In these posts, I share insights and tips from the Bible and my own relationship with Jesus to help you practically apply God’s Word to relevant issues in the world and situations in your life. The goal is to help you develop a relationship with Jesus that’s deep, personal and tangible.
*For more context to this conversation around God's design for government and Christian participation in politics, I encourage you to read my blog series How Should Christians Engage Faith and Politics. What if in this politically intense and uncertain season God wants to form in His people a practice of praying for our government leaders and for our nation?…
Throughout this series we’ve processed the outline of events leading up to the return of Christ and the moment He finally comes back to rapture His Church. In the final blog of this series, we’ll chat about what happens to the world after Jesus comes back and why Heaven might not be exactly what you think. Following the rapture…
*In Part 5 we'll debunk some myths about what Heaven is like and what we'll do there. Head HERE to read. You’ve probably seen a version of the rapture dramatized in Christian fiction novels or movies like the Left Behind series. You know the drill: Christians suddenly snatched away, apparently leaving their clothes behind (yikes!), disappearing from earth, cars left…
In Part 4 we'll talk about the different views on the timing of the rapture and which one I believe most lines up with the Bible. Head HERE to read.

My favorite meme right now is the one that says, “me looking outside trying to see what chapter of Revelation we’re doing today.” :-) It’s a welcomed dose of humor in this time of…
“Blessed” is one of those church phrases that gets thrown around a lot, but sometimes we as Christians aren’t exactly sure what it means. Since the song, “The Blessing,” by Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes and Elevation Worship has gained traction in the Church, it’s inspired me to revisit what the Bible says about the topic of blessing. What Are God’s…
I had the opportunity to see an advance screening of this film, and can I just say that I haven't been this excited about a faith-based movie in a long time?! I Still Believe is the biopic of Christian artist Jeremy Camp, and is inspired by his hit song of the same title. The film depicts the beautiful love…

We all go through things every day that weigh on our hearts. Grieving the loss of a loved one, an opportunity, or a dream. Making a huge decision. Change. Financial struggles. Dry seasons in our walk with God. Emotional pain. Strife in cherished relationships. You name it. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a “huge issue” in order to cause…
