Hey there, Reader! As we come close to the end of our study in the book of Nehemiah, I want to draw your attention to a powerful lesson from Nehemiah Chapter 12 - the importance of worship in the rebuilding process. In today's video teaching, we unpack how Nehemiah establishes a standard of worship for the holy people. Holy people worship. They express their thanksgiving through worship and dedicate themselves to the God who helps them complete the work He calls them to. Worship and the completion of God's work go hand in hand. When God does something great in our lives or brings something to completion, we are to worship Him. All through the process, we worship, because that is what we were created to do. I encourage you to watch the full teaching on Nehemiah Chapter 12 and continue the conversation in the comments. And if you haven't already, be sure to download the companion study guide to enhance your personal study time! Remember, you are part of a holy history, whether you are continuing it or just beginning. Let's dedicate ourselves to carrying His presence and worshipping Him every step of the way.

Hey Reader, “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength.” —Isaiah 30:15 Last weekend reminded me of something sacred. Something I pray you’ll experience too. Last weekend reminded me of something sacred—something I pray you’ll experience too. I had the honor of hosting the Prayer-Filled Retreat, and as I watched women pause, breathe, and simply be with God, I saw something powerful begin to unfold: He filled them. Not because they had it all...
Hey Reader, October might just be my favorite month. The leaves are changing, fall flavors are everywhere, and it’s full of cozy vibes. But for me, it’s extra special because it holds two of my favorite dates: my anniversary and my birthday. This week, Willie and I celebrate 14 years of marriage. Yes, fourteen. That’s more than a decade of love, laughter, tears, apologies, inside jokes, “What do you want for dinner?” debates, and learning that somehow socks still don’t walk themselves to the...
