Jesus didn't say His house would be known for inspiring sermons, exceptional worship music, or engaging programs. He said it would be a house of prayer.
Prayer isn't just one ministry of the church—it is the heartbeat of the church.
Today, pause and ask yourself: “Is this thought leading me closer to Jesus or pulling me away from Him?”
When we surrender our thoughts to Christ, He gently replaces fear with peace, confusion with truth, and heaviness with hope.

God has never asked you to be strong enough for every challenge you face. He simply asks you to lean on Him. We don't have to prove ourselves. We simply have to trust the One who is faithful.
If you're searching for a study that will deepen your prayer life and draw your group closer to the heart of God, I'd love for you to consider Our Father.
To make it even easier, there's a companion video series available on RightNow Media!

This week, while reading through the long lists of names in 1 Chronicles, God reminded me of something I'll never forget:
He knows every single name.
And that means... He knows yours, too. ❤️

My heart is so full after another "Cousins Camp" with our grandchildren.
Never underestimate the power of faithfully loving the children and grandchildren God has entrusted to you. The seeds you plant today may bear fruit for generations.
What if the Lord's Prayer is more than a prayer to memorize?
Whether you study on your own, with a friend, or in a women's Bible study, my prayer is that you'll discover fresh intimacy with God as you journey through these timeless words.
Lord, may my words be pleasing to You—whether I'm speaking from a platform or sitting across the table from one person.
Set a guard over my mouth. Help me speak with kindness instead of criticism, grace instead of frustration, and truth wrapped in love.
If you've been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or spiritually stretched thin, I pray this week's blog encourages you to slow down, meet with Jesus, and create rhythms that will sustain you for the long journey.

“The Lord is good to all; He has compassion on all He has made.” – Psalm 145:9
No part of your life is hidden from God’s compassion.
Even the places you feel are too messy, too broken, or too complicated—He meets you there with kindness, not condemnation.
I’m excited to invite you into a deeper place of prayer with my 6-session RightNow Media series, “Our Father.”
Together we explore the Lord’s Prayer not as repetition, but as relationship—learning to trust God as Father, surrender our will, and depend on Him daily.
Negative self-talk can become so familiar that we mistake it for truth. But friend, those condemning thoughts are not from God.

As we approach Independence Day, we celebrate the gift of freedom we enjoy in this nation—and we give thanks.
But even more, we celebrate the greater freedom we have in Christ.
True freedom is not found in circumstance—it is found in the presence of God.
Fall and winter speaking opportunities are still available, and I would love to connect with churches, women’s ministries, and conferences looking for encouragement and biblical teaching.
If your team is prayerfully planning events, I would be honored to be considered.
As we move toward the celebration of Independence Day, it’s good to pause and remember where true freedom comes from.
Earthly freedom is a gift, but spiritual freedom in Christ is unshakable and eternal.
