Have you ever felt guilty telling others the word “No”?  Are you constantly worried about what others think of you? You are not alone!  People-pleasing is something that I struggled with for years and is a pretty common issue, especially in the Christian community. The desire to make someone else happy isn’t a problem, but […]

  Any worshippers in the house? If so, this post is for you! It’s also for those who are seeking to have a more intimate encounter with God. It is astonishing to me how sometimes worship music can take you to more of a deeper place with God than even the Sunday morning message. It’s […]

Do you sometimes feel alone? Lost? Forgotten? These are all emotions I’ve experienced on different levels over the past several months. Social distancing, along with working from home since March, has given new meaning to the word lonely for me. However, one of the beautiful things about all the extra alone time I’ve had is […]

Whether you’re a new Christian or you’ve been a believer for many years, it’s likely that you haven’t been taught how to study the Bible. The Bible is the foundation to our Christian faith.
