More Than Sparrows

(Inspired by Matthew 10:29–31, KJV: “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.”) In the hush before dawn,when the air…
Barnabas: The Quiet Fire of a Son of Consolation

If Paul is the thunder that shakes the sky of the New Testament, Barnabas is the steady fire that keeps the embers glowing. His story doesn’t roar across the pages with shipwrecks and prison epistles, but without him, much of what we admire in the early church might look very different. Barnabas lives in the…
The Powerful Name of Jesus

(Inspired by Philippians 2:9–11) Say “Jesus,”and the noise inside grows quiet.The storm is still there,but it loses its shout.Waves that were climbing too highbegin to remember their boundaries,and my heart,that was running so fast,starts to rest again. Say “Jesus,”and the chains I’ve worn for so longdon’t feel as tight.Guilt loosens its grip,old fears slip to…
Where I Last Saw the Light

When the old ache rises like a black tide,and voices of doubt snarl in the dark,when the path turns braille beneath your feet,and every prayer feels like a door unlatched to storm— turn back to the seam where mercy tore the night.Find the hush where Scripture warmed your hands,the lantern of one remembered promise,the quiet…
Whispers & Warfare

Scripture Focus: 2 Corinthians 10:5 “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” The line between good and evil doesn’t run through your neighbor’s behavior, your family’s quirks, your coworker’s attitude, or the random person online with…
When God Stops You in Your Tracks

There are moments in a believer’s journey when God doesn’t simply whisper from a distance—He steps right into our path and stops us. Not in anger, but in mercy. Not to shame us, but to save us from the direction we’re heading. Saul’s experience on the Damascus road is one of those rare moments, and…
Finding God in the Valley of Discouragement

“Settle in for this one, friend. It’s a longer read, but I believe it holds something you’ll want to sit with. Go ahead—grab your Bible, a notebook, and a pen. Find a quiet corner, breathe a moment, and let’s walk through this together.” There are days when courage feels like it’s leaking out of us…
Joy on the Other Side of Obedience

Sometimes it isn’t a choice,just a slight leaning—a thought that loosens,a grip that forgets to hold. No thunder,no vision,only the soultilting a fractiontoward yes. Yet in that almost-invisible turning,something shifts its weight—like light changing seatsin a silent room. You walk on,unsure what you surrendered,only awarethat somewhere inside, resistance fell quietand joy,without introduction,took one small stepcloser.…
When Borrowed Footsteps Change You

There’s something humbling about discovering you were wrong about someone—not because they corrected you, but because life quietly handed you a glimpse of their reality. It’s easy to observe people from the outside and think we’ve got them figured out. We see the surface: the expression, the reaction, the habit that frustrates us, the tone…
When the Mind Learns to Breathe

There is a hushthat sometimes risesfrom the corners of the soul—a soft rearranging,like furniture shiftingin a room no one remembers entering. Thoughts flutter there,thin as wings against a window,searching for a skythey do not yet recognize.Some carry old dust,some carry broken echoes,all of them tremblingas if decidingwhether to stayor finally lift. In that stillness,a strange…
