Weekend in the Word
|
Hey Reader, These Weekend in the Word emails are just as much for me as they are for you. As I prepare them, they help me reset my heart, quiet the noise, and sit with Jesus in a way the week rarely allows. Lately, I've been thinking about a question I've returned to often, What would I tell my younger self about God's love? This weekend, my answer is simple. I would tell her not to skip the parts of Scripture that feel uncomfortable or confusing, especially the ones that seem intimidating. God's love is woven through every page, even the ones we don't fully understand yet. That thought brings me to what I believe may be one of the most overlooked books of the Bible: the Song of Solomon. Many believers quietly avoid it. Some aren't sure what to do with it. Others assume it's only for married couples. I used to be one of those people. But when I slowed down, asked God for understanding, and read it with fresh eyes, everything changed. This book isn't primarily about romance. It's about identity. It's about what it means to be loved, chosen, pursued, and secure. It's about learning to see ourselves the way God sees us. Scripture tells us that we are the Bride of Christ. That truth applies to every believer, regardless of relationship status. Understanding that identity reshaped how I see myself, how I receive God's love, and how I approach intimacy with Him. Years ago, I read A Bride Makes Herself Ready by Patricia King, and it shifted something deep in me. Being the Bride of Christ isn't symbolic language—it's foundational to how we walk with God. That's why I created a short YouVersion Bible Plan called The Unveiling:Discovering Your True Identity through the Song of Solomon. Reader, more than once people have told me, "I've never heard this book explained that way. Now I actually want to read it." My prayer is that this weekend becomes a turning point for you. A moment where rest, revelation, and identity come together.
P.S. When you're done, I'd love to hear from you. Reply and tell me what stood out. |

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...
Hey Reader, Welcome to our final week of Do Whatever He Says. Over the past two weeks, we’ve watched Jesus move in powerful ways. In Week 1, we saw how simple obedience positioned the servants for a miracle. In Week 2, we were reminded that our role is not to create the miracle, but to faithfully do what Jesus asks and trust Him with the results. Now, in this final week, we pause at the outcome. Keep reading to see what this final moment reveals and how God may be calling you to take your...
