Heart Check: Why Are We Really Praying?

Last week during my devotional time, I was reading Mark 10:35–45, and verse 37 stuck with me: “Grant us that we may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on Your left, in Your glory.”—Mark 10:37 At first, I thought, Wow, James and John, really? Were they trying to elevate themselves? Seeking status?…

Fear Can’t Stop Me: Living with Godfidence

Fear has a way of creeping in quietly and quickly if we’re not careful. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard unsettling news or had a worrisome thought cross my mind, and all I could do was whisper, ‘God, I’m scared.’” And you know what? God can take that. He wants us to…

We need each other

Have you ever asked someone for help, only to find they didn’t follow through—or didn’t do it the way you hoped? So you just do it yourself. And over time, that “I’ll just handle it” mindset becomes a habit. You stop asking. You start carrying more than you were meant to. Maybe that’s not your…

Unanswered Prayers

Prayer is communication with God. It’s also putting your petitions before Him. But what do we do when those requests go unanswered? It can be disheartening, sometimes feel futile, when praying for something over and over doesn’t get the answer we were hoping for. I have been praying for something for a long time. And…

Worry Warts and Pillars of Salt

It would be stupid of me to ask if you worry about anything. If there’s anything that you get concerned about or causes you to loose sleep at night. That would be dumb of me to ask because I know everyone, at one time or another, is guilty of having worry in their life. My…

The Masks We Wear

I’m sure all of us can remember growing up and, more often around Halloween, putting on a costume with a mask. Superheroes or a fairy princess or maybe even something more sinister. Or maybe you were like me and your class did an art project when you were in 5th grade where you created a…

Godfidence – Episode 6 Getting Old

We need to look at each and every day as the gift that it is because we don’t know how many days we will get. We are never guaranteed another moment to be on this Earth, which makes getting older even more precious. #godfidence #podcast

Excellence, not perfection

Remember who you are. You aren’t perfect, but you belong to a perfect God that has created you for an amazing purpose. Look in the mirror and see yourself for the miracle that you are. There is no one else like you and no one else is called to do what you are to do.

Blotted out?

When I was about 7 years old, with my mom beside me on my bunk bed, I gave my life to Christ. I asked Jesus to come into my heart and forgive me of my sins. Seems good, right? Everything should be great going forward, right? Not so much. Life definitely gives twists and turns…
