Emotional Self Awareness
by Ministry Support on December 23rd, 2025
“Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness.” - Psalm 86:11 Spiritual growth is often described in terms of prayer, Scripture, and obedience, but there is another layer that many people overlook. God also calls His children to know what is happening inside their own hearts. Emotional awareness is not a modern idea. It is part of maturity. You cannot surrender to God what you ref... Read More

When Trauma Follows You into New Seasons
by Ministry Support on December 21st, 2025
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” - Psalm 147:3 New seasons feel exciting on the surface. You step into a fresh opportunity, a new relationship, a different environment, or a clearer direction. Everything around you says this should be a new beginning. Yet something from your past keeps showing up in the present. Old emotions creep into new conversations. Familiar fears rise ... Read More

The Hidden Bruises Shaping Your Reactions
by Ministry Support on December 20th, 2025
“Search me, God, and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious thoughts.” - Psalm 139:23 Some conflicts seem bigger than the moment that triggered them. A small comment turns into a sharp response. A simple misunderstanding becomes a heavy argument. Initially, it feels like the issue is right in front of you, but something deeper may be stirring beneath the surface. Old pain has a way of showing ... Read More

Stop Building Fences Around Your Heart
by Ministry Support on December 19th, 2025
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” - Proverbs 4:23 People build emotional fences for all kinds of reasons. Something hurt them. Someone disappointed them. A moment caught them off guard, and the safest response seemed to be closing the gate and keeping everyone at a distance. At first, the fence feels like protection. It gives you a sense of control. It helps ... Read More

Your Destiny Is Bigger Than Your Difficulty
by Ministry Support on December 18th, 2025
“Forget the former things. Do not dwell on the past.” - Isaiah 43:18 Some seasons leave you staring at what happened instead of where you are going. A memory lingers. A disappointment hangs around longer than you expected. A setback keeps replaying in your mind. When that becomes your focus, the future starts to feel smaller than it really is. God speaks into moments like that and reminds you that... Read More

Seeing God’s Hand in What Tried to Break You
by Ministry Support on December 17th, 2025
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him.” - Romans 8:28 Some chapters of life leave a mark so deep that you wonder if anything good could ever come out of them. Pain changes your breathing. Disappointment alters your confidence. Wounds shape the way you see the world. It is natural to look back and only remember what hurt. Yet Scripture invites you to take anot... Read More

How to Stop Resentment from Taking Up Residence in Your Heart
by Ministry Support on December 14th, 2025
“Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you.” - Ephesians 4:31Resentment does not arrive all at once. It drifts in slowly, almost like a cloud that begins as a thin layer in the distance. Initially, it seems harmless. A moment hurt you. A comment stung. An expectation was not met. You brushed it off and kept moving. But over time, that small cloud begins to ... Read More

Remembering What God Already Brought You Through
by Ministry Support on December 13th, 2025
“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” - Psalm 103:2 Life moves fast, and when pressures rise, it is easy to focus only on what is hard right now. You see the problem in front of you. You feel the weight of the moment. You wonder how things will work out. But Scripture invites you to pause and look back. Not to relive old pain, but to remember the faithfulness of God in your... Read More

The Cost of Harboring Feelings
by Ministry Support on December 11th, 2025
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” - 1 Peter 5:7 Every person carries feelings that are hard to talk about. Hurt that lingers. Disappointment that hangs in the background. Frustration that you try to ignore. At first, it feels easier to hold those emotions inside. You tell yourself that staying quiet keeps the peace. You tell yourself that time will take care of it. You tell ... Read More

Seeing From God’s View Instead of the World’s View
by Ministry Support on December 7th, 2025
“Those who look to him are radiant. Their faces shall never be ashamed.” - Psalm 34:5 There are times in life when all you can see is what is right in front of you. You see the problem. You see the pressure. You see the part of the story that hurts. When that happens, it is easy to draw conclusions based on what your eyes can measure. But God never intended for you to live only by what you see. He... Read More

Choosing Joy When You Do Not Feel Joy
by Ministry Support on December 3rd, 2025
“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice.” - Philippians 4:4 There are seasons when joy feels natural. Life settles into place, prayers get answered, and your heart lifts without much effort. But there are also seasons when joy feels completely out of reach. You wake up tired, you carry more weight than you want to admit, and nothing in your situation feels joyful at all. It is in th... Read More

Getting Your “But” Out of the Way
by Ministry Support on December 2nd, 2025
“For nothing will be impossible with God.” - Luke 1:37 When you look through Scripture, you find a pattern that shows up in almost every story. God speaks, invites, and calls. And people respond with faith that sounds confident at first, but then comes the word that stops everything. The word but. It is one small word that has kept many people from seeing what God was trying to show them. It is of... Read More

Grace Is Still the Invitation
by Ministry Support on November 27th, 2025
"For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace." - John 1:16 There are moments in life when the distance feels too wide. Maybe it has been weeks, months, or even years since you’ve truly felt close to God. Whether it was failure, shame, apathy, or just a slow drift, something happened. And now you wonder if the door is still open. Let me tell you, it is. Grace is still the invitatio... Read More

Healing Happens in His Hands
by Ministry Support on November 26th, 2025
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." - Psalm 147:3 When life feels shattered, the natural instinct is to run. Run from the pain, run from the past, run from the things you can’t fix. But the truth is that healing is not found in your escape route. It’s found in the hands of the One who knows how to restore what has been broken. You might be tempted to numb the pain, distract you... Read More

Pray Like You’re in a Battle
by Ministry Support on November 20th, 2025
"Pray without ceasing." – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 When you are in a spiritual battle, prayer cannot be a side note. It is not a nice option or a religious habit you squeeze into your morning. It is your lifeline. Your weapon. Your strategy. The battle you are facing is not just physical, emotional, or mental. It is spiritual. And if you are going to win a spiritual war, you have to fight with spiritu... Read More

Spiritual Boldness in the Battle
by Ministry Support on November 19th, 2025
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." – Joshua 1:9 When the enemy attacks, he doesn’t play fair. He strikes in your moments of weakness. He throws lies when you’re already low. He uses fear to make you freeze. And if you’re not careful, you’ll spend your days on the defensive, just trying to survive. But God did not call you to... Read More

God Will Back You Up
by Ministry Support on November 18th, 2025
"If God is for us, who can be against us?" – Romans 8:31 There’s a kind of courage that only shows up when you take the first step. Not the kind of courage that feels invincible, but the kind that moves forward even while you're shaking. Maybe you’re standing in front of something that feels too big for you. You know it needs to be done. You know God is nudging you to move. But fear keeps whisperi... Read More

Apply Wisdom to the Battle
by Ministry Support on November 15th, 2025
"Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding" – Proverbs 3:13 You might be in a fight right now. Not a physical one, but a real battle for your peace, your purpose, your growth, or your future. Life gets heavy, and when it does, your first instinct might be to push harder, grind more, or force your way through. But sometimes the real breakthrough does not come from effo... Read More

The Promise Is Greater
by Ministry Support on November 7th, 2025
"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" – Romans 8:31 When Abram found out that his nephew Lot had been taken by enemy kings, he could have assumed the story was over. The opposition was too strong. The loss too great. The situation too far gone. But instead of shrinking back, Abram stepped forward. He went to battle with confidence because he believed so...

Is It Worth the Fight?
by Ministry Support on November 4th, 2025
"But when Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men… and went in pursuit." – Genesis 14:14 Every now and then, you come to a moment that demands a decision. Not just a feeling or a thought, but a choice. You have to decide whether what you are facing is worth pushing through or worth walking away from. That’s what Abram faced when he found out his nephew Lot... Read More

"When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, 318 of them, and went in pursuit as far as Dan." – Genesis 14:14 Before Abram picked up a sword, before he strategized a rescue, before he risked everything to chase after what was taken, he had to make one simple but powerful decision. He had to decide that Lot was worth fighting for. Lot w... Read More

Step Outside the Walls
by Ministry Support on October 26th, 2025
"And he said to them, 'Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.'" – Mark 16:15 Sometimes we assume that ministry only happens inside the walls of a church. That people have to come to us, at the time we’ve decided, on the terms we’ve set, in the building we’ve labeled sacred. But God has never been confined to buildings. He moves where people are, and He calls us to do ... Read More

When He Speaks, You Move

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6 To move with God means you trust Him more than your surroundings. It means you are willing to follow His voice even when your environment tells you to stay still. You don’t let the noise around you drown out the nudge within yo... Read More

Move Before You Understand
by Ministry Support on October 21st, 2025
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." - Psalm 119:105 We live in a world obsessed with clarity. We want the full picture, all the answers, and guaranteed outcomes before we make a move. But faith does not work that way. Faith moves first and understands later. God reveals more as you obey more. If you are waiting to understand everything before you move, you may be waiting for t... Read More

Step Into the Deep
by Ministry Support on October 20th, 2025
"For he was astonished, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish that they had taken" - Luke 5:9 There is a moment in Luke 5 when Jesus tells Peter to launch out into the deep and let down his nets for a catch. Peter is hesitant. He explains that they’ve worked all night and caught nothing. From a fisherman’s perspective, the timing is off, the location is questionable, and the command does... Read More

Comfort is Not the Goal
by Ministry Support on October 19th, 2025
"And he said to them all, 'If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.'" – Luke 9:23 There’s nothing wrong with comfort. It feels good to settle into what’s familiar, predictable, and manageable. But if you follow Jesus long enough, you’ll find He rarely leads you where comfort is king. That’s because comfort is not His goal. Transformation is. We... Read More

God’s Plan Doesn’t Wait for Your Preferences
by Ministry Support on October 18th, 2025
"And he said to all, 'If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.'" – Luke 9:23 God is always moving. His plans are unfolding. His purpose is advancing. And the truth is, He’s not stopping to ask what you’re most comfortable with. When God moves, He doesn’t pause to consider whether the direction feels ideal to you. He doesn't call a meeting to re... Read More

The Middle is Where it Matters Most
by Ministry Support on October 17th, 2025
“Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life” – Psalm 138:7 It’s easy to trust God when something begins. New beginnings feel exciting and full of promise. It’s also not too hard to trust Him at the end, when everything has worked out and you can see how it all came together. But what about the middle? The middle is where your faith gets tested. It’s where things take longer than y... Read More

Will You Move with Him?
by Ministry Support on October 11th, 2025
"But as for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good" - Genesis 50:20 Every time God does something new, He calls someone to move. That move may not always be geographic, but it is always spiritual. It is a shift of mindset, a step of obedience, a break from comfort, and a stretch into faith. The question is not whether God is working. He always is. The question is, will you move ... Read More

New Methods, Same Mission
by Ministry Support on October 9th, 2025
“What God has made clean, do not call common” – Acts 10:15 The entire tenth chapter of Acts tells the story of two very different men. Peter, a Jewish follower of Jesus, and Cornelius, a Roman centurion. One man was raised under strict tradition and religious law. The other was seen by Peter’s people as an outsider and an enemy. But in this powerful moment, God stepped in and shattered every human... Read More

The Blessing of Revelation
by Ministry Support on October 5th, 2025
"Making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ" - Ephesians 1:9 When you think of blessings from God, revelation might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But Paul wants you to understand that one of the greatest gifts you’ve been given in Christ is the ability to see. To see what? To see the will of God for your life. To see with clarity... Read More

In the Middle of the Mess
by Ministry Support on September 23rd, 2025
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” – Romans 8:28 The Bible is full of examples. Abraham was old, Joseph was abused, Moses stuttered, Rahab had a sinful past, David failed morally, Elijah battled despair, and Paul struggled with poor health. None of them had flawless circumstances, but all of them were used... Read More

“But Moses said to the Lord, ‘Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent…’ The Lord said to him, ‘What is that in your hand?’ ‘A staff,’ he replied.” – Exodus 4:10, 2 Shamgar’s story in Judges 3 is easy to miss, but it holds a powerful truth. While others in Israel’s history fought with swords, spears, or entire armies, Shamgar defended God’s people with nothing more than an ox goad (a ... Read More

Trust Beyond Yourself
by Ministry Support on September 14th, 2025
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." – Proverbs 3:5 It is natural to rely on what we know, what we can do, and what we can control. We measure situations by our skills, our resources, and our experience. But if we are honest, there are moments in life when what we have simply is not enough. Our abilities have limits, but God’s power does not. Trusting... Read More

Let Your Yes Be Yes

"Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil." – Matthew 5:37 In a world full of empty promises, God calls His people to be different. Words are not meant to be tossed around carelessly. They carry weight, and when we speak, we are accountable for what we say. Being a person who keeps their word is not just about good manners; it is about integrity. When you t... Read More

How to Deal with a Troubled Heart

"Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me." – John 14:1 Jesus spoke the words we see in John 14:1 to His disciples at a time when their world was about to get shaken. He was preparing them for His departure, and they didn’t understand. Their hearts were heavy with fear, uncertainty, and confusion. And in that moment, He didn’t give them a five-step plan. He gave them a p... Read More

"Commit your way to the Lord, trust in him, and he will act." – Psalm 37:5 Most people miss their moment not because they are unqualified, but because they are unwilling. They know what God is stirring in their heart; they feel the pull to step out, to speak up, to do something different, but they delay. They wait for a sign, for conditions to improve, or for someone to give them permission. But o... Read More

When God Seems Silent
by Ministry Support on August 24th, 2025
“Commit your way to the Lord, trust in him, and he will act.” - Psalm 37:5 The book of Esther is unusual. It is the only book in the Bible where God’s name is never mentioned, yet His fingerprints are all over the story. And maybe that is exactly why it hits home. Because let’s be honest, there are seasons in your life when God feels quiet. He is not splitting the sky, lighting bushes on fire, or ... Read More
