The Masks We Wear—and the Softness We Hide There’s a quiet truth most of us don’t like to admit, but we all recognize it when we see it: We wear masks. Not the kind you can hold in your hand, but the kind you live behind—expressions, tones, roles, and postures we put on to manage what people think, what people expect, and what people might do if they saw the real us. And yes… believers wear them too. Sometimes we call it “being strong.” Sometimes we call it “having wisdom.” S

Many Are Called, But Few Are Chosen A Prophetic Call to Those Who Refuse to Settle “Many are called, but few are chosen.” – Matthew 22:14 As I write these words, I sense the Holy Spirit reaching for people who already know, deep down, that they are called by God—but you’ve been restless, unsettled, and maybe even a little confused. You’re not running from God. You’re not hostile toward church. You may be serving, worshipping, giving, attending. And yet there is this ache insi

ARREST POINTS: Courage to Change Through His Love As I write this, I feel the Lord drawing my heart toward a very specific kind of moment in our walk with Him—what I would call “arrest points.” These are those times when, out of His deep love, God stops us in our tracks and says: “No further on this road. I love you too much to let you keep going this way.” Arrest points are not usually neat, tidy moments. They can be confusing, emotional, and disorienting. On the surface, it

Keys To Breakthrough Let me speak to you as if we were sitting across a table together and the Holy Spirit was leaning in on the conversation. Because I sense this strongly: You have not been denied. You have been prepared. You’ve asked God, “Why hasn’t it happened yet? Why is this taking so long?” But heaven has been asking a different question: “Will you let Me make you ready for what you’re asking Me to do?” We usually think of breakthrough as something that suddenly happe

I don’t know where you are as you read this—maybe in a quiet room, maybe in a noisy café, maybe sitting in your car before walking into something you’d rather avoid—but I sense this strongly: You are not just stumbling your way through faith. You are being drawn into friendship. And I hear the heart of the Father saying over you: “I walk with you more than you realize. I am closer than you feel. I am not just looking for followers— I am forming friends.” Jesus said to His dis

Excerpt from my upcoming book “The Wound and the Warrior” There comes a point in every wounded believer’s journey where one question becomes unavoidable: Who is leading me right now—my pain, other people’s opinions, or the Holy Spirit? Maybe you’ve never said that out loud, but you’ve felt it. You’ve walked through betrayal. You’ve been misunderstood. You’ve tried to serve God and somehow ended up bruised in the process. And if you’re honest, some of the decisions you’ve made

There comes a moment in your walk with God where you realize something uncomfortable: “I’ve spent years training for a world I’m not actually in control of.” Most of us don’t start our journey with the word surrender. We start with: Get educated. Get trained. Get strong. Get sharp. Get ahead. None of that is wrong. The problem is when all that training in the natural quietly convinces us that we are the ones running the show — that if we just do everything right, we can make

Out of Control There’s a strange kind of panic that hits you the moment you realize you’re not in control. It might be as simple as a delayed flight, a declined card, an unexpected diagnosis, or a text that changes the tone of your whole day. Suddenly all of the “I’ve got this” confidence we walk around with deflates, and something inside us starts grasping for the steering wheel. We love the feeling of being in control. We plan. We organize. We predict. We manage. And then l

THE WAR NO ONE SEES Author’s Commencement Note Before we begin, I want to say something from my heart. There have been countless teachers, pastors, writers, and believers who have poured revelation into the Body of Christ on renewing the mind. Books have been written. Sermons preached. Blogs posted. Entire ministries have been built around this one spiritual reality: your thoughts shape your walk with God. And let me say this with deep honor and sincerity: I never want to dis

A CALL TO SERVICE — The Making of a Vessel There are moments in a person’s life where God leans close… and everything changes. Not because you attended a powerful service. Not because someone prophesied over you. Not because you were searching for destiny. But because He chose you. Because the Spirit brushed against your soul and awakened something that had been buried under years of survival, disappointment, routine, and noise. And suddenly you feel it — a stirring, a holy r

1. A Prophetic Awakening to the Invisible There is something the Lord has been steadily awakening in me over the years — especially in the early hours of the morning when the world is still quiet, when the noise hasn’t yet invaded my spirit, and when my heart can hear His whisper without competition. In those hours, the Lord reminds me over and over again: “Life is not simply natural. What you see is not all there is. What you feel is not random. What you walk through is not

LOOKING LIKE CHRIST DAILY There are seasons when the Lord interrupts the familiar rhythm of your life with a whisper that will not fade. A holy tug. A quiet pull. A sense that He’s no longer content with us simply believing in Him; He wants to be seen in us. Lately I’ve felt that call intensify. It’s as if Jesus is saying, “Don’t just preach Me. Don’t just talk about Me. Let Me be visible in you — in your reactions, your responses, your daily choices, your hidden world.” Wher

Betrayal — The Wound That Shapes… I never expected betrayal to become one of the most defining themes of my ministry. I expected sermons. I expected prayer meetings. I expected spiritual warfare. I expected joy and sorrow, victories and valleys. But betrayal? No one prepares you for that. No one sits you down in Bible college and says: “Get ready. One day, the ones you love the most may be the ones who wound you the deepest.” If someone had told me that in the early days of m

YOU’RE NOT BROKEN BUT…— YOU’RE TORMENTED BY PAST TRAUMA There are moments when the weight a person carries becomes too heavy to hide behind polite smiles and polite Christian language. Moments when the pressure in the soul reveals itself in quiet ways—through the trembling of a voice, through the sudden silence in a conversation, through a look in the eyes that says more than words ever could. And I’ve seen that look too many times to misinterpret it. It’s the look of someone

The Language of Heaven Before a Breakthrough Part I — The Shaking Before the Sound I have come to recognize that before heaven releases anything of weight into a person’s life, the atmosphere around them begins to shift. It rarely starts with the gentle wind of favor—it begins with the storm. The language of heaven is not always spoken in words; it is spoken in movement, in disruption, in the rearranging of what once felt secure. When God prepares to entrust you with somethin

Love Without Obedience Is Not Love There is a cry in the Spirit in this hour — not for more emotion, not for louder worship, not for greater crowds — but for purity. Heaven is calling the Church back to the simplicity of devotion to Christ, to the kind of love that doesn’t tremble in word but proves itself in obedience. The shaking that has begun across the earth is not merely political or social; it is moral, spiritual, and deeply personal. It is God drawing a line between a

Anchored by Hope – A Journey Through Hope in Scripture! There are moments when the world tilts and the familiar foundations give way.  The storm hits without warning—sometimes through loss, sometimes through silence, sometimes through disappointment so sharp it takes your breath.  In those moments, hope becomes more than a word.  It becomes the quiet strength that holds you in place when nothing else can. Hebrews 6:19 says, “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm a
