There is a kind of brokenness that doesn’t announce itself loudly. It doesn’t look like conflict. It doesn’t show up as rebellion. It doesn’t even feel sinful on the surface. It looks like flattening. Flattening happens when spiritual weight, authority, and responsibility are distributed evenly—without discernment, formation, or stewardship. When calling is treated as interchangeable. When maturity and development are given the same voice in the room, not out of honor, but ou

Worship Is About the Heart, Not the Spotlight Worship really is about the heart of leading people into something bigger than ourselves. At its core, worship was never meant to be a performance, a platform, or a personality-driven moment. It is an invitation—one that draws hearts upward and outward toward God. True worship doesn’t magnify the worship leader; it magnifies the One being worshiped. Scripture reminds us of this truth clearly: “God is spirit, and those who worship

🍇 They See the Fruit, Not the Years🍇 This was written for builders entering a season where the work they carried quietly for years is now visible. Not because they sought attention, but because consistency eventually produces fruit. If you’ve felt the internal shift that comes with visibility — where fear may flicker, but awareness settles in — this is for you. There comes a moment in building something real when you realize people are watching. Not because you announced an

One of the most unsettling things about the story of Noah isn’t actually the flood. It’s the boat. When you read Genesis closely, God is incredibly detailed. He gives exact measurements—length, width, height. He names the material. He even specifies the pitch to seal it inside and out. “So make yourself an ark of cypress wood… This is how you are to build it…” (Genesis 6:14–16) But there’s something strikingly absent. No steering. No sail. No engine. Noah was told to build a

Being a singer or a musician requires a humble mindset when it comes to critique and correction. What we do isn’t something you can fully see from the inside. You can feel it. You can sense it. You can think you’re landing it just right— but sound doesn’t live where our eyes are. That’s why this craft demands humility. We spend countless hours trying to get something as close to “right” as possible, constantly adjusting, correcting, refining… but there comes a point where sel

The anointing is not yours. It never was. God does not anoint people so they can claim power, build platforms, or protect positions. He anoints for His purposes—and He remains the Owner. Anointing is not your own talent, charisma, or influence. It is the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to accomplish what God has called you to do—beyond your natural ability. In Scripture, anointing always marked: • Divine appointment • God-given authority • Supernatural enablement for a specifi

Welcome back to The Humanity of Jesus—a space where we slow down long enough to truly see Him. As we continue this series, we do so intentionally. Not to rush past familiar scriptures, but to sit with the moments that reveal who Jesus really was. Not just the miracles He performed, but the humanity He lived. There is something especially sacred about this time of year to do just that. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we often focus on the miracle of it all—the star, the an

We don’t talk about this enough: Social media gives us access to people we were never meant to carry so closely. In real life, many friendships naturally fade with time, distance, seasons, spiritual growth, or simple life changes. That’s normal. That’s healthy. That’s part of walking out the story God writes. But social media pauses that process. It locks old seasons in place. It keeps faces, moments, friendships, and dynamics in front of us long after God released us from th

Come With Me Through This Series There is a reason Scripture reveals the humanity of Jesus piece by piece — His tears, His joy, His exhaustion, His anger. God didn’t owe us those details, but He gave them anyway. Why? Because we needed to know that He knows. We needed to see that He felt what we feel — from guttural angst to leaping joy — so that we could confidently choose Him as our personal Savior. It is perfect design, perfect leadership, the perfect King who understands

When we picture Jesus, we often see Him as divine — holy, powerful, radiant in glory. And He is all of that. But sometimes we forget: He was also deeply human. He didn’t just visit humanity — He entered it. He walked in our shoes, felt our emotions, and carried our burdens. This series, “The Human Side of Jesus,”  is an invitation — for those who’ve heard of Him but never really known Him, and for those who believe yet may have forgotten how human He truly was. ✨  Come alon

We all feel it — that invisible pressure to perform. What will my friends think? Will this make my parents proud? I hope my pastor approves. I can’t let my boss down. Somewhere along the way, we started living life like a stage — performing, adjusting, striving — hoping the people in the front row clap and not criticize. And even when they do applaud, it never feels like enough. Because the applause of people was never meant to fill the soul God created. The truth is: We exha

An Informative, Biblical Look at Two Christian Perspectives Every October, Christian families make different decisions about Halloween. Some enjoy the cultural fun; others avoid it entirely. And yet — both groups love Jesus. Rather than assuming or judging, it helps to understand the heart and Scripture behind each approach , and then choose what honors God in your home. View #1 — “We Participate as a Cultural Event” Some Christian families focus on the lighthearted  aspects:

I have taught and sang in group settings for many years, and it's not uncommon for someone to express their desire to sing solo or lead. That longing isn’t bad — after all, God made us creative. He gave us voices that long to express something deep inside. But it’s worth asking: why do I want to sing lead? There are wrong reasons and right reasons. Wrong reasons point to us.  Right reasons point to Him. Worship is not something we do  — it’s who we are. We were created to gl

Over the last ten years, I’ve watched many new music teachers come and go. Some step onto the scene with excitement, but soon life shifts, priorities change, and they take breaks or sabbaticals. I’ve seen seasons begin with passion and end quietly. I’ve also seen organizations try to build new programs that quickly fizzled out. I’ve seen others incorporate a little music but without the depth, knowledge, heart, or resources to sustain it. Most have left Jesus out of the cente
