The Power of Not Letting Go
by Meghan Garmon on May 13th, 2025
"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." - Romans 12:12 There’s something powerful about not letting go. About holding on when everything around you seems to be falling apart. About praying and refusing to give up even when the situation looks impossible. I read a story about a young boy in Florida who was attacked by an alligator while swimming in a nearby lake. His mo...  Read More

Doing Your Part
by Meghan Garmon on May 12th, 2025
"They went back to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her." - 1 Samuel 1:19 Praying is powerful. It’s how we connect with God, pour out our hearts, and seek His guidance. But prayer alone isn’t the end of the story. It’s only the beginning. Sometimes, we get so caught up in waiting for God to move that we forget He’s waiting for us to act on what we’ve ...  Read More

"Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her." - Proverbs 31:28 There’s something undeniably powerful about the love and faith of a mother. From the earliest days of childhood, many of us can remember our mothers pouring into us with words of encouragement, guidance, and endless prayers.

Praying With Expectation
by Meghan Garmon on May 10th, 2025
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." - Mark 11:24 Hannah’s faith is powerful because it wasn’t just words. It was belief in action. When she went to the temple and poured her heart out before God, her pain was real, and her desperation was undeniable. But when Eli, the priest, misunderstood her passion and thought she was drun...  Read More

Praying Beyond Yourself
by Meghan Garmon on May 9th, 2025
"Then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall touch his head." - 1 Samuel 1:11When you look at the story of Hannah, you see that her prayer was different. It wasn’t just about what God could do for her. It was about what God could do through her. While she longed for a child, her prayer went beyond her own desires. She promised that if God blessed her with a son, s...  Read More

Praying Beyond Your Circumstances
by Meghan Garmon on May 8th, 2025
"Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known." - Jeremiah 33:3 As we looked at yesterday, Hannah’s story is a powerful reminder that true faith looks beyond the pain of our current situation and holds on to God’s promises. She had every reason to give up, to let her pain silence her prayers. But instead, she used her brokenness as a reason to...  Read More

Praying Through Your Barrenness
by Meghan Garmon on May 7th, 2025
"She was deeply distressed and prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly." - 1 Samuel 1:10When reading the story of Hannah (in 1 Samuel 1-2), we see a story of deep pain and incredible faith. She desperately wanted a child, but year after year, her prayers seemed to go unanswered. In her culture, barrenness wasn’t just a personal struggle. It was a source of shame and rejection. Others ridiculed her, a...  Read More

A Mother’s Relentless Prayer
by Meghan Garmon on May 6th, 2025
"Pray without ceasing." - 1 Thessalonians 5:17 There’s something powerful about a mother who prays. It’s more than just words spoken into the air. It’s a persistent cry from the heart, driven by love and faith that God will make a way even when everything seems hopeless. The story of Monica, the mother of St. Augustine, is a beautiful reminder of what relentless prayer can accomplish. For over thi...  Read More

The Power of a Praying Mother
by Meghan Garmon on May 5th, 2025
"Therefore I have lent him to the Lord. As long as he lives, he is lent to the Lord." - 1 Samuel 1:28 There’s something special about the prayers of a mother. From the moment a child is born, a mother’s heart is naturally wired to nurture, protect, and guide. And when life throws its hardest challenges, it’s often a mother’s prayers that carry her children through. Throughout history, we’ve seen t...  Read More

Unity and Community
by Meghan Garmon on May 4th, 2025
"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." - Matthew 18:20 It’s amazing what people can overcome when they come together. When you think about some of the darkest times in history, you find that unity and community were what helped people survive and thrive. No matter how much the world tried to divide them, their commitment to building community was stronger. God des...  Read More

Building Community Through Trials
by Meghan Garmon on May 3rd, 2025
"When your children ask in time to come, ‘What do those stones mean to you?’ then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord." - Joshua 4:6-7 The book of Joshua is a powerful story of God’s people moving from oppression to freedom, from wandering to a promised future. After enduring the cruelty of slavery and years of hardship, the Isr...  Read More

The Strength to Overcome
by Meghan Garmon on May 2nd, 2025
"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart, I have overcome the world." - John 16:33 Life can feel overwhelming when it feels like everything is working against you. It’s easy to feel trapped, wondering how you’re ever going to make it over the mountain of stress, anxiety, and setbacks you face. Maybe you’re struggling wi...  Read More

Climbing Your Mountain
by Meghan Garmon on May 1st, 2025
"I can do all things through him who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13 Sometimes life feels like an impossible mountain to climb. Whether it's personal challenges, struggles with your health, financial hardships, or just feeling stuck in a situation you can't change, it can feel like you're staring up at a peak that's way too high to reach. You might wonder how anyone could make it over somethin...  Read More

Stay Ready for the Fight
by Meghan Garmon on April 30th, 2025
"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." - 1 Peter 5:8 The enemy does not fight fair. He does not announce his attacks in advance or wait until you are ready. He looks for the moment when you are distracted, when your guard is down, and when you least expect it. That is why you cannot afford to get so caught up in buildi...  Read More

Be Prepared for Warfare
by Meghan Garmon on April 29th, 2025
"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil." - Ephesians 6:11 When opposition came against Nehemiah and the people of God as they rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, they did not panic. They did not quit. They did not let fear paralyze them. Instead, they took a two-fold approach. They prayed and they set a guard. They fought in the spiritual by call...  Read More

Do the Work on What Needs to Be Repaired
by Meghan Garmon on April 28th, 2025
"So we rebuilt the wall, and all the wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work." - Nehemiah 4:6 Everyone has something in their life that has been torn down. Maybe it was your confidence after a failure. Maybe it was your trust after a betrayal. Maybe it was your faith after disappointment. The enemy has a way of attacking the very things that make you feel sec...  Read More

What You Answer to Matters
by Meghan Garmon on April 27th, 2025
"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." - Proverbs 4:23 People will always have something to say. They will question your decisions, criticize your efforts, and try to plant doubt in your mind. The voices of negativity, fear, and insecurity will always try to speak louder than the truth. But the reality is, you do not have to answer for everything you are called to...  Read More

Overcome Discouragement
by Meghan Garmon on April 26th, 2025
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." - Deuteronomy 31:6 Rebuilding is never easy. It takes courage, determination, and faith. And any time you try to rise up and take back what was lost, there will always be opposition.

Rebuilding Together
by Meghan Garmon on April 25th, 2025
"Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for the good work." - Nehemiah 2:18 There comes a time when you have to stop looking at what was lost and start rebuilding. That is exactly where God’s people found themselves after 70 years in exile. Their homes were gone, their city was in ruins, and their temple had been destroyed. But instead of staying stuck in grief, they made a dec...  Read More

Pulling in the Same Direction
by Meghan Garmon on April 24th, 2025
"If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand." - Mark 3:25 I read a story about two boys riding a tandem bicycle up a steep hill. The boy in the front pedaled with all his strength, straining to push forward. When they finally reached the top, exhausted, he turned to the boy in the back and said, “That was tough! I pedaled as hard as I could to get us up here.” The o...  Read More

Excited About the Word
by Meghan Garmon on April 23rd, 2025
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." - Psalm 119:105 There are many things people look for in a church. Some are drawn to the music, the atmosphere, or the programs. Others look for impressive buildings, stage productions, or well-known leaders. But the foundation of a strong, thriving church is not in any of those things. It is in the Word of God. When people are truly hungry ...  Read More

A Church You’re Glad to Be In
by Meghan Garmon on April 22nd, 2025
"I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’" - Psalm 122:1 Church should not feel like an obligation. It should not be something you endure, tolerate, or force yourself to do. It should not feel like a chore, a tax filing, or a doctor's appointment you would rather avoid. Church should be a place of joy, a place of life, a place where you can exhale from the struggles o...  Read More

Commit to Working on Your Wounds
by Meghan Garmon on April 21st, 2025
"And he said, ‘I will not let you go unless you bless me.’" - Genesis 32:26 Healing is not instant. It takes time, persistence, and a willingness to do the hard work. When Jacob wrestled with God, he refused to let go until he received his blessing. He knew this was not a quick fix. It was a fight for his future, and he was committed to seeing it through. That is where many people miss their break...  Read More

The Day of Deliverance
by Meghan Garmon on April 20th, 2025
"He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay." - Matthew 28:6 The waiting is over. The silence is broken. The stone has been rolled away. Jesus is alive. Easter is the day of deliverance. It is the day when everything changed. Sin was defeated. Death lost its power. Hope was restored. What seemed impossible became reality, and what looked like the end was only th...  Read More

What Do You Do on Day 2?
by Meghan Garmon on April 19th, 2025
"Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning." - Psalm 30:5 We talk about Good Friday—the day of pain, loss, and heartbreak. And we celebrate Easter Sunday—the day of victory, resurrection, and redemption. But what about Saturday? What about Day 2? Day 2 is the space in between. It is the day after everything has fallen apart but before the breakthrough comes. It is the waiting...  Read More

The Price of Your Freedom
by Meghan Garmon on April 18th, 2025
"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed." - 1 Peter 2:24 On this day, over two thousand years ago, the weight of the world’s sin was placed upon the shoulders of Jesus.

Released by God
by Meghan Garmon on April 17th, 2025
"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 God does not just rename and redefine you—He releases you. He sets you free from the chains of your past, the weight of your mistakes, and the labels you have carried for too long. But the question is, will you walk in that freedom? Jacob had spent his whole life bound by deception, fear, and the identity others placed on him. He ...  Read More

Renamed and Redefined by God
by Meghan Garmon on April 16th, 2025
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." - 2 Corinthians 5:17 Jacob had spent his life living up to the name others had given him: trickster, deceiver, manipulator. Every decision he made seemed to confirm what people believed about him. But when he wrestled with God, something changed. In that moment, God did not just bless him;...  Read More

God Will Reveal What Needs to Be Healed
by Meghan Garmon on April 15th, 2025
"From now on you shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed." - Genesis 32:28 Jacob had spent his whole life deceiving, manipulating, and pretending to be someone he was not. He had built his success on trickery, but now, on the verge of stepping into his destiny, God confronted him with the one thing he had always avoided; himself.I...  Read More

Recognize Your Need for Healing
by Meghan Garmon on April 14th, 2025
"Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise." - Jeremiah 17:14 Jacob had everything—wealth, relationships, status—but deep down, he knew something was missing. It was not more money he needed. It was not more success. It was healing. On the outside, he looked like a man who had it all together, but on the inside, he knew that the weight of his past...  Read More

What Got You Here Won’t Get You There
by Meghan Garmon on April 13th, 2025
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" - Isaiah 43:19 There comes a moment in life when you realize that the way you have been doing things is not enough to get you where you need to go. You have been coasting on certain habits, relying on familiar routines, and holding on to mindsets that worked in the past. But now they are no longer enough. You feel stuck, cau...  Read More

You Can’t Move Forward Without Looking Inward
by Meghan Garmon on April 12th, 2025
"Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!" - Psalm 139:23-24 Everyone wants to move forward in life. You want to reach new levels, experience new blessings, and step into the plans God has for you.

When It’s Time to Go
by Meghan Garmon on April 11th, 2025
"Then the Lord said to Jacob, 'Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.'" - Genesis 31:3 When you read the story of Jacob, you find that he spent years in a place that was never meant to be his final destination. He had been mistreated, manipulated, and taken advantage of by his father-in-law, Laban. But one day, God spoke to him and made it clear: his season...  Read More

The Regret of Not Acting
by Meghan Garmon on April 10th, 2025
"So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin." - James 4:17 Regret does not only come from making the wrong choice. Sometimes, the deepest regret comes from failing to act when you should have. The opportunity you let slip away, the step of faith you never took, the calling you ignored. Those moments can weigh just as heavily on your heart as any mistake. Maybe God...  Read More

Think Before You Act
by Meghan Garmon on April 9th, 2025
"The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it." - Proverbs 27:12 Regret is a heavy burden to carry. It sneaks up on you when you least expect it, reminding you of the moments you wish you could take back. But while God’s grace covers your past mistakes, you do not have to keep adding to them. One of the best ways to live without regret is to think before you ac...  Read More

If you are still breathing, He still has a purpo...  Read More

"Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 3:13-14 God is not a God who confines you to your past. He is not holding you hostage to your failures, mistakes, or painful moments. He is always calling you forward, weaving every broken piece of your story into a greater purpos...  Read More

by Meghan Garmon on April 6th, 2025
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" - Isaiah 43:19 When the exiles returned to Jerusalem, they came home to devastation. The city was in ruins. The walls were broken, the gates burned, and the temple was nothing but rubble. It would have been easy to sit there in despair, mourning what was lost and wishing things had turned out differently. But Nehemiah knew s...  Read More

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" - Isaiah 43:19 It is easy to get stuck in the past. Whether it is memories of mistakes, seasons of struggle, or even moments when God moved powerfully in your life, looking back can keep you from moving forward. Sometimes, we can get so caught up in what God did before that we expect Him to do things the same way again. You ...  Read More

Stop Rehearsing the Past
by Meghan Garmon on April 4th, 2025
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past." - Isaiah 43:18 Regret has a way of pulling you into an endless cycle, replaying moments you cannot change. You analyze every detail, wondering how things could have been different. What if you had made another choice? What if you had spoken up or stayed silent? The past becomes a loop in your mind, trapping you in what was, instead of freeing y...  Read More
