×Our world is constantly evolving—AI, tech, and new scientific breakthroughs are reshaping literally everything. With science answering more questions and revealing more facts, faith might seem less relevant. But maybe the facts we uncover are actually pointing us toward something bigger.
When someone you love is hurting, how you respond matters. You want to help, but it's hard to know the "right" thing to say or do. But healing doesn’t come from having the perfect response—it comes from God. He sees the hurt, sits with us in it, and offers a way forward.
Some people seem to have it easy—happiness, a sweet job, a life that just works . Meanwhile, you’re wondering if God forgot about you. But it's actually the opposite. He loves you (yes, YOU) and is writing your story in ways you can’t always see.
Some people just have a gift—a gift for pushing your buttons and making you pray a little extra. So, next time someone tests your patience, consider this: They don’t have the final say in your story. God does. And sometimes, the most complicated people are the ones who change us the most.
So, you're stuck in a mess—a storm of pain, discomfort, conflict—and you want to run. But avoiding the tough stuff only prolongs the struggle. What if the freedom you crave isn’t found in hiding, but in getting real with God and wrestling through things together?
Decisions, decisions—you make thousands of them daily. Some are small, but others? They shape your future. If you've made a bad call (or a few), welcome to the club—just know it's never too late to change course. Lean into biblical wisdom, starting now. Your future self will thank you.
You put your faith in Jesus—now what? He's changed your life and transformed your heart, and now your story has led you to the waters of baptism. Maybe you never saw it coming, or maybe you've been waiting for this moment. So, are you ready to GO get baptized? The step just might change everything.
Ever feel like you're meant for more? As God transforms lives, he calls us to help reach people for him. Jesus told his followers to GO: to bring light, hope, and change to those who need it. You're here for a reason—start now.
Uh oh, your anger is showing. Whether you let it simmer or let it fly, it’s not doing you any favors. But here’s the thing—anger itself isn’t the problem. Jesus felt it, too. The real question is: what are you going to do with it?
A weekend getaway, hitting “add to cart,” the perfect steak—joy, right? But when stress, disappointment, or heartbreak show up, those things just don’t go the distance. What if there was a joy that didn’t run out, no matter what life looks like? It’s possible—you just need to tap into the source.
Sadness can come in waves—big or small, expected or not. You can cry it out or shut it down. Feel it fully or fake a smile. But here's some hope: sadness has a purpose, and God’s never far away. Even in hard times, he’s right there, offering healing and hope when you need it most.
"What if I fail? What if things don't work out? What if..." It's an anxious loop—a soundtrack of worry in your head. And it probably sounds familiar. But you don't have to carry the weight of your worries alone. God's ready and waiting for you to hand it all over and find peace in him.
If you're weary, running on empty, overwhelmed with life—don't rush past this opportunity for rest. You don't have to get your life together first. Jesus came gently and humbly so you could come to him and find peace. And that invitation is open on Christmas and always.
Your notifications are full, but let’s be real—how many of those people show up and stick with you when life gets messy? Great friends are rare, but there’s someone already in your corner, supporting you no matter what. Spoiler: It's Jesus. Don't miss out on the best friend you could ever have.
Jesus didn't come to leave the world the way it was. He came to change things—to disrupt the norm and make a better way. What if we let him do that in our lives, too? Whatever’s holding you back, he can break it down and rebuild something new, something better.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone on your side through the ups and downs of life—helping you put out your fires and cheering you on through every win? It might sound cliché to say, “Jesus is always with you,” but real talk: he is. He’s your advocate, always interceding for you, even when you feel like you have to fend for yourself.…
Sex. Just reading that word can make us squirm a little. It can bring up different thoughts and emotions—from curiosity and excitement to discomfort or even shame. But God's intention for sex was good and purposeful. How could his perspective strengthen your relationships?
Your wedding day was unforgettable. But since then, you’ve likely discovered that marriage is both rewarding and challenging. Every relationship takes work, and conflict is a natural part of the process. The Bible’s advice? Face the small issues together before they grow into bigger ones.
Dating doesn’t have to feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. There’s endless advice out there, but not all of it is helpful. Let’s look at what could make the whole process simpler—maybe you’ve been looking for help (and hope) in the wrong place.
The story of Daniel in the Bible reminds us that, even in uncertain times, we’re not alone—God is ultimately in control. Our role is to live thoughtfully and peacefully in every season, trusting that we’re part of something far greater than we could ever know.
"Daniel in the Lions' Den." Sure, it's a Sunday School classic, but it's not just a good story from your childhood. We all face lions' den moments in life—ones that test our faith and character. Are you confident that God is with you even in your darkest days?
Two kings at their peak. Their empires? Unstoppable. Their confidence? Unshakeable. But it all came crashing down. Why? One simple word: pride. Sounds like a story, but it’s straight from the Bible—and it speaks to us now as much as it did then.
You're battling anxiety. Your relationships are a wreck. You're feeling the pressure of life closing in. You're in the fire…and you're not fireproof. Daniel and his friends faced the fire, too. Their secret? Full trust in God—even if he didn't show up the way they hoped.
This one's for anyone who's felt like the odd one out—who's been pressured to compromise beliefs and become more like the world and people around you. The book of Daniel, chapter 1, lets us know: When the world says, "Bend," you can say, "I'm built to stand."
Sure, you earned it. We like to think our money is ours to control, but discovering true financial freedom might surprise you in the best way possible.
Life's hectic, but we always find time for what truly matters. Step back from the daily grind and try investing your time in things that have eternal value—it could just change everything.
