This solidified my need to work out the question: What kind of parents raise a Mary or a Joseph? What kind of father was Noah that his sons (and their wives) followed his “crazy” vision from God to build a massive boat? 12/22/25
Happy Sunday, everyone! We are so grateful you are here, reading and interacting with our Blogmas posts. Enjoy this Christmas hymn, written by Rend Collective! We sang it in church this morning and it was encouragement to us. We hope it is also an encouragement to you this evening. 12/21/25
As we made our way through the Ark, there were various rooms full of biblical and historical facts which presented boldly and clearly the truth about God’s cleansing of the world. However, there was one spot that stood out to me the most. Let me tell you that after walking through it and seeing all of the depictions… It seemed too familiar. 12/20/25
I’ll confess that the older I’ve become, the more grateful I am for Amazon. Online purchasing is a lot easier and less stressful than making the annual pilgrimage to all the stores. However, my goal in this short little article is to have you, the reader, consider your preparedness, not for Christmas, but for the second coming of Christ. 12/19/25
You see, a father was silenced, but a nation was saved. A priest doubted, but a prophet was raised. Perhaps God’s discipline was never about punishment, but rather formation. Perhaps Zechariah’s silence was not the end of his voice, but the ultimate refining of it. 12/18/25
Two years ago, Vic, my husband went to be with Jesus. Over the last 2 years, I have been faced with lots of choices to make by myself. I have quickly learned that to walk victoriously in my life with Christ Jesus, my choices must be based on the Word of God. 12/17/25
If our own Savior, the Creator of all things, the ultimate Divine power of the world, deemed victory through and over death the ultimate plan of redemption, should we not also throw ourselves headlong into battle? 12/16/25
Reclamation requires us to turn away from worldly things and focus on inward things; to recollect the past and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in discovering the good there that can be used for our healing. At the heart of our reclamation is a return to our soul’s relationship with God as our maker, and as the keeper of our past, present, and future. 12/15/25
Happy Sunday! We are so enjoying Blogmas and pray y’all are as well! Enjoy this rich and meaningful poem by G. K. Chesterton today. 12/14/25
Instead of settling for what is quick and convenient, how about we take our time, and remember that maybe “a drive thru” kind of Christmas will never truly satisfy the longings we all have. 12/13/25
You see, when we decide to come to the King Jesus, the one true King, there will be Herods that rise up within us and around us. Things that you may not picture as your King, but you have personally placed them on the thrones of your life. And they will do anything to retain their position; they will muster up every weapon they have and try to defeat you coming to King Jesus. 12/12/25
Mohr allowed suffering to produce something beautiful and eternal, and so can we. He quieted his soul and rooted himself in the eternal, lasting hope of Christmas and Christ’s coming. Not only was his little village of Oberndorf changed that Christmas, but the rest of the world was too. 12/11/25
As my mind lingered on that wondrous night long ago in a Bethlehem stable, the image of the swaddled baby resting in a manger stayed with me. He was just here. Nothing else mattered in that moment. Instead of doing a bunch of things you think will bring about blessings and Christmas-y feelings, the reality is blessings and miracles already surround us. Jesus is already here. He’s in you and me, always. 12/10/25
Sometimes, I wonder where that anticipation went. I know that as children, everything always feels longer, and our patience is so slightly developed we fear waiting will simply do us in. But I feel as though this anticipation should still be our friend around this time of year. 12/9/25
Brothers and sisters, I also say to you, especially during this Christmas season, every encounter you have with another person, family, friend, co-worker, stranger, is a chance to improve their quality of life. You have the Good News; the simple Gospel, that WILL change the course of every person’s life and death. Every encounter is a chance. 12/8/25
The question before us, then, is what would honor the men of that day? What would those that gave their last full measure of devotion to this great nation think about our country today and what we have done with their willing sacrifice? 12/7/25
Scott has accepted Jesus, and I praise the Lord for that because if it wasn’t for Scott being a dead man walking and dying to himself and accepting Jesus, my life would be very different. I’d be a dead man walking; walking a mile straight to Hell. 12/6/25
I mean really. This is not sitting in a warm cabin in front of the fire. These are the 3rd shift working guys. They're outside, in the field, watching a bunch of dirty sheep. There's no pomp and stature here man. These are the guys getting the job done in a less than inviting environment. And here comes the first noel. 12/5/25
So today, on December 4th, I’m choosing to simply sit with the Lion who weeps, and perhaps that’s what you need, too. Not someone to fix it. Not someone to explain it. Just Someone who knows. Someone who says, “My child, I know.” 12/4/25
As this Christmas season approaches, I want to challenge you to do more than simply go through the motions—attending church services, joining Bible studies, or listening to the classic Christmas songs without truly reflecting on their meaning. Really dig into your Bible; read it, study it, and seek to truly understand it. Pray for the strength to completely surrender whatever is weighing you down. 12/3/25
We must ensure that evil can never be birthed merely by our inaction. For inaction is what darkness craves most. A people easily conquered are a people plagued by indecision and lack of conviction. As you set out to celebrate Christmas, understand that every decision you make has the power to expand or shrink the darkness around you. 12/2/25
The Lord used those two tiny classrooms to remind me of the greatness of God and how this Christmas time is not to be neglected or wasted, and I hope I am able to relay that reminder to you as well, dear reader. 12/1/25
Gratitude is more than a warm feeling you cultivate during Thanksgiving week. It’s spiritual warfare against idolatry. It’s a declaration of who you belong to. And it’s one of the clearest mirrors you have for seeing who you are really worshiping. 11/20/25
Once again, I will be joined by my friends and family in bringing Christmas into our hearts, one reader and one day at a time. I invite you to join us as we write a new blog post every day in December, for the annual online event we like to call Blogmas. 11/13/25
Happy November! It’s safe to say October was one for the books! From new podcast conversations to special life moments, this past month was full of reminders of God’s faithfulness. 11/6/25
The world cannot and will not be made holy until the Church is, and I am going to be bold and state the obvious: The Church has invited desecration in and is unwilling to part with it at the moment, which is making her unholy and largely ineffective. 10/23/25
Over the past month, death has been a prominent topic of consideration in my life. When Charlie Kirk was assassinated, the grief and inspiration I felt mingled together within me was nothing short of indescribable. While his death was tragic, it held with it a question. 10/16/25
So, even amidst such evil and this unrighteous grand assault, we are witnessing incredible growth as the Gospel is being preached more boldly and more clearly than it has been in quite some time. Of course, any logical thinker is then forced to ask the simple question, “Why?” 10/9/25
Happy October! September was a month marked by both grief and resolve. Much of our time was spent reflecting on the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk, and considering what his leadership and the mission of Turning Point USA means for Christians and for the American Republic in this hour. 10/2/25
Although Charlie’s death has shaken us, it has also called us to clarity. If you and I lose sight of these truths, we lose more than a person. We risk losing our witness, our courage, and our mission. 9/25/25
I looked up to Charlie in many ways. The way he loved his country, how he spoke with love and compassion, how brilliant he was, how he loved his wife, and how he stood for his faith. The list could go on and on. He had this sort of high intensity that I desire to have in my life. 9/18/25
Happy September! August flew by, but it left us with some powerful reminders of how the Lord is at work in and through His people. Each week here at The Few, we dug into conversations that stirred our hearts, stretched our faith, and pointed us back to Jesus. 9/4/25
Still, his words wouldn't leave me. It is good to remain single, as I am. And then, something unexpected happened — I decided to take Paul at his word. What if our singleness is an advantage? 8/21/25
Jesus isn’t asking you to do more, friend. Rest isn’t a sin, and I know there’s someone out there who needs to hear that just as much as I do. Fight the urge to always do more, you don’t have to constantly ask yourself if you’ve worked hard enough to rest. 8/14/25
Happy August! From celebrating a big podcast milestone (shoutout to our 20.5K+ downloads! 🎉) to tackling some deeper questions about spiritual fear, purpose, and obedience, July was anything but boring. 8/7/25
Jesus replaces all the tasks I think I have to get to with one simple duty. My job is to be attentive to His voice at every moment. He will show me what it is I need to do in each moment, not the next thousand moments. 7/31/25
How many of us believe we have built a gothic cathedral of our opinions and personal preferences, only for it to be revealed when we look with humility that what we have built is nothing but a steel vault, closed off to anything which may bring light to our souls? 7/24/25
What started as a small passion project between two sisters has turned into a space for real conversations, bold faith, and a growing community of individuals who want to use their influence for the Kingdom. To celebrate this massive milestone, we’re throwing a GIVEAWAY! 7/11/25
Happy July! June was a powerful month here at The Few—full of bold conversations, honest reflections, and a deeper call to revival. As we head into summer, we’re taking a moment to look back at what God did through the content we shared this past month. 7/10/25
So, after my own re-surrendering, I feel the need to remind you that you can’t do this on your own. It only results in more stress and anxiety. You’re trying to dig deeper, and no one has told you that you’ve been throwing the dirt back in the whole time. You’re getting nowhere. 7/4/25
While camp meeting is still a place where God moves in phenomenal ways; I wonder why we don’t see the commitment to, and the results from it, like the old saints have told me stories about. My contention would be that we don't really want what God usually brings along with such commitment. 6/27/25
There’s not much worse than hearing pretty Christian clichés and reading feel-good posts that everything is going to be alright and that you’re doing a great job when you’re currently in the fire being refined. I write this to you today because nothing has brought me more hope and inspired me to be all the more faithful than the fact that Jesus Himself is the safest place for my suffering. 6/19/25
We don’t need more entertainment or surface-level spirituality. We’re hungry for something real, for something that matters. What if we became the generation that chased after Jesus so fiercely that revival became our reality? 6/12/25
Happy June! The month of May felt like a beautiful blend of deep conversations, creative rhythms, and little reminders of why we started The Few in the first place. From celebrating five years of podcasting and six years of blogging (what?!), to answering rapid-fire questions about faith, sin, and spiritual honesty, this month pushed us to think more intentionally, and to reflect on all that the Lord is doing within our lives. 6/5/25
At first, Eustace, who was indeed prideful, yet incredibly insecure in his human nature, was relieved to find that he had been turned into the biggest, most dangerous creature around, until he realizes that this creature he has become cuts him off from humanity. It cuts him off from the human he is supposed to become. 5/29/25
In order for us to win the mind game, we must live in the Lord’s presence. I can confidently write that every time I have been in the presence of Jesus, I have never felt overwhelmed with fear and anxiety because His perfect love casts out all of my fear (1 John 4:18). 5/22/25
Happy May! I know we are half-way through the month of May now, but we had some excellent content in the month of April that I want to remind you about or maybe even bring to your attention if you missed it! 5/15/25
But what do we do when we still don’t have answers? What do we do when we still want to hear His voice, but it feels like we’re being stonewalled? These were the exact questions I was contemplating while doing a mundane task and listening to an online conference I had missed when it originally came out. 5/8/25
In this special anniversary episode, we reflect on how the blog as well as A Few Minutes With The Few began, the behind-the-scenes growth we’ve experienced, and what God has taught us over the past six years of blogging and five years of podcasting. 5/2/25
If you’ve been following us here on the blog, you know we’re passionate about encouraging Christians, and specifically Gen-Z believers, to live fully awake to their purpose in Christ. One incredibly important way we do that is by bringing the truth right to your headphones. 4/24/25

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-vus62-19d2f37 In this episode, we’re breaking down a quiet lie many Christians accidentally live by: the idea that there are “levels” of godliness.

I know some of us still feel as if we are broken in a million pieces at His feet. We’re left wondering what’s next? How does this whole “Jesus thing” impact tomorrow, even? For just a second, I would like to focus our attention on one simple phrase that has done nothing less than change the world because it is secured in an undeniable fact. I just want you to know that this changed my life. 4/20/25
If Jesus has taught me anything, He has taught me that what is right is always worth believing in, and there is now no one else who will recognize that our belief in Him is infinitely more important than our belief in ourselves, whose perverted justice condemns what is holy and good. 4/19/25
So this Good Friday thing, this cross thing, it doesn't come with terms you get to negotiate. He wants to be Lord of everything in your life. Your family, marriage, work, money, who your friends are, what you do on vacation. Everything. 4/18/25
Let your heart be broken open to Jesus, through the pain. Let Him break down every instinct to self-protect. Go to the garden of your own Gethsemane, get on your knees, stay awake, and pray. 4/17/25
And so now I must sit humbly at the foot of the cross, marveling at the fact Jesus’ blood runs for me. That while my kiss still stings the skin of His cheeks, his arms remain spread wide. 4/16/25
Jesus knew that bringing peace between man and God would be no small matter, but would be a matter that would require the ultimate sacrifice of His life. He was willing to do whatever needed to be done in order to make a way for me and you to have a relationship with Him, even if it was dangerous, uncomfortable, and caused division. 4/15/25
Can you just imagine the thoughts of the priests in the temple as Jesus throws over the money changing tables or the guards who arrest Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane? What about those who cast lots for his robe? Would they have caught a whiff of the perfume and got a sinking feeling, wondering who this man really was? 4/14/25

Happy April! The month of March was both exciting and sort of a whirlwind for us. We recorded some really fun podcast episodes, one being “Practical Advice For The Girl Who Has To Get A Job/Choose A Career But Has Only Ever Wanted To Be A Wife & Mom” which y’all really enjoyed listening to, and we prepped for an outreach/revival event that took place last week! 4/10/25
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-tnetj-1869249 Are the American people beginning to expect righteousness to guide our country as well as the American Church again?

If there’s anything you take from this story let it be this… Jesus is so worth the risks. Everything we’ve ever needed He is. Too many of us are playing it safe when Jesus is saying, “Come on, try me. All that’s necessary is faith without a ceiling.” 3/27/25

Just this morning, I was reading about the eight qualities of leadership Sanders believes are essential for the Christian life, which I found to be incredibly challenging and impactful.

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-5npy9-1848da4 Do you ever feel like you have experienced so much in your Christian walk that you're not sure if there's anything new for you to discover?

Bill was a living, breathing example of exactly how Jesus wants us all to live. He would want his life to show us exactly that. He would always pray for the Lord to use him however He wanted. I believe that prayer has been answered; I know it has been in my life. 3/13/25

Happy March! Our February was quite an adventure. It was a busy month of school for Madie and I, and we have been incredibly thankful for a small break this week in between school sessions! It is hard to believe we are beginning the journey of Lent this week, and that Spring feels as though it is just about to bring a warm and inviting welcome! 3/6/25
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-7kczg-18279be Have you ever wondered if maybe we are oversimplifying this whole "Jesus thing"? Perhaps in an attempt to make things simple, we have made them much more complicated than the Lord ever intended for them to be. That's what we want to invite you to contemplate with us in this episode. Building boats may... Continue Reading →
What I have learned these past months is that the Lord respects holy grit. He respects a pursuit of answers, even if He may not be ready to give them yet. 2/27/25

But, I was thinking afterward, “How did Hannah give up this son that she so desperately desired?” Of course she wanted her son for herself, but she wanted her son for God’s glory even more! She wanted a child who would serve the LORD, glorify Him, and further His Kingdom. 2/20/25

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-z6njh-17f2702 Are you enjoying the simplicity of Christianity and of a Christian lifestyle? More times than not, we are tempted to overcomplicate this Jesus thing because we desire to be in control and in charge of our own lives. That's not the way the Lord intended for us to function, however. Perhaps there is freedom... Continue Reading →

It is obvious the Shepherd doesn’t beat His sheep into following Him, but do we meditate on the truths of who He is that sadly may not be as obvious to us whenever we might fall into forgetfulness? 1/30/25

Here is my question. Why is it that the first place we should go for any answer (hope) to any of our questions or situations, is typically our last? I often believe that I know enough, am smart enough, or can get through anything by myself. But like most of you, if we are going to be transparent, when I get to the end of my rope, THAT is when I seek the Lord! 1/23/25

I believe that continuing to see ourselves as sinners after we are saved is wrong, and that wrong view of ourselves has a hugely negative impact on our growth as Christians. It keeps us right where the enemy wants us; not living in the fullness of Christ! 1/16/25

Happy January and happy New Year! This is our very first post of 2025 and I am so looking forward to seeing how the Lord is going to move in our lives this year! December was one of the best months here at The Few, as we posted a new post every day in December for Blogmas, and multiple new podcast episodes over on our show, A Few Minutes With The Few! 1/2/25
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-ebg9s-1792259 What attitude are you starting 2025 with? In our first episode of 2025, we are discussing mankind's tendency to be ruler of our own lives, and how we refuse to see that we are weak and unable to thrive in our own power.
