Escaping Life on an Island: Turning Your Labor of Love Into a Shared Daily Task

Even if you are a stay-at-home mom carrying the weight of the home, you were never meant to carry it alone. Love is shared weight, not one-sided labor, and God calls husbands to step into discomfort, serve sacrificially, and protect their wives’ hearts.

The God Who Binds Wounds and Names Stars

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.”— Psalm 147:3–4 There is something startling about how close these two verses are. One moment, God’s hands are near—tender, attentive, binding wounds that are raw and personal. You can almost see HimContinue reading “The God Who Binds Wounds and Names Stars”

The Richest Person on Earth (Even If Just for a Day)

A simple Saturday reminded me how much beauty is hidden in the ordinary rhythms of family life. From hand-ground coffee to laughter over silly doorbell ringtones to moments of repair and emotional regulation, our day was full of grace. I ended it feeling like the richest person on earth.

Forgiven, Forgiving

Forgiveness doesn’t always happen in a single moment. We forgive, and then grief and anger resurface, and we forgive again. But while our forgiveness comes in waves, God’s forgiveness does not. When He says “forgiven,” it is finished—once and for all.

Devo for the Depressed

Today you are feeling discouraged. (Maybe it’s a feeling that’s lasted a lot longer than just a day.) Maybe you’re wondering: Is God real? Does he care? Does prayer change anything? Sometimes you pray and have answers. Sometimes you pray and don’t have answers. You’re hurt. You’re discouraged. You’re tired, maybe tired doesn’t even beginContinue reading “Devo for the Depressed”
