Creating Gentle Rhythms With God
Hello dear friend, Welcome to July. We have officially crossed the halfway point of the year, and I always find that this time invites a different kind of reflection. At the beginning of the year, we tend to think about plans, goals, and all the things we hope to accomplish. By the middle of the … Continue reading July Newsletter: Faithfulness in the Middle of the Journey
We often hear people say, "Just believe in yourself." While there is certainly value in recognising the gifts and abilities God has given us, as Christians our confidence was never meant to rest primarily in ourselves. Our strength has limits. Our wisdom is imperfect. Our emotions can change from one day to the next. The … Continue reading Confidence vs. Godfidence: Learning to Rely on God, Not Yourself
We live in a time when spiritual advice is everywhere. Open social media and you will find countless voices claiming to offer wisdom, revelation, or truth. Some quote Scripture. Others blend biblical language with ideas from popular culture, self-help, or spirituality. It can become difficult to know what is truly from God and what simply … Continue reading How to Test the Spirits in an Age of Spiritual Confusion

Most of us do not realise how much of our lives now happen through a screen. We wake up and check our phones. We scroll during breaks. We watch videos while eating dinner. We listen to podcasts while driving. Before we know it, hours have passed and our minds have absorbed far more content than … Continue reading Redeeming Your Screen Time: Creating a Digital Life That Draws You Closer to God
There is something in all of us that wants certainty. We would love for God to hand us a detailed plan for the next six months, explain exactly how things will work out, and reassure us that every decision we make will lead us safely to the destination we have in mind. We want clarity … Continue reading How to Trust God’s Guidance When You Cannot See the Full Picture
Sometimes the loneliest place is not being physically alone. It is being surrounded by people who simply do not understand the things that matter most to you. You may be grateful for your friends, your family, your colleagues, and the people you interact with every day. Yet there can still be a quiet ache when … Continue reading Navigating Spiritual Loneliness When Your Social Circle Does Not Share Your Values
