BEFORE THE FLOOD (BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY 2025)

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

COME TO THE KING (BLOGMAS DAY TWELVE 2025)

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

WITH MY GAZE TURNED EAST (BLOGMAS DAY NINE 2025)

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

EVERY ENCOUNTER, A CHANCE (BLOGMAS DAY EIGHT 2025)

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

WHY GRATITUDE IS A SPIRITUAL DIAGNOSTIC

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

DEATH AS A DARE

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

SOME UNRIGHTEOUS GRAND ASSAULT

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

THE SAFEST PLACE FOR SUFFERING

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

THE SCENT OF A KING

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

A FEW FAVORITES FROM THE MONTH OF JANUARY 2025

Happy February! I’m thrilled to get to share with you our very first monthly favorites post of 2025! January felt like a long month, but it was full of a multitude of excellent content from some of our favorite guest writers. Madie & I are looking forward to an excellent year in which we can discover more of who God is alongside each of you! 2/6/25

NEAR TO THE SHEPHERD

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

A WORLD WITHOUT…

Christmas may be over, but we have been reminded once again of our calling. To be that hope that Jesus showed us how to be. To be joyful in a world so sad. To be the love that people seek. To be the light that can never be dimmed. 12/27/24

THE KING HAS COME

The King has come! We celebrate this Christmas Day for that reason. No longer is our world grey and grim. Now it is bursting with hope and joy because the Light has come into our darkness in the most powerful way! 12/25/24

JESUS, LORD AT THY BIRTH

Jesus, Lord at thy birth. Absolutely. Will you believe it completely and act like it this Christmas? I say yes and amen. Let’s go all in with this Jesus, Christmas, born to save us from our sin, miracle. 12/18/24

THE ART OF OBSERVING, NOT ABSORBING

My challenge for us, as true Believers, is to cultivate the art of observation. Let us intently study our world and the people within it. Let us educate ourselves about worldviews and religions. Let us understand how the enemy is presently deceiving lost souls regarding policies and politics.

A DIFFERENT CLOSENESS

One thing I have realized is that though this is a different closeness than the one I experienced a couple months ago, it is still closeness. Before, it was as though the Lord and I were walking calmly hand in hand, smiling at each other as we both walked into the plan He set up. Now, we’re bent over, head-to-head, our sweat is mingled together, we wear each other’s blood, and I keep asking the same question again and again.

ONE ESCAPE

The aggression of the enemy will never stop. In fact, it will only continue to grow. What we must address is our own passivity in Christ. A lot of us would rather run off a cliff into an abyss of nothing, than go upstream against the world and chase after Jesus and truth.
