Sharing Redemption: How Jesus Restores What’s Lost

Redemption is one of the most beautiful and powerful words in the Bible — but what does it actually mean in our daily lives?

At its core, redemption means being bought back, rescued, or restored. It’s what Jesus did for us on the cross. Through His death and resurrection, He paid the price to free us from sin, shame, and spiritual death. But redemption isn’t just about going to heaven someday — it’s about transformation here and now.

Sharing God’s Story: A Perfect Beginning, A Powerful Redemption

From the beginning of time, God has been telling a story—one of beauty, tragedy, rescue, and purpose. It’s not just ancient history; it’s our story. And when we truly understand it, we not only find our place in it but we’re also empowered to share it with others.

God’s story begins in Perfect Creation…

Freedom From Debt: Living Within God’s Design

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2

Debt isn’t just a financial issue—it’s a spiritual one. The Bible doesn’t shy away from addressing it, and neither should we. In a culture that normalizes credit cards, car payments, and “buy now, pay later,” it’s easy to believe debt is just part of life. But God has a better plan.

A Generous Partnership: Joining God in His Work

We often talk about giving as though it’s transactional: we give back a portion of what God has given us. But that’s not entirely accurate. The truth is: we don’t own anything. God does.

Psalm 24:1 reminds us: “The earth is the Lord, and everything in it.” We are not owners; rather, we are stewards and managers entrusted with time, talents, treasures, and testimony to serve God’s Kingdom.

And that’s not a burden—it’s a blessing.

Owner vs. Manager: Living With Open Hands

We live in a culture that prizes ownership. Owning your home, your business, your car, your time—these are badges of success. But Jesus invites us into a radically different mindset: you don’t own any of it.

You’re a manager. A steward. And that’s not a downgrade—it’s a divine appointment.

Empty Nest? It’s Time to Rediscover Your God-Given Purpose

Over the past few weeks, something has stirred in my spirit—a gentle but undeniable reminder: we were made for more.

My husband and I have been walking through a new rhythm of life. The kids are grown, the house is quieter, and our daily routines feel different. But rather than retreating into that silence, we’ve leaned into the Lord. We've led small groups at our church, walked alongside a dear friend transitioning back into life after hardship, and spent time recording legacy stories—real testimonies of God’s hand in our lives and others'.

Midlife Awakening: Your Journey Starts Now

There comes a time in midlife when the familiar rhythms begin to fade. The house is quieter. The career that once defined you no longer fills your soul. The kids are grown—or maybe life threw you a curveball through loss, illness, or a change you never expected. And now, you find yourself asking, Who am I now? What am I meant to do next?

Compassion Isn’t Convenient - It’s Christlike

In Luke 10, Jesus is asked a seemingly spiritual question: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” His answer leads us into one of His most powerful parables—the story of the Good Samaritan. But don’t let the familiarity of the tale rob it of its impact. Jesus wasn’t just telling a nice story; He was redefining what it means to live a compassionate life

Every Kind of Mother: A Heartfelt Tribute for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day can stir up a beautiful mix of memories, hopes, and heartaches. For many, it’s a day filled with gratitude, hugs, and family gatherings. But for others, it’s a day that carries quiet grief, longing, or remembrance. No matter how this day finds you, I want you to know this: you are seen, loved, and not forgotten.

This post is a sacred pause to honor every kind of mother—because the depth of a mother’s love is not defined by circumstances, but by the heart behind it.

Hot Water Woes? How We Saved 50% on a Tankless Water Heater (and What You Should Know Before You Buy)

I’ve been a bit MIA lately—life’s been full, fun, and just a little bit crazy! We recently returned from a much-needed vacation (absolutely marvelous, by the way 🙌), and let’s just say, re-entry into “real life” came with a surprise.

Picture this: I step into the shower, ready to start my day, and the water is ice-cold. 😱 Not just a little chilly—cold enough to wake the neighbors.

Later, my husband took a peek in the basement and discovered the culprit: our water heater had sprung a leak.
