This Saturday I’ll be leading my very first Bible study, and I’m excited to share what God has placed on my heart. My study is called “Planting the Seed” and is based on Matthew 13:1-23, the Parable of the Sower. Together we’ll explore: 🌿 Why Jesus compared God’s Word to a seed 🌿 The differ

Thirty days of prayer, reflection, growth, and trusting God through the journey of parenting. As we close this study, remember this truth: you were never meant to do this alone. Jesus promises in Matthew 28:20, “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Through every challenge

A legacy isn’t built in a single moment—it’s built through the daily choices we make, the faith we live out, and the example we set for those who come behind us. Psalm 78:4 reminds us to tell the next generation about the goodness, power, and faithfulness of God. Our children may not remember ev
