Darn it, Read Your Bibles!

The lessons I’ve been learning in spiritual leadership will be a post I plan to share in the future, but it’s important to note that it was largely my laziness in leadership that kept me stuck where I was as a complacent Christian. 

You know, the Christian who says they put their faith in Jesus, that they believe in God, and show up to do the church thing on Sunday, but they walk back out those doors with zero heart change or transformation.

Wandering in the Wilderness

Wandering in the Wilderness

You are Free

You are Free

Sometimes Lord, I hate that this is my story. That my life is riddled with pain and brokenness and betrayal. That time and time again, the sin of others wounded me so deep. That I bear the scars, and I have to walk this road of sickness and healing, when they appear to get off free.
