  • Serving Without Burnout: Trusting God’s Pace in a Chaotic World

    In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I find myself deeply grateful that God allows me to pour into others. He has given me the privilege to share His love, to offer encouragement, and to stand as a living testimony of His healing power.  After spending much of 2024 sick and limited, I made a quiet promise to…

  • Chief Apostle Arthur T. Jones Sr: A Legacy of Faith

    Today, on his birthday, I want to honor someone whose presence helped lay the foundation of my walk with Christ, my Godfather. He was a Chief Apostle, a spiritual father, and a monumental figure in my formative years. His impact on my life and the lives of so many others is something I carry with…

  • Mission Trip Reflections: God Changed Me

    Over the past couple of weeks, I attended my very first mission trip to South Africa. To say it was life-changing would be an understatement. It was overwhelming, inspiring, faith-building, and humbling all at once. I went with the hope of imparting the gospel into the lives of others, but the truth is it transformed…

  • How Discipline Empowers Believers Against the Enemy

    The Holy Spirit has been dealing with me deeply in this area: discipline. Life lately has felt like a fight. Between work stress, life stress, and pain in my body, it hasn’t been easy. We often talk about attacks from the enemy, and yes, the enemy absolutely wants to hold you back. But here’s the truth…

  • Rise Up in Faith: Taking Action in Troubling Times

    As believers, we place our trust in God. Not because everything around us is stable, but in spite of the instability we see in our country and our world. But trusting God doesn’t mean passivity. It doesn’t mean sitting back and waiting for a supernatural rescue while the world burns. God gave us authority. Dominion.…

  • Finding Purpose Through Daily Surrender

    It’s been a few weeks since my last post. Between the busyness of summer and waiting on the Holy Spirit to reveal what to write next, I found myself in a space of silence. I honestly tried to force a blog post during those quiet weeks, but nothing brought peace to my spirit. And I’ve…

  • Father’s Day Reflection: Honoring Dads Everywhere

    Today, we pause to say Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing fathers and especially to my own. Being a father is, in many ways, a thankless role. You give, you sacrifice, you lead, often without recognition or praise. You carry the weight of your family with quiet strength, bearing responsibilities that many will never fully understand.…

  • Finding Wholeness in Life’s Struggles

    I felt a tug on my heart to be more transparent about my journey. My prayer is that it encourages someone else who might be silently struggling. It was January 2024. I had just moved into a beautiful new apartment. I had a great job, an amazing relationship, and I was starting fresh in my…

  • To the Mothers Who Make the World Go ’Round

    Today, I want to pause and extend my deepest gratitude to mothers across the world, especially my own. Thank you. Thank you for your daily sacrifices, the ones no one sees but everyone benefits from. Thank you for constantly pouring your love into your children, your families, your communities. Thank you for showing up, even…

  • Why I’m Choosing to Heal My Body, Soul, and Spirit—Together

    Since the pandemic, I’ve carried this overwhelming feeling I couldn’t always explain. At first, I thought it was just stress, life being life. And while those things certainly played a role, something deeper was going on. I just didn’t have the language for it at the time. I’ve realized recently that while I’ve been focused…
