Welcome to the first episode of 2026! As we welcome the new year, a time marked by fresh starts and new routines, it’s the perfect opportunity to talk about making over our mornings!

When we don’t sleep well, we feel it in our bodies. We are sluggish, fatigued, and cranky. The same is true when we don’t make time to rest our hearts and minds.

For this conversation, we are focusing on how to become more securely attached within your own soul. Many of us often feel alone, unseen, or empty inside even if we are surro...
Bible studies of all kinds are a cornerstone of many Christians’ personal faith practices. Whether you’re walking through a book of the Bible, reflecting on a devotional, or going deeper into Sunday’s sermon, the right study can help you connect with God in meaningful ways beyond your daily prayers. And while there are plenty of ways to study the Bible on your own, there’s something special about learning alongside other believers. However, group Bible studies aren’t ideal for everyone or eve...
What just happened? I came into that scenario with the best intentions, and yet somehow they still snapped at me! Doing the right thing is not a guarantee that we will get the right response in return. There are many reasons why we might receive a negative reaction from someone despite our efforts. These can include our own heart attitude, the kind of day the other person had, and even the lens through which our actions are being interpreted. When this happens, we can leave an interaction fee...
