Did you know that Jesus gave a powerful promise to those who overcome? Overcome what? You may be asking. Those who overcome live in this world but are not shaped by it. They are not perfect, but they refuse to give up. They choose to follow Christ even when it is difficult; even when the world is […]
Every day, moments and opportunities arise where something new gains access to your life. This might be people, experiences, thoughts, or feelings. Some arrive gently, bringing peace and joy. Others force their way in, bringing confusion, pain, or worry. Take a moment to ask yourself: What has entered your life? Has fatigue made even the […]

In relationships, conflicts often escalate not because of what happened, but because one […]
