When Faith Blocks the View
on February 1st, 2026
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” – Matthew 16:24There are moments when something meant to help us see God more clearly actually makes it harder to see Him at all. Jesus talked about this long before crosses were worn around necks or placed on church buildings. When He said, “If anyone would come after me... Read More

The Wall Rose Because the People Did Not Quit
on January 31st, 2026
“So the wall was finished in fifty-two days.” - Nehemiah 6:15 Restoration rarely happens in ideal conditions. Most rebuilding starts while pressure is still present. Fear hasn’t left. Fatigue hasn’t lifted. Problems haven’t magically resolved. Many people assume progress depends on circumstances improving first. Scripture shows something different. Sometimes restoration comes simply because people... Read More

A Mind to Work in the Middle of Weariness
on January 30th, 2026
“The people had a mind to work.” - Nehemiah 4:6 Weariness doesn’t usually announce itself all at once. It creeps in through long days, half-finished progress, and problems that don’t seem to end. At some point, you realize your body is tired, your emotions are thin, and fear is sitting closer than you’d like. In moments like that, continuing the work can feel unreasonable, especially when rest sou... Read More

Building Without Responding to the Mockery
on January 29th, 2026
“So we built the wall, and all the wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.” - Nehemiah 4:6 If you aren’t careful, mockery has a way of pulling you off task. It questions motives. It exaggerates flaws. It tries to bait you into explaining yourself. When you’re rebuilding something meaningful, criticism often comes wrapped in sarcasm instead of substance. The ... Read More

When Opposition Shows Up Mid-Progress
on January 28th, 2026
“When Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became angry and was greatly incensed.” - Nehemiah 4:1 Opposition has a way of showing up at the worst possible time. Not when you were broken. Not when everything was quiet. It comes once you finally start rebuilding. You take a step forward, momentum begins to form, and suddenly, criticism gets louder. Questions turn sharp. Motives get q... Read More

Shutdown Does Not Mean Finished
on January 27th, 2026
“For the vision awaits an appointed time. It hastens to the end. It will not lie.” - Habakkuk 2:3 Shutdowns have a way of messing with your sense of direction. Something you were building slows down or stops altogether. Plans get shelved. Momentum disappears. The quiet that follows feels heavier than the work ever did. When nothing is moving, it’s easy to assume the story must be over, as if delay... Read More

Where Faith and Fear Collide
on January 26th, 2026
“I believe. Help my unbelief.” - Mark 9:24 There are moments when faith and fear exist at the same time, and that tension can feel confusing. You trust God, but worry still shows up. You believe He is good, yet uncertainty keeps tapping you on the shoulder. Many people assume this mixture means something is wrong with their faith, as if belief and fear are not allowed to share the same space. Scri... Read More

Saying What Hurts When God Is in the Room
on January 25th, 2026
“Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.” - Psalm 62:8 Some people learn early to clean up their prayers. You thank God. You stay polite. You avoid the parts that feel messy or angry or confusing. Over time, honesty gets replaced with habit. You still pray, but you leave the sharp edges out. Pain gets translated into something safer, as if God can only handle the filtered version o... Read More

Doubt as a Doorway
on January 24th, 2026
“Do not disbelieve, but believe.” - John 20:27 Doubt usually gets treated like a problem to fix or a threat to avoid. People lower their voices when they talk about it. Questions feel dangerous, like admitting them might undo everything you believe. Many assume that real faith means never wondering, never hesitating, never asking hard questions. Scripture does not support that assumption. Thomas i... Read More

When You Need an Encounter for Yourself
on January 23rd, 2026
“My Lord and my God.” - John 20:28 At some point, borrowed faith starts feeling thin. Believing because your parents believed. Trusting God because your community does. Showing up because that is what you have always done. Those things can carry you for a while, but eventually life asks harder questions. Pain hits. Disappointment lingers. Answers feel distant. Suddenly, you realize you cannot live... Read More

Locked Doors Do Not Stop Jesus
on January 22nd, 2026
“The doors were locked where the disciples were, but Jesus came and stood among them.” - John 20:19 Fear has a way of shrinking the world down to whatever room you can control. After loss or shock, safety starts to matter more than movement. Doors get locked, not just physically but internally. You keep conversations short. You limit expectations. You stay close to what feels familiar because grie... Read More

Keep Showing Up Even When You Are Confused
on January 21st, 2026
“Then he said to Thomas, Put your finger here, and see my hands.” - John 20:27 Confusion has a way of making people disappear. When answers are missing, and clarity feels out of reach, the instinct is to pull back. You stop talking as much. You skip the room where faith conversations happen. Distance feels safer than staying present when you are not sure what you believe anymore. Most people assum... Read More

Faith After Disappointment Still Counts
on January 20th, 2026
“Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.” - Mark 9:24 Disappointment has a way of making faith feel fragile. Something you prayed for did not happen. An outcome you trusted God with went sideways. What follows is not always anger. Often it is confusion mixed with quiet doubt. You still believe, but not with the same ease. Questions linger longer than they used to, and you start wondering if faith that ... Read More

When You Feel the Urge to Go Through God’s Phone
on January 19th, 2026
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” - Proverbs 3:5 Anxiety has a funny way of changing how you relate to God. Trust starts slipping, and suddenly, you want answers right now. You look for signs everywhere. You replay conversations, scan circumstances, and read into silence. Faith feels uncomfortable when you cannot verify what God is doing, so the in... Read More

When the Battle Is Not Actually Yours
on January 18th, 2026
“The battle is the Lord’s.” - 1 Samuel 17:47 Stress has a way of convincing you that everything depends on you. Decisions feel heavier. Outcomes feel personal. Fear creeps in when you start believing that one wrong move could ruin everything. Many people carry pressure they were never meant to carry because they assume every battle in front of them must be fought with their own strength. That assu... Read More

Formed in the Field, Not on the Stage
on January 17th, 2026
“The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear will deliver me.” - 1 Samuel 17:37 Visibility gets most of the attention. People notice the platform, the moment, the result. What they rarely see is the long stretch of quiet that came first. The field is where life feels ordinary and repetitive. Days pass without applause. Progress feels slow. Still, Scripture shows... Read More

Taking Off Armor That Does Not Fit
on January 16th, 2026
“David said to Saul, I cannot go with these, for I have not tested them.” - 1 Samuel 17:39 Most people learn early how to wear what is expected of them. Titles get handed out. Roles settle in. Labels stick. Over time, you start carrying assumptions that never really belonged to you, but you wear them anyway because they seem safer than standing exposed. Expectations can feel like protection, espec... Read More

You Were Trained for This Moment
on January 15th, 2026
“He trains my hands for battle.” - Psalm 144:1 It usually does not feel like training when you are in it. Struggle feels pointless while it is happening. Pressure feels random. Loss feels unfair. Most people look back at hard seasons and label them as wasted time, chapters they would erase if they could. In the middle of those moments, very few think, this is preparing me for something ahead. Thin... Read More
