Celebrating Freedom (Caroline Taylor)
As we celebrate the 4th of July and Americas 250th birthday, I can’t help but be overwhelmed with gratitude for the freedom that the Lord has blessed us with. He has allowed us to live in a place where we can freely share our faith in the One who saved our souls and freed us from sin and death. He has called us to freedom, as Galatians 5:13 says. Paul goes on to instruct us all to not use the freedom God has given us for our fleshly desires, but to use it to serve one anothe


Testimony Brings Freedom (Aviela Groder)
Have you ever experienced the release that comes from finally telling a secret? From sharing a story you’ve carried in your heart for so long? I remember the first time I shared my testimony. I expected to feel shame or embarrassment. I thought I would walk away feeling exposed, wishing I had kept those parts of my story hidden. Instead, I experienced something completely different. I shared my story with a group of people who needed to hear where my freedom had come from, an


Speaking Against It (Emily Davis)
I had heard it said time and time again but it almost felt too far off to believe. I had struggled with worry and doubt so how could I possibly stand in agreement with God to speak against such things? My faith truly started to grow and be challenged when I got married (early 20s) and has since been challenged consistently. In all honesty, I don’t believe our faith should ever stop being challenged. As the year of 2025 is coming to an end and we come upon the Christmas seaso


Purpose (Rachel Emens)
Right now, I am spending my time focused on the story of Moses and the Promised Land. Miriam is my girl and one of my newest favorite characters. I feel like if she were still alive today, we'd be instant friends. I'd want the two of us playing tambourines together, dancing barefoot, and laughing like little girls. I'd ask her to pray over me like she did her people. I'd ask her what it looked like when Moses split the sea and what it felt like to walk through it. I just know


Obedience Unlocks Purpose (Kara Campbell)
For years I have struggled with the idea of purpose. Before Jesus, I felt there was no purpose. Then I found Him, and He gave me purpose. His commandments throughout Scripture give each of us the same purpose: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” So I made it my mission to get involved in church, show Jesus to my husband and baby, and serve in every opportunity available. These things


Kingdom Living Mindset
One of the greatest things I ever learned was not to wait until death to bask in the eternity of Christ. We can live in eternity now with a Kingdom Living mindset. A Kingdom Living mindset is when you are always looking for opportunities to be like Jesus. You look for ways to serve, love, and speak life. This won’t come naturally. It is so countercultural. That is why we have to do what Paul urges us to do in Colossians: “Think about the things of heaven, not the things of ea
