Hey Reader! Did you know God has given us each a special gift to serve the church? It's true! Paul tells us in Ephesians 4 about five specific gifts: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. I believe God has called you to do great things for His Kingdom. But it starts with understanding the gifts He's given you and walking in unity with your brothers and sisters in Christ. To fully grasp this, take a moment to dive into the full Ephesians 4 Bible study video HERE. Then, go deeper with the Ephesians Companion Study Guide and pray, asking God to show you which of these five gifts He's placed within you. After the teaching, let's continue the conversation in the comments! I'd love to hear what God is revealing to you through this powerful chapter in Ephesians.

Hey Reader, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the role community plays in spiritual growth, especially in seasons when God is stretching us, calling us forward, and inviting us to grow in ways we didn’t even realize we needed. For the past few years, I’ve been part of an online community that has deeply impacted my life and calling. Every person in that space is a believer, but more than that, they are believers actively responding to God’s call through writing, leadership, business...
Hey Reader, As we prepare to step into February, the month when conversations about love fill the air, I’ve been reflecting on something tender and true: If I could tell my younger self the truth about God’s love, this is what I’d say… God’s love is constant. It wasn’t until I became an adult that I really understood what that meant. I grew up hearing verses like, “He will never leave you nor forsake you,” (Deuteronomy 31:6 ) but if I’m honest, they felt more like memory verses than...
