Jessica Telian 3 Minute Read Is it really that simple? We have all these ideas about how to shine as a light to the world. Dress a certain way, read certain books, do this, do that. But in Philippians, Paul tells us it’s more what we don’t do.
Katie 5 Minute Read My heart broke as I watched him walk away. Lord, why? Why am I here in this place? Why are you showing me this? I feel as if my hands are tied. I would fight this battle for him I could, but I’m left to only fight alongside him in a way that feels far…
Elisabeth Adams 4 Minute Read Oh Jerusalem, you’ve given me so much this weekend: adventure, good fellowship, a sun-burned nose, and a heart-full for pondering.
Elisabeth Adams 3 Minute Read I can’t keep procrastinating on trust. If I can’t trust Jesus with this unwanted, anticlimactic, homely, nubbly, little faith-tester of a circumstance (whatever it happens to be today), I won’t be ready to trust Him tomorrow with something more grandiose.

Chantel 3 Minute Read It is the golden days and cool nights that speak of endings — and of new beginnings yet to be seen — that make me stop and look back as I look forward. It is in looking back that I find…
Caroline Rose Sanders 3 Minute Read Over the years, my family has celebrated Thanksgiving in a variety of ways. There was the year that my dad’s job had us commuting back and forth from our home in Central Texas to an apartment in Hartford, Connecticut. We ate turkey sandwiches at a rest stop (and didn’t mind one bit, if I recall)….
Chantel 3 Minute Read There’s a little tradition that happens each November, and I think you should know about it too. It is called GreaThings and it is one of my favorite parts of blogging in November!

Danielle Carey 7 Minute Read My friend Sarah, a Canadian by birth, lives at the top end of Australia, thousands of kilometres away from me.
