On Monday, I received one of the greatest gifts a friend could give me – I watched the ultrasound of her little one growing in her womb. When you hear the announcement that someone is pregnant, you can register that there’s a baby in her womb, but the significance of that reality doesn’t necessarily impact you. Over time, you see her belly grow and months later, Lord willing, you can witness the baby for yourself. To be honest, for years, the hardest part of my own infertility was receiving pregnancy announcements. My heart was grateful the couple received this miracle, but a strong wave of grief for my own loss would hit me like a freight train. It would take a while to settle my emotions so I could rejoice through the process with the expectant mother. By God’s grace, I’ve been able to have peace and joy when I…

Many struggle with the purpose of prayer. Why pray if God already knows what you’re going to say? Does He even care about our prayers? I trust that today’s post is going to help you see just how much God cares about every single need we bring before Him and how His love made a way to bring them even closer to Him.From the time the Lord came down on Mount Sinai in thunder, lightning, loud trumpets, and dark smoke, the Israelites always had someone interceding on their behalf to the Lord because of their fear of Him. There were sacrifices that needed to be made by a priest on their behalf, then the priest would report things to the high priest. Then, once a year, the high priest would enter the most holy place to pray on behalf of the people and see if they still had God’s favoured…

This morning’s Bible reading was in Numbers 21. As the Israelites were traveling through the wilderness toward the promised land and fighting battles along the way, “From there they went to Beer, the well the Lord told Moses about, ‘Gather the people so I may give them water.’ Then Israel sang this song:Spring up, well—sing to it!The princes dug the well;the nobles of the people hollowed it outwith a scepter and with their staffs.”(Numbers 21:16-18)Music has a powerful way of impacting memory. When I read, “Spring up, well – sing to it,” it made me think of an old song we used to sing at a Christian camp I attended as a child, called, I’ve Got a River of Life. The lyrics go like this,“I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me!Makes the lame to walk, and the blind to see.Opens prison doors, sets the captives free!I’ve got a river of life…

Does communion hold significance for you? Has it become a ritual you do in church or with friends or family to remember Christ’s death and forgiveness for you, or does it still reach the core of your heart when you take the bread and the cup? I think today’s post will help reignite a deeper meaning for you so when you gather for communion, those elements will resonate in a special way.”With the first lamb offer two quarts of fine flour mixed with one quart of oil from crushed olives, and a drink offering of one quart of wine.” (Exodus 29:40)On our social media channels, we’ve been looking at the prophetic laws and offerings that proved to be illustrations of Christ. Yesterday, we learned that in the daily offerings of the Old Testament law in Exodus 29, it required a year-old lamb, fine flour, oil, and wine. The flour and…

Forward from Rachel Van Pelt – One of the greatest blessings I’ve been privileged to have in this life is to connect with many beautiful Christians around the world who are constantly living on mission for Jesus. Their letters always inspire me to grow my faith in Christ and share that with others.This week, I received one of those kinds of letters from my sister-in-love who works with a program called Keramiko Moms through Youth Unlimited in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Yes, my sister-in-love and I share the same name. It can get a little confusing when we’re together but it’s an honour all the same. My brother’s and her home is an almost constantly revolving door of community. It’s a fun house where you’re sure to find some epic shenanigans happening. It’s also a safe place to unload and share your burdens, and know you’ll be unconditionally loved. When I…

Holy Spirit does amazing work in us through our times of suffering. It is here where our hearts are most exposed to Him. It’s where we see our need for a Saviour. It’s where we cry out in dependence and desperation. And it is here where we understand Jesus as our Redeemer.

What do you do when you don’t know what to do? In 2 Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat faced an impossible battle, but instead of panicking, he turned to prayer, fasting, and praise. His story reveals a powerful truth: worship is a weapon.In this episode, we unpack how praise shifts our focus from fear to faith, invites God’s presence into our battles, and leads to supernatural victory. If you’re facing overwhelming circumstances, this message will remind you to keep your eyes on God, just like Jehoshaphat did.We’d love to hear your story!

Could you do it? Could you leave your culture and relatives behind, and move to a foreign country you have not even visited, if a God you may not know well told you to do it? How about if at the time, He didn’t tell you exactly where you were going? All He said was “ Go to the land that I will show you.” I’d imagine it would feel a bit like Amazing Race. You’d receive your first instruction: “Go southwest. Follow that trail for a while until you reach your next clue. I’ll instruct you which road to take next when you get there.” You have no idea where that next road would be or how long it would take to get there.

Something I often say is that there’s seasons for everything. This comes from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8:“There is an occasion for everything,and a time for every activity under heaven:a time to give birth and a time to die;a time to plant and a time to uproot;a time to kill and a time to heal;a time to tear down and a time to build;a time to weep and a time to laugh;a time to mourn and a time to dance;a time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;a time to embrace and a time to avoid embracing;a time to search and a time to count as lost;a time to keep and a time to throw away;a time to tear and a time to sew;a time to be silent and a time to speak;a time to love and a time to hate;a time for war and a time for peace.”In my Warrior…
