Surrender
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In you’re your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 How do you respond when you are confused or afraid of the future? Anxiety disorders affect an estimated 42.5 million individuals annually of the adult population. We spend time discussing potential societal implications of this mental health decline such as the increased use of social media, a heavier weight/awarene
Cultivate
John 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” Earlier this month, I had the privilege of serving as a chaperone at our high school summer camp and spending time with many of the same 11th grade girls I have the opportunity to teach small group to throughout the year. The theme of camp was Cultivate, centered around John 15:5. Throughout the week, we were reminded that h
Loving Radically
1 Corinthians 16:14 Let all that you do be done with love. Many of us can recognize this verse!

New mercies, new beginnings
As a new year begins, many of us feel the familiar pull toward resolutions; better habits, healthier rhythms, deeper growth. There’s something hopeful about turning the calendar page. Yet for many women, the new year can also carry pressure: Do more. Be better. Try harder. Before we rush into goal-setting, Scripture gently invites us to pause and remember where true renewal begins. Lamentations 3:22-23 “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassion
God is in the midst of motherhood
I became a first-time mom this past May after welcoming my son, Riley, into the world. Besides my salvation, Riley is the greatest gift I have ever received. I look at my son in pure awe when I remember that the Lord gave him to me. I am so undeserving of the Lord’s goodness in my life. Right around the time I gave birth, my husband, Aaron, accepted his first pilot job, another very generous gift from the Lord. This job required my husband to be gone a week at a time. It wasn
