What Message Do You Carry

Seven weeks ago I moved to Kona, Hawaii for a 6-month training and equipping season with Youth with a Mission. I am a part of the “Fire and Fragrance” school, centered around prayer and worship. Within this 330+ student school, there are ‘tracks’ to develop a specific skill to use in the nations to bridge …

Finishing with Excellence

Happy May Day! As you begin trading out the sweaters for t-shirts and the coats for windbreakers, may you feel the Holy Spirit clothing you in your new attire for the coming season! Perceiving with open eyes and receiving with open hands the new thing He is doing within and through me has been my experience the last few weeks …

Psalm 18

I am so far from God's standard of faithfulness, integrity, purity, and humility that David sang in this psalm would bring His reciprocated qualities. Yet, when He gazes at me, He sees the radiant robes of righteousness He died to wrap around me.

Sincere Love

Paul instructed the church in Rome to honor each other above themselves. "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality." Roman 12:12-13 My design is to bring the Good News of Jesus to the ends of the earth; my calling is to live …

I Am Sending You…

"My life has not fit into any real pattern, other than the fact that anything anybody else could not do or would not do God would drop into my spirit, and I would do it. Sometimes God sent me to a pastor, sometimes to a king, sometimes to a church that was praying. But everywhere …

John Chau

Ever met someone who was just different? It was a flurry of introductions when the 50 of us college students landed in Tel Aviv, grabbed our bags, and loaded onto a bus. I don't remember the first moment I met John Chau, but as the 10-day trip through Israel continued, it became clear to me …

Hope in these Times

The burning message in my heart to share is hope. As the flower that finds its way up through cracks in the concrete, this hope comes from a place of trial. We wouldn’t know the anchor of hope for our soul without being hard-pressed on all sides by trouble. From news media highlighting “the sky …

Release for Peace

"Come to me, all who are weary and heavy-burdened..." Anyone else looking around at our world and incredulously asking, "Really though, what is going on?!" I've been weighed down by the heaviness of it all; and I've avoided the news more than I probably should have since I want to be adequately informed. Somehow I …

6 Ways to Energize (other than coffee)

Inspired from a conversation with my sweet mama, I pointed out "she" was consuming way more coffee in this quarantine season than is necessary. I tried encouraging her to drink less before realizing I was calling the kettle black, seeing how I've grown quite dependent on my home pour overs to power through the day. …

Uplift Women

It's a special Motivation Monday when I get to introduce this lady who's like a sister to me. We wonder amused and amazed at how far God has brought us from freshmen at the private high school we coincidentally attended together! (I say coincidentally because but for the divine intervention of Jesus, she never would …

Letters to the Church

What if the world saw a people with peace that surpasses comprehension, an inexpressible joy, and immeasurable greatness of power in the Spirit? Herein lies the call of the Church!

Busy Busy

The pilot's voice booms over the intercom: "I have good news and bad news. The bad news is we're lost; the good news is we're making great time!" Doesn't that ring so true in our busy, busy lives?? When we accidentally hit that pause in the hustle, we look around and wonder where we're even …
