The Foolishness of Wisdom There is a story in 1 Samuel 21:10–15 that tells of David fleeing from Saul into the territory of King Achish. When word spread about who he was, fear overtook him. To preserve his life, he chose to act as though he were mentally unwell. His ruse worked. David behaved in a way that deflected the king’s attention and protected him from certain death. In that moment, he acted wisely. Sometimes a false perception can shield us from danger. But unlike D

A Costly Gift

When the Gift Becomes a Target What do you do when betrayal comes at the cost of your anointing? When those you served alongside, who outwardly praised you as a blessing, secretly despised what God was doing through you. It can be wounding to discover that those you trust “honor” you just enough to gain access, and once they’ve learned your flow, your language, your insight, they discard you. This isn't about imitation as flattery. It’s exploitation. People will go to grea

Knock And See What Will Be Opened To You

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8) This verse graced my heart soon after waking up one morning. I had met a lovely woman who had been wrestling with difficult questions about God. It felt like His loving response to her search for Him. But as with all verses that spring to my heart, it wa

When Empathy Becomes More Harmful Than Helpful

Are You Nursing People's Demons? Empathy is one of the most beautiful gifts we can offer another person. It bridges hearts, softens pain, and reflects the compassion of Christ. But what happens when our empathy which is meant to heal begins to hinder transformation? There’s a fine line between comforting someone through their struggle and comforting them in their bondage. Many of us, in our desire to help, end up nursing wounds that were never meant to be preserved, unknowing

Nothing Can Separate You from the Love of God

Life isn't a smooth journey. For some more than others it's marked by the turbulence of disapointment, failure, and pain. These experiences can leave us with deep soul wounds that remain unheald, and scars that make it hard to forget or move forward. Yet, in the midst of life's trials, when we feel powerless, confused, and broken, there remains one unshakable truth that serves as a beacon of hope, safety, and refuge for the weary and spiritually depleted: Nothing that can se

The Power of Gratitude

I never truly considered the power of gratitude until I looked back over my life. In hindsight, I realized how my attitude and perspective had become a kind of armour-a shield from the despair that could have easily paved a very different path for me. This wasn't a matter of just positive thinking, it was something much deeper. It was discovering the God of grace, the One who guarded me through some of life’s painful experiences. It was because of Him that I came to confident

What Seeds Are You Sowing?

Matthew 13:1-9 “That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach. And he told them many things in parables, saying: ‘A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had n

Staying Faithful When the Game is Rigged

What would be your response when the game is rigged? When you're excelling, hitting all your milestones, but the data is manipulated to distort the score? It's an interesting revelation to know the true story, but the contrived narrative is so much more tantalizing to those who don't want to see you succeed. The need of some to simply use your gifts and abilities to serve themselves and elevate their brand at your expense can be well...telling of how the game of life is often

Called to Unity

The Master of Division “The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy.” (John 10:10) If there’s one tactic the enemy has mastered, it’s division . In the beginning, humanity was in perfect unity with God and each other. The first man and woman walked in harmony with their Creator in the Garden of Eden. But Satan, ever observant and calculated, saw an opportunity to fracture that union. He waited. God was not at the scene, Adam was tending the garden. The woman was alone. H

True Influence

A Voice Silenced The news of a Christian influencer's death struck a chord, not because I knew him personally or fully agreed with all his ideologies, but because God used him as a vessel to speak to America about the risen Christ. We all have unique gifts and abilities that can be used to elevate the name of Jesus. This man's strength was his eloquence and his ability to communicate persuasively. While many would describe him as controversial, it should also be said that he
