Humility and honor are deeply connected in the Kingdom of God. To understand why God honors humility, we must first ask an important question: What does it mean to honor? In today’s culture, honor has been greatly diminished. We see widespread disrespect toward parents, leaders, and authority figures of all kinds. Sadly, this spirit of dishonor often extends even to our Father God. To honor means to hold in high esteem . I was taught that honor is respect. As a Veteran, we we

Scripture: Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV) As I lay here thinking about everything I’m walking through, I could easily slip into a rabbit hole trying to figure it all out in my own strength. But instead, I heard a song rise up in my spirit: “Counting My Blessings” by Steph Schlueter. I played it… and then played it again… and again. As the words washed over me, I began to remember just how faithfu

Tick!!! Tick!! Tick!!!! There are days when the weight feels unbearable when you want to fall on your face and weep because you feel rejected, used, or deeply wounded. These emotions are very real. Our feelings can rise and fall like a roller coaster, changing from moment to moment. Yet Scripture gently reminds us not to anchor our lives in what we feel, but in who God is. In seasons of brokenness, stability is found in the presence of our Lord and Savior. When you call on Hi

During my season of reset, I found myself asking the Lord some deeply honest questions. One of them required me to pause and when I answered truthfully, my response was a quiet but sobering no. If I’m being completely transparent, there were areas where I felt indifferent. I didn’t feel strongly one way or another. Yet the Lord gently showed me that indifference toward sin cannot coexist with wholehearted discipleship. To follow Christ fully requires alignment and alignment i

My missions trip to New Zealand was absolutely incredible. God moved in such a powerful way over 74 souls gave their lives to Jesus . I was on assignment, and the glory of the Lord met us there. Yet even in the midst of that victory, the sudden loss of my brother still lingered quietly in my heart. Add a few other pressing weights on top of that, and I could feel something shifting in my spirit. I knew the Shepherd was calling me closer. It was time to slow down, breathe, and

While being here in Alabama for my brother’s memorial service, the Lord handed me an unexpected assignment. I came with my heart set on one thing, honoring my brother’s life, but God quietly shifted my focus. It wasn’t a distraction and it wasn’t a setback. It was a divine pivot. Have you ever been locked in on one purpose, only for God to suddenly shift you into something else? You didn’t see it coming, but somehow you knew it was Him. That quick turn wasn’t meant to derail

Scripture: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” — Romans 8:28 (NIV) This past week has been one of the hardest of my life. My brother passed away suddenly, and the loss has been painful and unexpected. There are moments when I sit in silence, still trying to make sense of it. Grief has a way of stopping time. It makes everything else seem small and distant. Yet even in the middle of this

Have you ever gotten tired or weary while waiting for your promise? Being transparent—I have, on many occasions. But here’s what I’ve learned: when you realize weariness is creeping in, you don’t have to stay there. Sometimes, you simply need help. There’s no shame in admitting that. In Exodus 17:12, Moses grew tired holding up his arms during the battle with the Amalekites. But Aaron and Hur came alongside him and held his arms steady until victory was won. God sent help in
