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!

Unshakable
I had the extreme privilege a couple of weeks ago to be a part of taking two bus loads of Middle Schoolers to camp! Some might call that extreme punishment. Although it was a wild time, I LOVE Middle Schoolers and this group was the absolute best! The theme for the week was Unshakable! The word Unshakable makes me think of my own kids acting out a segment, that I’m sure they got from YouTube or the likes, called “No reaction.” My son will eat something extremely sour or spicy
Hearing God's Voice
As a teenager I was always so confused why I could not audibly hear God’s voice. I thought if I was truly saved that I would be able to hear God clearly speaking to me. For years I struggled with doubt because I did not want to share with anyone that “God did not speak to me”. When I finally talked to my mentor about how I was struggling she asked me, “When was the last time you read your Bible?.” I was embarrassed to answer that it had been months since I opened my Bible and
