I am so excited to finally announce that Training Ground: From Anointing to Appointing is LIVE! I has been a loooonnng two year process, but it is finally launched into the world and I am so excited. I wanted to invite you to grab your copy here. You might be wondering “Why do I need Training Ground?” We hit opposition in life, regardless of our past. When it comes right down to it, it can be…

I’ve Got An Announcement to Make….

Hello friends!

I want to apologize. I feel like I get going in blogging again only to pull back because of a project, and that’s what I did this last time. However, I really felt that I needed to devote my time to writing a book.

Yep, you read that right. I wrote a book. A STINKING BOOK! Well, it’s not stinky, but it’s super awesome to have accomplished this. It’s almost ready for your…

“Where is God in America?” a different perspective.

“What would you say to someone who is asking ‘Where is God in America right now?” and “How do we keep our focus on Jesus in all the chaos that’s going on right now?” (Impromptu blog topics)

My heart is absolutely heavy. Each time I sit down to spend time with God, I want to weep at the brokenness that is everywhere. It’s not just in America, it’s in homes everywhere. Not only are people asking

How Saddling A Horse is like Reading God’s Word

This weeks blog topic caused a myriad of emotions when I read the challenge. It went from excitement to a little bit of fear, to pondering. Horses are a way of life for me. I’ve always spent time on them, around them, and thinking about them. Next to dogs, they’re one of my favorite animals. So, when I read “how saddling a horse is like reading God’s word.” I knew this was a challenge I was…

When I realized I couldn’t do life without God

This week on my Facebook group I decided to have some fun and invite my members to give me a blog topic to write about. I was NOT expecting the volume of topics that I received, but I am excited to branch out and write about something different than I’m used to.

Today’s blog topic came in the form of a question:

At what point in life did you realize you needed God and you couldn’t do it on…

When God Was Most Evident

When God Was Most Evident

6-7 years ago, a pivotal moment took place in my life. I was seen, I was called, I was sent. For years, I stored this in my heart, sharing with only my husband. After much prayer,…

Fear. Something we are all familiar with. It’s the tone that writes news articles, helps pay the bills of sleeping aids, and sends well-thought-out plans running for the hills. I bet there is something specific that comes to mind when you hear the word fear. Fear of failure, fear of death, fear of situations, fear of change. Some even live with the physical side of fear.

It’s the partner of…

A soldier doesn't concern himself with civilian affairs, and as Christians, we shouldn't either. When we become focused on civilian affairs, we become distracted from the mission God has placed us on.

“Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them.” 2 Timothy 2:4

It is easy to get distracted by what is or isn’t going on around us with media inundating us on every side. Gone are the days you wait for the Sunday paper to come out to read about the latest news happenings. Now, it shows up as a notification on your phone. 

"Father, I feel like a fraud..." That was the only sentence in my prayer journal this morning. No praises, no requests, just a simple statement. It was wrapped up in people pleasing, and I knew to be intentional about my next move. What would I do?

“Father, I feel like a fraud…”

That was the only sentence in my prayer journal this morning. No praises, no requests, just a simple statement that held a lot of weight.

It was wrapped up in this blog post, honestly. I had written one for those who feel like they had to live passionless lives so they don’t offend anyone. But who was I to think I had it figured out? I absolutely do not.I…

Feeling Lukewarm? Here’s How to Fix It!

There have been days where I am acutely aware that I could be living a better, more productive and present life; and there are days where I flat out don’t care. The gap between being aware and living it out is where I’m stuck. Some days, I do a great job and get that “W” for the day. But why doesn’t it stick? Where’s my mojo? It seems like I’m only living half-heartedly this life that God has…

This is the book I’ve been waiting on in this season. Whether or not our stories are the exact same as Kim’s or they’re written differently, I believe we all struggle with the two questions she dared to ask God:

“how much do You love me?”

“what were you thinking when You created me?”

Too often we believe the lies that are planted in our lives by the enemy. Circumstances shape our view of God and tether us to the lie of being worthless. But when we dare to surrender to God and let His love wash over us, we’re changed.

I read this book in one day. My heart, still weary from unraveling lies, healed. I dared to ask God “How much do You love me?” And “What were you thinking when you created me?” It helped me to keep stepping, even though I don’t see what’s going to take place—I trust Him because He loves me.

Incredible book. Incredible story. Incredible love woven into the tapestry of these pages. I recommend 10/10.

I received a complimentary copy from BookLook Bloggers in exchange for an honest review.

This is not your typical reading book, but more of a short, historical devotional type book. Very well made with explicit color, it’s filled with great warriors of the faith who dared to obey God.

This is an incredibly well-put together book. Would make a great end table book, bedside table book or bathroom book. Short, but powerful testimonies that are inspiring anf convicting! Glad to have it in my home. Beautiful hardcover book with explicit color. Well written, and worth a spot in your home! Some of the great pillars of the Faith are in this book—and would do you well to be inspired.

This would make a great coffee table book, bedside or bathroom book. Great reads that are inspirational, convicting, and riveting.

I received a complementary copy of this book from “BookLook Bloggers” in exchange for my review. I am not paid to leave a positive review. 

I originally signed up to read this book because it dealt with anxiety. I thought that there would be tools in there to combat it biblically, but I got so much more than that.  I got the know-how to get out of my own way spiritually, to recognize how my flesh operates and how the enemy uses it to his advantage. I learned statistics of anxiety and what to do instead of succumbing to anxiety. Things I KNEW, like words and thoughts, were presented in such a way that I realized I had been slacking on them. As I journeyed through this book chapter by chapter, I literally walked out what I had read that day/week. It caused the wolf to rise in me, and be okay with it. It caused me to see that I’ve been giving the enemy more credence than he deserves, and to shove him off of the platform of my life.

Levi brings up a wolf rising in you, and how the enemy uses the wolf animal as a negative connotation. He turns it to show us how it’s an animal that has traits that we should desire. How like the enemy to make something that has biblical qualities into something negative. 

This book is brilliant, easy to read, but it hurts your toes. It is 100% worth the read. You’ll walk away feeling convicted, refreshed, and on fire to change the way you’re headed. Levi doesn’t condemn the thoughts of fear, anxiety, depression, anger, or the “inability to do great things because you spend so many hours mindlessly drifting through the internet.”

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:13-14, NIV)

For quite some time, I didn’t feel fearfully and wonderfully made. I felt misplaced and abnormally made. I could never quite find my place in school or sports. I wasn’t academically challenged,…

Cultivating a Spirit of Perseverance: Physical Fitness

Over the course of a few weeks we have been studying endurance and/or perseverance and what that looks like as a Christian. I mentioned that I believe there are three areas in our lives that help us overcome and endure: mental, physical, emotionally; or, mind, will and emotions. We’ve discussed mental perseverance, and you can read that here if you’d like.

Before we get further into the second…

Cultivating a Spirit of Perseverance: Mental Endurance

The three changes we must make deal with the mind, will, and emotions. Or, Mental, Physical and Emotional. Today we will discuss the mental aspect of endurance.

Romans 12:2 tells us:

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (English Standard Version).
