Have you ever smelled blooming jasmine? It is enticing and unmistakable. 2 Corinthians 2:15 says, "As far as God is concerned there is a sweet, wholesome fragrance in our lives. It is the fragrance of Christ within us, an aroma to both the saved and the unsaved all around us." Let's grow together in study, stories and prayer. May the fragrance of our faith be like jasmine to those..

What is your trust with God like? Many of us, at one time or another, can feel like that trust has been broken. I can recall distinctly a time when it felt like it shattered violently. I believed I had trusted Him, despite fears, doubts and circumstances, and He had betrayed me. Let's pause a moment today and talk about trust.

On Wednesday February 22 you may randomly see people out and about with black smudges on their foreheads. They didn’t forget to wash in the morning; they are simply beginning a season leading up to Easter known as Lent.
What exactly is Lent? Listen in for a quick explanation, gentle prayer and an opportunity to step into this season of intentionally drawing closer to God for the next 40 days.

Let's be honest - how are you doing lately with reading your bible? We can't find a solution to something we won't admit. The truth is that most of us go through ups and downs in how faithfully we read. And that's okay. Just don't give up entirely. Search, pray and try again. Sometimes the season we're in affects what method we use. I hope that today's episode gives you pause, gives you hope to start again. After all, God is the one who has given you this hunger - He never intended to leave you unfed.

Feel it or not, you are known by the intimate, creative, omniscient, fierce one and only God.
His word reminds us, 'You surround me - front and back. You place Your hand on me.' (Ps 139) What does it mean to you, to be known? Is it safe or risky? Does your faith allow others to be known by God? Walk with us in today's interview Tracy, hear her God story and be encouraged. Your heart is worth knowing - so lean in toward Him. Be known and be loved.

Is anyone else feeling a little distracted? A little overwhelmed? Sometimes the best answer is to sit still and ask God to remind us what we have in our hands. What has He given us to do right now, not just in our lifetime? God is showing up here, so let's make sure we don't miss it!

I had the privilege of speaking to a group of wonderful women at Mother's Day Tea on May 7th. This experience was a first and God beautifully met me in my nervousness to minister to these women. We all left feeling both encouraged and challenged. Biblical Femininity, a book by Chrystie Cole, is something I highly recommend reading yourself, but even more so in a group study where you can share your experiences, ideas and convictions. God designed us for community and as women He designed us to invite, nurture and partner. Are you ready?

The palm branches and the nails. Both can fill us with wonder. He is in them both. At the foot of the cross – on whatever day we find ourselves there – there is abundant wonder. Awe of the sacrifice. Wonder at the level of love, devotion and faithfulness. The emotion, the experience, of wonder is not exclusive to the beauty of creation or the tender moments in life. Wonder can be found in the shadows, in the raw realizations, or in the seasons of anguish.

God has been reminding me of the power of our spoken words this week. The power of His Word. He spoke and it was. God said everything, and it was good. So this episode is a different turn. I hope you will listen - it is simple enough. God spoke and I wrote. This episode contains three poems: Start / Removed & Free / Mine
Genesis 1:31 God saw everything he had made: it was supremely good.
