There is something so beautiful about those nights when you can go to sleep without setting an alarm clock. They come few and far between for me, so you can imagine the excitement I felt in my hotel room when I was able to draw the blackout curtains, pop my melatonin sleeping aid, and fall

I’m going to state the obvious here: Lions and lionesses roar. The sound of their roar has the ability to travel five miles on the still night air. But they don’t use the power of their roar at any given time. If they did, they would make themselves known during a hunt or mistakenly lead

“Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (Matt. 16:24). It can often feel like a walk in the dark when it comes to making important decisions. But that’s not what God intends for us. The reality is our Lion walks

Many of us have experienced moments where God spoke to us through someone else. Or maybe you were that person speaking into another’s life. Either way, we long to know God’s counsel and work with Him, which means connecting with the Holy Spirit through prayer and allowing Him to open our eyes to those around

“If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet” (John 13:14, ESV). Many people have taken the above verse quite literally, and that’s OK. It’s a beautiful symbol of servanthood.  But in today’s world, thanks to paved roads and closed toe shoes there isn’t much

You’ve been entrusted with an invincible, invisible, eternal weapon—and it’s time you used it. Whether you’re aware or not, you are part of an epic battle, and God does not want His daughters to be unarmed or unaware. The success of the most recent Star Wars movie hints at just what might happen if we

I can’t go a day without sitting in the tangible presence of Jesus. It’s something that I not only love to experience daily, but that I need every day in order to live an impactful life. I want nothing more than for everyone around me to feel the freedom and empowerment found in His presence.

It seems that injustice is constantly peering over our shoulder. Whether we witness acts of unfairness firsthand or read about them in a magazine, will we be women who battle against them, or will we turn our gaze away in hopes of seeing something more pleasant? In Isaiah, we see only one of the many

Let’s focus on the word synergy for a moment. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, synergy is defined as the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects. As women, we are powerfully capable beings who are fearfully

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10, NIV).  It’s easy to get caught up in the greatness of everyone else’s lives. We see all of the wonderful moments our acquaintances share on social media and we rejoice with

Are you a dreamer? A planner of big plans and a believer for miraculous things? I hope you are. And if you are, you’re probably watching and waiting for God to do something amazing through your life. Then here’s a tip: God will always begin with what is in your hand—even if it seems insignificant.

As I travel, I hear a lot of talk about the importance of being real. We all know of course that being fake won’t get us where we need to go. But with the passing of time, I’ve learned to question whether “real” is, well, really enough. After I minister, I often hear comments like,

Have you ever thought, I know Jesus has redeemed my life, but there still seems to be a lot of brokenness? This can be a common thought, especially when we face loss in our relationships. When we are deeply hurt by someone we love, it can be hard to move forward. We carry the pain

Did you know it’s possible to have extensive knowledge and still not be wise? Often knowledge and wisdom are mistaken for synonyms, but it’s common in our culture to have one without the other. So why is wisdom important? And how can we know if we are being wise or foolish? Let’s take a look
