The Great TikTok Ban of 2025
I’m not sure who the great TikTok Ban of 2025 impacted, but I just wanted to provide an opportunity for you to “mark safe.”
I’m sorry if I dug up a day-old wound. As people scrambled for a short time to fill the void TikTok’s disappearance created, I wondered to myself, “What does this mean?”
7 Tips for Building Your Small Group
Leading a small group is a significant and rewarding step of faith. Whether you felt led by a passion for Jesus, a love for people, or simply a sense of calling, saying "yes" is no small decision. But now that you’ve committed, you might be wondering, “What’s next? Who will come? What if no one shows up?”
Developing a Growth Plan

7 Priority Rhythms in 2025

Rhythms create consistency in our lives — guiding our habits, shaping our priorities, and ultimately allowing us to focus on what matters most. If setting new years resolutions works for you (past January 31st), keep rocking what you’ve got, otherwise, make it your resolution to ditch new years resolutions for rhythms!
The Key to Surrender
What comes to mind when you hear the word surrender? For many, the word conjures images of defeat, waving the proverbial white flag, and relinquishing control. I think of my older brother torturing me with the infamous “typewriter,” holding me down while pecking at my chest like a keyboard. If I was unable to escape his grasp, I’d eventually surrender, screaming for my mom or dad to intervene.
Benefits of year-end reflection
As the calendar winds down, the year’s end offers a natural pause—a built-in stop sign in our often hectic lives. This moment provides a powerful opportunity to step back, reflect, and realign. Developing a habit of year-end reflection is not just a personal growth tool; it’s a practice that enriches every aspect of our lives, from processing struggles to fostering gratitude. The best way to start a new year is to end this year with purpose.
