God welcomes those who live with integrity, truth, and faithfulness, offering stability and belonging to all who let His grace shape their daily lives.
Good morning, dear friends. I’m so glad you’re here. Some of us arrived with sunshine in our step, others with a storm in our chest. Some of us feel strong; others feel threadbare. All of us are seen, known, and welcomed by the God who meets us right where we are and loves us too much to leave us ...read more

God’s mercy meets us in our deepest failures; true repentance brings cleansing, renewal, and restored joy for those who honestly turn to Him.
Some of us walked in today with a knot in the stomach and a stone in the soul. We know the sound of shame. It whispers in the quiet moments, it shouts in the sleepless hours. Guilt that gnaws. Regret that repeats. Failure that fogs the heart. If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling and wondered, Can ...read more

God’s presence and promise give us courage to face opposition and uncertainty, reminding us that prayer shapes our lives and God stands with us always.
Some weeks feel like a wrestling match. You wake up with a knot in your stomach, step into the day with a brave face, and still hear the whispers of worry: What if this doesn’t work? What if they don’t understand? What if I’m not enough? You’ve felt the headwinds—critics at the office, tension at ...read more
Scripture: Jeremiah 1:19
Topics: Victory
Trusting God in seasons of waiting renews our strength, turning weariness into endurance and hope, as faith refuses to panic amid uncertainty.
Some of us walked in today with a wait in our bones. We’ve stood in waiting rooms, stared at silent phones, counted ceiling tiles in the midnight hours. We’ve waited for a call back from a doctor, a prodigal to come home, a door to open, a cloud to move. Life can feel like a long line at the DMV of ...read more
Scripture: Isaiah 40:31
Topics: Perseverance, Endurance
When we face overwhelming challenges, prayer and faith in God’s promises empower us to overcome fear and step forward with courage and obedience.
Some days, the mirror tells the truth you’d rather ignore. Not the truth about hairlines and headlines, but the whisper that says, “You’re small.” Bills stack tall, bosses bark loud, diagnoses loom large, and your heart crouches like a child in the hallway of a big, echoing house. Have you felt ...read more
Scripture: Numbers 13:30-33
Topics: Overcoming Mindset, Grasshopper Mentality
Trusting God at life’s obstacles, we consecrate ourselves in prayer and obedience, expecting His presence to lead us and perform wonders beyond our ability.
Some of us walked in today with a river in front of us. A challenge that feels swollen and strong, a problem that pushes against the banks of our courage. Maybe it’s a diagnosis that rattles you, a relationship that drains you, or a decision that confuses you. You’ve stood at the edge, heart ...read more
Scripture: Joshua 3:5-9
Topics: Sanctification, Preparation
True satisfaction comes from delighting in God, who lovingly reshapes and fulfills our desires as we trust and surrender our hearts to Him.
Some of us walked in today with aching hearts, carrying names and needs that feel too heavy for our hands—children we love, futures we can’t forecast, bills that won’t budge, memories that still sting. Others arrived with a quiet hope, a whisper that maybe, just maybe, God has something tender and ...read more

Topics: Delight, God
God sees and values our hidden faithfulness, works through our weakness, and calls us to trust His authority and power through prayerful obedience.
Some of us know the quiet corners of life—the cubicle where no one notices, the kitchen where you serve with a smile, the classroom where faith is a whisper. You wonder, Does God see me here? Does this count? Friend, the Father’s eyes are not dim. He sees the sparrow’s flight and your faithful ...read more
Scripture: Romans 13:1
Topics: Moses, Calling, Confidence
God uses ordinary people’s courage and compassion to lift others from life’s pits, reminding us to act rightly and help those in need now.
Some days feel like pits, don’t they? Not just potholes in the road, but deep, echoing cisterns of disappointment, decisions, and delays. You pray and the sky seems quiet. You plan and the ground gives way. You stand in the middle of a week that you never wanted and wonder, How do I get out of ...read more
Scripture: Jeremiah 38:7-13
Topics: Courage, Compassion
Trusting God’s presence and help gives us courage and steadiness, even when life feels overwhelming and uncertain, because faith refuses to panic.
Some of us walked in today with hearts that feel waterlogged. Headlines pound like hail on a tin roof. Bills stack up like sandbags at the door. A diagnosis, a disappointment, a detour you didn’t see coming—each one another inch on the flood gauge of the soul. You wonder, “How high will this go? ...read more
