Rejoice - New Christian Toolkit - Luke 10, Hebrews 4

August 18, 2025 • 8 mins
Becoming a Christian is a powerful, life-changing moment—declaring Jesus as Lord, getting baptized, and stepping into a brand-new life. But what comes next can feel overwhelming, especially when the pressure to do can crowd out the joy of simply being His.

A Woman's Answer - Jesus Was Amazed - Matthew 15

August 15, 2025 • 7 mins
Some Bible stories stop you in your tracks—and this one in Matthew 15 is one of them. Jesus's response to a desperate, faithful Gentile woman feels shockingly out of character at first glance, but if we stay with the discomfort, we find a powerful story of persistence, faith, and a boundary-breaking grace.

A Man's Wealth - Jesus Was Amazed - Mark 10

August 14, 2025 • 9 mins
A man runs to Jesus with urgency and sincerity, asking what he must do to inherit eternal life—but the conversation quickly reveals how tightly his heart is wrapped around his wealth. Jesus isn’t amazed here, but He is moved; and in His challenge to surrender everything, we glimpse the deep connection between faith, sacrifice, and trust in God's provision.

A Widow's Gift - Jesus Was Amazed - Mark 12

August 13, 2025 • 8 mins
Before Jesus points out the humble widow’s offering in Mark 12, He tells a parable about tenants rejecting their master’s messengers—and ultimately his son—just like the religious leaders rejected Him. In a chapter full of pride, power plays, and spiritual posturing, it’s the quiet, costly gift of a poor widow that captures Jesus’s attention and reveals what true devotion really looks like.

A Community's Doubt - Jesus Was Amazed - Mark 6

August 12, 2025 • 7 mins
Yesterday we saw Jesus amazed by the faith of a Roman centurion—but today, we see Him amazed for the opposite reason: the unbelief of His own hometown. In Mark 6, those who knew Jesus best couldn’t see past His ordinary background, and their lack of faith closed them off from the miracles waiting to happen.

A Centurian's Faith - Jesus Was Amazed - Luke 7

August 11, 2025 • 7 mins
This week, we’re asking a big question: What amazes Jesus?—and what that reveals about the kind of faith that moves Him. Today, we're looking at the Roman centurion in occupied Capernaum—he had power, status, and wealth—yet the one in Luke chapter 7 came to Jesus with unexpected humility and bold faith.

Mary - Matriarchs - Luke 1

August 8, 2025 • 9 mins
Mary’s story is not just about purity or obedience—it’s about courageous faith in the face of the unknown, and deep trust in a God who works through the humble and overlooked. From Eve’s sorrow to Mary’s “yes,” we see a story of redemption unfolding, where grace meets shame and hope crushes despair.

Bathsheba - Matriarchs - 2 Samuel 11

August 7, 2025 • 7 mins
Bathsheba’s story is often misunderstood, reduced to a tale of temptation, but Scripture shows us a woman caught in a tragic abuse of power—not a scandal of seduction. Her place in Jesus’s lineage is not a mark of shame, but a testament to God's justice, compassion, and ability to redeem even the most painful parts of our stories.

Ruth - Matriarchs - Ruth

August 6, 2025 • 8 mins
Ruth’s story begins with loss and uncertainty, but through her courage, humility, and quiet faith, God weaves redemption into every chapter. The only woman in Jesus’s lineage with a whole book to her name, Ruth shows us that faith often looks like everyday obedience and steadfast love in the face of hardship.

Rahab - Matriarchs - Joshua 2

August 5, 2025 • 7 mins
Rahab is often reduced to a simple “bad girl turned good” story, but her role in Scripture is far more complex and courageous. In a society that offered her few options, she used her position, wisdom, and faith to lean into God’s plan.

This week, we're looking at the women named in Jesus’s genealogy—each one complex, resilient, and often misunderstood. We’re starting with Tamar, whose bold actions in the face of injustice secured not only her survival, but her place in the lineage of Christ.

Full of Grace - All Things Hold Together - Colossians 3-4

August 1, 2025 • 8 mins
We don’t always catch the full context, especially when we’re reading ancient texts through modern eyes. My friend Savannah recently shared a funny church bulletin misprint (link in show notes), and it reminded me how easily we can miss the bigger picture—something Paul’s wrapping up in Colossians by reshaping familiar household norms with the radical love and equality of Christ.

On Things Above - All Things Hold Together - Colossians 3

July 31, 2025 • 9 mins
Have you ever laid back and looked for shapes in the clouds—just letting your imagination run wild? My kids do this now too, and it reminds me of Colossians 3, where Paul encourages us to lift our eyes and hearts, not just to dream, but to intentionally set our minds on what’s above—on the lasting, beautiful reality of life with Christ.

The Fullness of The Deity - All Things Hold Together - Colossians 2

July 30, 2025 • 9 mins
When’s the last time you felt truly full, deep in your soul? This week Paul reminds us that real fullness isn’t found in rules, rituals, or the world’s wisdom, but in Christ alone—who fills us completely and frees us to live by the Spirit, not by striving.

Do you have a good before-and-after story—like a makeover moment that changed how you saw yourself? Reading Colossians this week reminds me that Paul is giving us exactly that kind of picture: who we were before Christ, and who we are now because of Him.

The Gospel of Hope - All Things Hold Together - Colossians 1

July 28, 2025 • 8 mins
Have you ever felt like you truly belonged—like you fit in a way that mattered? As we read Colossians this week, I’m reminded of a small online study group that started out awkwardly but became a place of deep connection, just like Paul reminds the church of their belonging in Christ and His greater kingdom.

Neighbors Let Go of Preconceptions - Good Neighbors - Acts 10

July 25, 2025 • 9 mins
Jesus ate with tax collectors and "sinners." His love goes beyond boundaries and reaches the "least likely," which, when you think about it, is probably you and me too. Where is the Spirit calling you? How is the Spirit calling you to love your neighbors?

Neighbors Make Things Right - Good Neighbors - Luke 19

July 23, 2025 • 8 mins
I saw a hilarious video on Threads about a woman giving away a bed frame—and due to a series of miscommunications, a stranger ended up stealing her neighbor’s entire bed. It made me think about what it means to be a good neighbor. Then I read Luke 19:1–9 and saw how Jesus transformed one of the worst neighbors around: Zacchaeus.
