Hearing the Father’s Voice


Who are you listening to? Who are you seeking your approval from? Are you listening to what the world has to say, or are you listening to the Father’s voice?    There was a time in my walk with the Lord when I didn’t think I was capable of hearing His voice. I didn’t think […]

Theology Matters


“The Church needs to stop focusing so much on theology and more on loving people.” Has anyone heard that before? I know I have. I may have even said that before.    That claim is an easy one to follow, and most of my life I grew up believing it with little to no thought […]

Finding Joy in Christ


Today, we hear so much about “what makes you happy.” The world pushes on us that what makes us feel good is good. We are told that we are meant to be happy and that we should do anything to obtain that happiness. So, we pursue anything to fill the void in our hearts. Hoping […]

The Weight of Words


Lately, I’ve been thinking about the power of words. How often do we say meaningless things? How often do we speak just to fill space? How many times do we joke at the expense of the people around us? Frankly, I think we do these things more than we realize. And we likely, just as […]

Perfect Peace


I recently read a journal entry from a time I went through pain, uncertainty, and stress. As I reflected on this, I began recognizing the effect of low-level anxiety on our relationship with God. It seems in my life there is a correlation between times when I give into anxiety and a patch of spiritual […]

Beyond A Doubt


Doubt; It captivates our minds and our thoughts and holds them hostage. It shreds reason and tears down cornerstones. It replaces assurance with unsteadiness. As a young believer, I felt sure in my faith, and where I stood. However, little did I know my instability. When I was 15, my entire world collapsed around me. […]

The Value of Intentionality


Intentionality. A word I have heard thrown around countless times, so much so that it started to lose all meaning to me. After all, TeenPact is a ministry built largely on the concept of intentionality. I think I speak for almost everyone reading this when I say that I can recall multiple specific times when […]

Servanthood


What is the role of a servant? It is pretty straightforward. Their job is to serve.   This seems obvious, yet it also seems to be something that we, as believers, struggle to grasp.   For a long time, when I gave up my time to serve in an outreach ministry or church fellowship, I […]

Seeking Relationship


It started when I had the opportunity to present a devotional on a TeenPact class. As I prayed about what to share, I knew that the Lord wanted me to talk about having relationship with the Father by simply being in the presence of the Lord. Working to prepare for the devo, I spent less […]

Love Changes Everything


How do you love genuinely in a world that portrays love completely different from the Bible?    Love is imperative to one’s walk with Christ. In 1 Corinthians 13, the Bible goes as far as to say everything done without love is worthless. This strong statement puts into perspective all the interactions we have daily. […]

The Song Called Hope


In an 1861 poem, Emily Dickinson claims hope to be “…the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.” At times in my life, hope has felt pretty elusive. I am not the only one who has felt that kind of despair – […]

Loving A Broken World


It was an ordinary day where I worked at Freddy’s Frozen Custards and Steakburgers. I clocked in on a Sunday afternoon at 4 for my closing shift, which I had done for the past countless weekends. I, along with a couple of my fellow co-workers, always closed on Sundays and loved doing it. But this […]
