I have always thought that I love people well. And maybe by the world’s standards, I do. I love my husband. I love my children. I love my family and friends. In short, I love the people in my life that are easy to love. For the most part, I love them fully without hindrance…

Matthew 8:23-27. Recently, the Lord brought me back to this significant moment in The Gospel of Matthew. Jesus calms a furious storm. The waves are sweeping over the boat, and the disciples are afraid for their lives, but Jesus intervenes. Immediately, the storm ends; the sea becomes completely still. What an amazing thing to…
What is your initial reaction when you find yourself in one of life’s storms? Our human mindset probably wont ‘naturally’ break out into praise when faced with difficulties.

The fall was an extremely busy season for my family. We moved to another part of the state for my husband to take over a business, bought a house, had our third baby, and started my oldest daughter in school. It was like a sprint to the end of the year, holding out for the…
We spoke last about God’s beautiful invitation to be still in our lives and simply know him. Women, especially, can have a difficult time putting this into practice. Practically, when I’m struggling to be still in God’s presence, I know it’s time to take inventory of my life, especially how I’m spending my time. After…
“Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10 This is a beautiful command from Scripture that should cultivate a soul-deep sense of serenity. When we see God for who He is and are appropriately humbled, a hopeful stillness blossoms—the product of a living faith. In actuality, though, this verse mostly triggers a sense…
This week, Act 2 talks with Amy Schlichter, a biblical trauma lifecoach and a woman on fire for the Lord. Amy shares her story of how God came after her through her father’s life-changing accident. Her story shows us how God will truly leave the 99 to come after the 1 sheep! Want to connect…
Encountering God is the desire of every believer, and even unbeliever, although they may not realize it. A wrestle with Him, gold lettering on a wall, a separation of waters to walk through; these examples from the Word make rubbing shoulders with God seem far off, distant, something designed only for a special forces type…
