Sometimes we gotta add a little fuel to the fire, ya know? It’s true when building an actual fire in a fireplace (unless you have gas logs like we do), it’s true in marriage, and it’s true in our relationship with God. It’s Monday, y’all. Let’s decide today how we are going to fuel our faith this week…

It’s easy to confuse productivity with fruitfulness. While, in truth, on our own, we can be incredibly busy yet not fruitful.

I’m not fantastic at remembering things. I remember plenty of useless things (like every word to the Saved By the Bell and Fresh Prince theme songs). Because of this, I have to help myself remember things that matter. Recently for my 38th birthday, I set aside some time to do some remembering and I think you’ll relate to my experience. Here’s what happened…

I’m officially breaking the “word for the year” rule. (Dramatic much? Haha!) I want to love and embrace this practice, but it just hasn’t historically worked for me. So, here’s what I’m doing instead…

What if instead of talking about when we ‘return to normal’ we start talking about how we can ‘return to better? If we are willing to, we can intentionally create our new normal. We can “return to better.” How? I’m still in the thick of figuring it out, but I’m starting with these 3 questions:

To those who have been pushing through, getting up early and still at it long after dark, I have a few questions for you (and for me). And..I want to give you something: a chapter from my book on REST (a timely message)…

There are tons of resources and conversations circulating online and on social media, so I’m not going to preach a sermon here. BUT - I thought I’d share the FIVE reminders I’m preaching to myself! Plus…I’ve assembled some great go-to’s for you (books, podcasts, etc.).

This photo represents a night that 100% landed on the highlight reel of my life - but there was another storyline just as alive and real for me, running parallel with the celebrating and excitement: I was in the full-on grasp of postpartum depression. Friends, Joy, and struggle can coexist. And honestly, they often do for those of us who are Christ-followers. This truth changed my life, and here’s how….

Call me cheesy, but I kinda think Mondays are special: not only is the day new, but the whole week is new. It doesn’t take much to realize each of the 168 hours are overflowing with potential and opportunity; even the mundane can be full of purpose when surrendered. So, on the best of my Mondays, I start with this simple prayer guide….

Let’s be CELEBRATORS instead of critics. The world has plenty of critics. Don’t you think? Our words (and thoughts) in unscripted moments tell the true story of our hearts. We don’t just need a change in conversation, we need a change in our hearts. A genuine concern for Christ breeds genuine concern for people, and when our hearts are fixed on Christ and are intent on loving people, it will be reflected in our words and in our lives. #wearecelebrators

Sometime ago, my life ran out of space to the point I felt like I couldn’t breathe, and it took me a long time to realize I wasn’t alone. Living without whitespace for extended periods of time is a fast-track to burnout. So, why don’t we see it? I think we’ve believed some serious myths, and they’re blinding us. Here’s some tips for self-reflection and gut-level honesty […]

I’ve spent many of the dinners of my almost-eight-years of parenthood just trying to survive, counting “dinner” actually happening - with real food for us to eat - as the greatest win. Last year, I realized we were missing an opportunity at dinner, and this simple tweak has changed everything!

I kissed new year’s resolutions goodbye a long time ago (and I think you should do the same)! For the last few years, I’ve been on a journey of upping the intentionality in my life because I’m simply unwilling to leave things of such great importance to chance, and I think I’m finally finding my sweet spot.

I think invisible ink and God have a lot in common. And if you've ever felt God to be absent, forgetful, silent, or just out of reach, I bet you'll agree. But, there’s hope here. Plenty of it, in fact.
