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

Saying "Yes" to the World's "No"
I recently purchased a graphic Christian t-shirt with the words, “Say Yes to the World’s No” printed on the front. While I know the “gist” of what that statement entails, (such as being fully committed to Jesus, being obedient to His Word and serving Him with gladness), I believe we can delve so much deeper into the topic. The story of Lot’s wife has been on my mind so much recently. I have spent many countless hours “looking back” at a history I can not change. I believe th
Living Authentic - Refuge Connect Recap
Two weeks ago Mid-Way had its annual Refuge Connect Weekend for the students in our youth ministry. This weekend is all about getting students away from distractions and into God’s Word while being surrounded by a church family that loves them. This year the theme was "Authentic". Throughout the weekend students were invited to dive into topics under the umbrella of authenticity such as private integrity, public pressure to perform, and lifelong consistency. Although I was ho
