No Longer Disqualified: Redeemed for His Glory
Your past doesn’t disqualify you. In Christ, shame is lifted, scars redeemed, and every broken place becomes a testimony of His relentless grace and glory.

Christianity Is Hard When I Treat Faith Like a Formula Instead of Fellowship with the Living God.
It’s a quiet ache many of us have felt but few admit. We’re taught to trust, pray, tithe, serve, declare, fast, and we should. But sometimes, our hearts subtly twist these holy practices into formulas: If I do X, God will do Y. When life doesn’t follow that equation, disillusionment sets in.

Labels, Limits, and the Language of Faith.
Oftentimes, when we apply natural labels to things, we unintentionally set spiritual limits. Labels often appear harmless, but they can become liabilities when they’re not rooted in truth.

Perfect Grace, Permanent Forgiveness
Dependence anchors us in His sufficiency, obedience aligns us with His will, and surrender allows His Spirit to live through us. His nature becomes evident in us not by effort, but by abiding. As we remain in Him, His love transforms us, and our lives bear witness to the One who first loved us.

You Don’t Wash Before the Bath: The Scandalous Grace of Jesus
You Don’t Wash Before the Bath is a powerful devotional unpacking the scandalous grace of Jesus Christ. Many believe they must fix their lives before coming to God, but the Gospel flips that lie on its head. With scriptural truth and compassionate conviction, this post exposes the myth of self-cleansing and proclaims the finished work of Jesus. Come as you are—because grace doesn’t require pre-cleaning. It invites brokenness and offers full restoration through Christ.

Partake Worthily: The Communion, Christ-Consciousness, and The Cross
Many believers avoid the Lord’s Supper due to fear or misunderstanding, not realizing it’s a Table of triumph, not shame. In this revealing post, Andrea Brown shares how the Bread and the Cup are not reminders of sin—but revelations of healing, inheritance, and the finished work of Christ. If you’ve ever approached Communion with trembling instead of trust, this is your invitation to come boldly, behold the Lamb, and partake with wonder.

Christianity is Hard When I Decide to Settle For Less Than God’s Best.
When we settle, we forfeit God’s best. We end up embracing counterfeits not because He hasn’t provided, but because we lack steadfastness and patience, or fear convinces us that His best is out of reach.

Reign In Life: The Paths of Righteousness
Righteousness is not just our inheritance in Christ; it’s our daily path, inward peace, and outward witness. It is the assurance that the One who leads us is faithful. The journey may wind, the night may fall, but His light grows brighter. And in every step, we are becoming more like the One we follow.

The Sacred Work of Stillness in Full Bloom
“I find myself in such a season. The air hums with hope, bees buzz, birds sing, blossoms unfold—and everything says move. But the Lord says, ‘Be still.’ Not disengaged, but deeply rooted. Watching. Listening. Preparing.”

Anchored in the Impossible: Trusting the God Who Cannot Lie
Here is the thing: God knows the heart. Those who know Him, who he has saved—love Him, and we bear the fruit of God because we are the children of God. Sin no longer fits us; it doesn't mean we don't make mistakes, but we wouldn't dare trample the grace of our Lord Jesus. Therefore, we don't make a practice of sin. John makes it crystal clear that when apostasy occurs, it isn't believers but those who profess to be so.

Christianity is Hard When We See Life through Our Wounds Instead of Christ’s Piercings.
Through Scripture, testimony, and practical steps, it invites us to view our past through the lens of grace—where shame gives way to worship, wounds become altars, and our story is rewritten by the blood of Jesus. This is for the one who’s tired of letting pain narrate their identity—there’s a better Way.
