Hi, friends! The past month or so, I’ve been working diligently on growing my discipline of memorizing Scripture. I’ve been convicted that I don’t rely on God’s Word as the first and foremost weapon of defense like I should. From my days of Scripture memorization in high school, I know this to be a great […]

This past Wednesday, I put together, with much gratitude to Pinterest, a student ministry Olympics. With only having to tell a few students not to throw any middle schoolers in the air during our “Synchronized Swimming” event, I consider the night a success. Before the games began, I shared a short devotional about something God […]

Welcome back, friends! I hope you enjoyed Part 1 of “Leader to Leader.” I genuinely had a blast writing down some of the things I am most passionate about and getting to interact with many of you and discuss the importance of regular “solitude” or “quiet times” or “Bible study” or whatever other Christian-slang you […]

Happy Thursday! Has this week felt so weird to anyone else? I refuse to believe today is actually Thursday, but I have no idea what day it feels like. But since everyone seems to think today is Friday Eve, let’s go with it. It dawned on me the other day that I haven’t posted a fun, lighthearted […]

You’ve made it! I hope the last few weeks have been a blessing and encouragement in your spiritual walk as we’ve talked about who God is, what his Word is, why we should study Scripture, different versions/translations/types of Bibles, and EVERYTHING in between. I am beyond passionate about Scripture as it has completely revitalized my […]

Welcome back, friends! Last week we continued in our discussion of what a healthy, God-honoring, and fruitful Bible study should look like as talked about the necessity of a regular study, ditching the excuses that fill our days, and prioritizing our relationship with God as opposed to the religious assumption that we have to study […]
