Each one of them has played a role that has taught me and grown me as a friend. They're each so different, but bring a strong force to my life in a powerful life-changing way.

When we lean into the way God has called us to live in the context of community, we find that we’re most full, satisfied, and closely able to walk with Him.

We need to have people around us. We have to connect with them because when we don't, our minds aren't well.

The biblical view of marriage is that it's a flawed person married to another flawed person in a fallen world, but with a faithful God. If you don't consider that fact before going into marriage, then you’ll be shocked when that person disappoints you. 

Taking responsibility allows you to choose joy and hope. It doesn’t mean that others shouldn’t have consequences for wrongful actions, but it means you get to live out the truth of the gospel by extending the same forgiveness to others that God has extended towards you.

It’s time to go to war for your faith by fighting the lies you believe.

Doubt is part of our faith, and fighting doubt is important. Faith is not only a matter of believing that God is real. Faith is also about trusting God’s hand in our lives and His plan for us.

“His spirit was still in me because it doesn't just go in and out – I am His. It’s purely His grace that I would lean into that, even when I was resenting and resisting it.” - Bethany Barnard

We’re living in a time where the universal feeling is exhaustion and apathy. Most people are experiencing burnout, and the tendency, desire, and temptation to check out is at an all-time high. How do we find the strength to care when you’re burnt out?

Most people don’t believe in the power of God because we look for logic in faith. Many people are missing out on God's best for them because they're playing it safe.

When we set our desires before God, we build a relationship with Him. This is the difference between trusting and grasping.

I used to believe it was unnecessary to have a five-year plan because I wanted to live open-handed, trust God, and be where He wants me to be. That worked… until it didn’t.
