Letting Go of People Pleasing
In the past, I struggled with people-pleasing. I like people to be happy, and I hated the thought of someone being unhappy with me. I used to go out of my way to make sure I hadn't disappointed someone with my words or actions and that I was doing everything I could...
The Narrow Way
The world will tell you there are many ways that lead to Heaven. But that is a lie. You can't earn, work, buy, or fake your way there. You can't follow the crowds, take shortcuts, or win a golden ticket. The Bible says, "You can enter God's Kingdom only through the...
Feelings & Emotions
Feelings and emotions. They can get the best of us. So how do we keep them in check? How do we navigate life daily, overcoming our flesh and trying to be more like Jesus? Let's pretend for a moment that our feelings are like a little child. Remember when you've been...
Luke 5:4-10

Proverbs 18:10
Do you have something or someone you run to when you're having a bad day? Maybe it's a friend you can call or text. Maybe it's a food that has your name written on it when you're at the end of your rope. Or maybe you go to the cupboard, get out a glass, and pour...
