"For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." - 1 Corinthians 3:11Picture building a treehouse with care and vision, one that looks incredible from the outside. But underneath, the tree holding it up is dead. At first, it might hold, but eventually the whole thing will fall. Not because the design was wrong, but because the foundation couldn’t support it. ...  Read More

"Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged." - Colossians 3:21 Whether you realize it or not, your words shape more than behavior. They shape belief. Over time, the way you speak to your kids becomes the way they think about themselves. And in many cases, how they imagine God speaks to them, too. That’s a heavy responsibility, but it’s also a holy opportunity. You are not...  Read More

"Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord." - Colossians 3:20 Raising children isn’t about controlling every action in the moment. It’s about building a foundation that shapes who they become years from now. Obedience, at its core, is not just about following instructions today, but developing a heart that responds rightly to authority, especially God's. Paul doesn’t sa...  Read More

"Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord." - Colossians 3:18 Submission is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Scripture. Culture often paints it as weakness, oppression, or outdated tradition. But in God’s design, submission is not about losing value or voice. It’s about walking in trust, order, and strength. When Paul wrote to the Colossians and Peter spoke to scattered b...  Read More

"Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged." - Colossians 3:20-21 When most people think about spiritual growth, their minds go straight to reading the Bible, praying, or maybe attending church. Those things absolutely matter, but if you really want to know how closely someone walks with Jesus, look at ...  Read More

"She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue." – Proverbs 31:26 Have you ever stopped to consider just how much a mother does? An article I read recently tried to break it down. They surveyed over 19,000 moms and listed all the different roles and responsibilities they take on every single day. Housekeeper, Chief Financial Officer, Laundry Manager, Uber Driver, T...  Read More

"She watches over the activities of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness." – Proverbs 31:27 There’s a common misconception about what it means to be a homemaker. Too many people think it’s not a “real job.” But if you’ve ever watched someone truly embrace that role, you know the truth. It’s one of the hardest, most important jobs anyone could ever take on. I remember a moment that ...  Read More

"Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands." – Proverbs 14:1 What kind of impact are you leaving on the people closest to you? Whether you realize it or not, your influence is either building them up or tearing them down. Proverbs 14:1 paints a clear picture. “Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands.” When So...  Read More

"For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you live, I will live; your people will be my people, and your God will be my God." - Ruth 1:16 Family is supposed to be a place of deep love and connection. It is meant to be the kind of bond that stands firm through every season of life. In the Bible, there is a word for this kind of love; storge. It is the love that exists within families, the natur...  Read More

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” - John 14:6    Jesus holds the key. He alone holds the key to salvation, security, and satisfaction. No one else can do what Jesus can do. The world doesn’t hold the key—neither do your friends, your connections, your network, your wisdom, your family name, your education, or your resume. Only Jesus, the Hol...  Read More
