When we lean into the way God has called us to live in the context of community, we find that we’re most full, satisfied, and closely able to walk with Him.

The biblical view of marriage is that it's a flawed person married to another flawed person in a fallen world, but with a faithful God. If you don't consider that fact before going into marriage, then you’ll be shocked when that person disappoints you. 

Taking responsibility allows you to choose joy and hope. It doesn’t mean that others shouldn’t have consequences for wrongful actions, but it means you get to live out the truth of the gospel by extending the same forgiveness to others that God has extended towards you.

It’s time to go to war for your faith by fighting the lies you believe.

Doubt is part of our faith, and fighting doubt is important. Faith is not only a matter of believing that God is real. Faith is also about trusting God’s hand in our lives and His plan for us.

“His spirit was still in me because it doesn't just go in and out – I am His. It’s purely His grace that I would lean into that, even when I was resenting and resisting it.” - Bethany Barnard

We’re living in a time where the universal feeling is exhaustion and apathy. Most people are experiencing burnout, and the tendency, desire, and temptation to check out is at an all-time high. How do we find the strength to care when you’re burnt out?

Most people don’t believe in the power of God because we look for logic in faith. Many people are missing out on God's best for them because they're playing it safe.

When we set our desires before God, we build a relationship with Him. This is the difference between trusting and grasping.

I used to believe it was unnecessary to have a five-year plan because I wanted to live open-handed, trust God, and be where He wants me to be. That worked… until it didn’t.

There's often a lot of confusion between desire and sin, but it’s in our human nature to long for things. A lot of our longings aren't evil, but instead, they’re suppressed because we’re not honest about them. We act out of desire, and when we don't know what we're longing for, we sometimes settle for insufficient alternatives.

Most of us are scared to share our stories. We fear the possible repercussions of sharing the most embarrassing parts of ourselves. But telling your story is the path to healing.
