This discipleship walk with Jesus has highs and lows, joys and sorrows. Through the power of His person and His Word, He gives us honey from the rock, sweetness to help when life gets overwhelming. I hope you'll join me as we dig into the Word, seek the Lord that He may be found, and grow closer to Him, truly learning to taste and see that the Lord is good, no matter what happens.

    Learning to Love the Word of the Lord

    We've all made resolutions to read the Bible more at the beginning of a new year. But soon we find ourselves faltering, hitting a wall, or sometimes feeling convicted and pushing the Word away.  In this episode, I share how the Lord challenged the motivation behind my goal of reading the Bible in a year. And I talk about how, through Psalm 119, the Lord is answering a prayer He stuck in my heart: how to love the Word more deeply because the Word is Jesus Himself. As we look at Psalm 119 today, my prayer is the Lord deepens our love for the Scriptures and Himself, and that we would see how powerful His word is to revive, correct, and sustain us.  Scriptures Referenced: Psalm 119:25, 71,92,164,172Hebrews 4:12John 1:1-5Matthew 7Colossians 1:15-17Romans 71 John 1:1You can find me on Instagram / Threads

    The Joy of the Lord's Salvation

    C.S. Lewis once said, "Joy is the serious business of heaven." In today's episode, I talk candidly about how putting together today's episode was a challenge, directly related the word the Lord gave me for the year: Joy.  Whether it's in a season of needing to confess hidden sin before the Lord, and letting Him dig out deep roots or a season of deepening abiding in Jesus...the Lord's joy is available to us. But it often is cultivated in ways we don't expect.  And it isn't something we can produce on our own. But the good news is that the Lord wants us to have His joy, and He will use whatever means necessary for us to experience His joy in our lives and He will, according to His word, make our joy complete.

    Remembering 2025 and Looking Forward to 2026

    There is power in remembering the Lord's goodness, especially in the struggle, suffering, and difficulty of life. Today, I'm remembering how Jesus has carried me through the most grievous and horrible year of my life. Yet He has showed up in the most amazing and sometimes quiet ways.  As I look back, I'm asking two questions: What does remembering what the Lord has done provoke in you and me? And in the midst of what we walk through in this life, what do we think the Lord can provide? Then, as I look forward, I'm sharing how the Lord has given me the word Joy for this year. Not the kind of head-in-the-sand blind optimism. That's not joy. But delight in Him and who He is. How there is joy and delight in fixing my eyes, mind, and heart on Jesus, following His leading, resting in His love, holding fast to Him in trial, and trusting His will. I pray this episode blesses you as you remember 2025 and look forward to 2026. Also, check out my favorite books on Instagram!

    Take Courage in the Lord

    Following up from last week, I'm digging deeper in to Mark 6 and why it's so important that Jesus tells the disciples to take courage and not be afraid.  When life's storms try to swallow us whole, and things seem bleak and difficult, Jesus is with us. He's calling us to courage. To deepen the roots of our faith and trust in Him. He wants us to walk confidently in Him, not in fear, which clouds our vision and takes our eyes off Him. The Lord was faithful to walk the disciples through many, many storms. And He's faithful to do the same for you and me. Today, will we take courage and not fear? Even if we can't tangibly discern Him, Jesus is with us and He will get us through the storm.

    When Jesus Sends You into The Storm

    The storms of life are inevitable, but guess what? So is Jesus and His being with us in them. Though there are many times where we can't see Him, discern His presence, or understand why we are going through what we are going through, Jesus is always with us. Because He's promised to never leave us or forsake us. However there are times that our lack of discerning His person or presence comes from a hardening of heart.  In today's episode, I share what the Lord taught me about my own hardness of heart through the disciples' experience in the storm in Mark 6. I'm preaching to myself today, friends, reminding myself (and you) that Jesus has always provided for me, He's never been late, and He has been with me in the midst of every storm I've faced. And He's with you too. I pray you find encouragement no matter what difficulties, hurts, griefs, sorrows, or even joys you're facing today.  Scriptures referenced: Mark 6 (v.45-52 is the main focus)Matthew 7:24-27Luke 6:46-49Hebrews 13:5Mark 5:25-45John 4John 11:5-6 You can find me on Instagram / Threads

    Give Thanks to the Lord

    What are you thankful for? Or in light of what you are facing in life, does it feel close to impossible to be thankful? It's tempting to believe that when life is completely broken or full of betrayal or sorrow that thankfulness feels unimaginable. But Jesus has shown us a better way. The night before Jesus was crucified, He instituted the sacrament of Communion. He passed the cup and broke unleavened bread, telling us to eat and drink in remembrance of Him and His crucifixion. Yet, before He passed these things around the table, Jesus gave thanks. As we celebrate Thanksgiving, and enter into the Christmas season, what is the cup that is before you? What is broken in your life, and feels like it can never be put right? Are we willing to give thanks for these things, even though grief and sorrow are our companions? Do we realize that when we give thanks to the Lord in the midst of our sorrow and trouble, this is also a way that we show the Lord's death and resurrection until He returns? Friends, I know life is difficult for many. But today, my challenge to you and to me, is to look around and ask the Lord to help us find things that we can be truly thankful for.  Scriptures Referenced: Luke 22:14-20Matthew 26: 27-282 Corinthians 10:3-6Philippians 4:61 Thessalonians 4:17, 5:16-18Hebrews 13:5Psalm 103Isaiah 61:1-3You can find me on Instagram / Threads

    Delight Yourself in the Lord

    What does it mean to delight ourselves in the Lord? We love to quote that verse, yet David outlines a way to walk with the Lord, where trust, faithfulness, and commitment play a big part in what it means to delight in the Lord. Today, I'm reminding myself (and you!) that there is delight to be found in the Lord when we trust Him. When we obey Him. When we cultivate faithfulness right where we are. As we head toward Thanksgiving and the end of the year, I want to turn my heart towards thanking the Lord and practicing gratitude for all He's done in the midst of a difficult and grievous year.  Will you join me?

    God's Fruit in the Land of Affliction

    Do you believe that the Lord will bring fruit in your life through affliction? Today, I'm getting passionate on the podcast as I preach the truth to myself - and you all get to listen. I briefly examine two specific examples in the lives of Leah and Joseph. Both afflicted, though in different ways, they experienced how the Lord saw their suffering and eventually answered them in the midst of it. They both came to a place where they could praise the Lord and bless Him for the affliction they walked through because it bore fruit.  Can we and will we do the same? That's my challenge to you and to myself today: as we walk through suffering, will we trust the character of God who has proven Himself to us again and again? Or will we depend on our own emotions, what we see, and how we feel?  Scriptures referenced: Genesis 29:31-35Genesis 41:50-51 (And listen to Voddie Baucham's sermon, "Let That Stuff Go"!)Romans 8:28Mark 4:13-201 Thessalonians 5:23-24You can find me on Instagram / Threads
