Faith is a series of imperfect steps. If you look around, you’ll see people wearing smiles and happy faces. But really, just like you, they’re likely struggling with something. None of us will ever have it all together. But the good news is that we don’t have to!
Are you willing to lay down the mask of perfection
and step into messy, imperfect faith in order to take
that next bold step toward God’s perfect love?
If so... let’s go!
Paralyzed by Our Past • April 16
Our life’s experiences have shaped who we are today — both the good and the bad. Remembering our positive experiences gives us hope and joy, but the painful memories can make us feel uncertain, doubtful, and unable to move forward. How do we move past the past to find freedom & joy?
Spiritual Saboteurs • April 23
There is huge pressure in our society to appear perfect. Our messiness can make others feel uncomfortable. We’ve all had them: people who’ve told us we that we aren’t good enough, can’t do enough, can’t be enough. And, sadly, sometimes that spiritual saboteur telling you you’re going to fail... is yourself!

When God’s Love OVERflows • May 7
When we realize that God loves us no matter what — that God loves us when our lives are a mess, when we’re burnt out and angry and doubtful, when we yell at our kids, when we forget an appointment, when we we don’t particularly even want God to love us — when we realize that no matter what, God’s love isn’t going anywhere, that changes us. And it transforms the way we interact with the world around us.
How to Be a Perfec Parentt • Mother’s Day, May 14
Yeah, so, let’s just get this straight right now: there is no way to be a perfect parent. :) You will have your bright shining moments, you can love your child with all your heart, you can give them everything they need to grow physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally, but there are still going to be days when you make all the mistakes, when they annoy the heck out of you, when you find yourself saying or doing things you swore you’d never do or say. But in the reality of those messes, you can find freedom and be a strong example for your beloved child!
