Misinterpreted: 1 Corinthians 10:13
Have you ever heard the phrase, “God won’t give you more than you can handle”? It’s a comforting thought, but is it really what the Bible teaches? In 1 Corinthians 10:13, Paul addresses temptation—not the hardships of life. This distinction is crucial. Instead of affirming our strength, Scripture reveals that we often face burdens beyond our ability to bear. Discover the deeper truth: God allows more than we can handle to teach us reliance on Him. Join us as we explore how His faithfulness shines brightest in our moments of weakness.
Costly Gifts
My husband has an uncanny memory when it comes to gifts we’ve received, and while I appreciate them in the moment, my gratitude often fades. This summer, as we travel to Greece, Italy, and Turkey, I’ve been reflecting on a gift I’ve already received: God’s Word. The sacrifices made by the early church to preserve this gift reveal their profound love for us. Are we honoring this priceless treasure? Let’s explore how we can elevate God’s Word in our lives and ensure the next generation knows the immeasurable grace of Jesus.
Fringe Benefits
In a world where societal boundaries often dictate worth, one woman’s desperate reach for healing transforms into a profound encounter with grace. As she touches the fringe of Jesus’ robe, she discovers not just physical restoration, but a powerful reclamation of her dignity, belonging, and identity. This moment, steeped in cultural significance, reveals the depths of compassion and the radical inclusivity of Jesus’ message. Join us as we delve into this poignant story, exploring how a single act of faith can redefine a life and illuminate the path to true wholeness.

Discover how recognizing these truths can help us embrace our need for help, shift our focus back to God, and ultimately find freedom from guilt. Join me on this journey to unburden ourselves and celebrate the gift of motherhood through the gospel.

How to Surrender Control and Trust God with Your Child’s Salvation
When my kids were little, my greatest fear wasn’t their safety; it was their salvation. I thought it was my job to guide them to the narrow path that leads to life. In a moment of desperation, I even held my preschooler’s hand over a candle flame to illustrate the discomfort of hell. But what I learned through that experience—and the story of Rebekah—is that my attempts to control their destinies only revealed my lack of trust in God. Discover how surrendering control can bring peace and joy, knowing that salvation is ultimately in God’s hands, not ours.

Striving Against Shame
From fig leaves to social media filters, we have always tried to cover ourselves. Deep down, we all wonder, Am I really good enough? We all struggle with shame, and like Eve in the Garden of Eden, we often try to fix it on our own. But what if there’s a better way? Instead of hiding, the gospel invites us to come out of shame and into the light—not to be exposed, but to be clothed in Christ’s righteousness. Discover how God’s love transforms our shame into grace and offers us true covering.
