Scripture, both inspires us and reminds us of our uniqueness as Christians. We must remember that one of the most transformative practices available to us is the disciplined study of God’s Word. When individuals purposely set aside time to study the Bible privately, they open themselves to personal edification, an opportunity to hear from God and to be taught in His sovereignty.   Sharing God’s Word with others is also a powerful way to connect in meaningful conversation and

This is a new year for a fresh start. A new year to build new relationships and strengthen the ones we already have. A new year to become a better version of ourselves. A new year to concentrate on you: spiritually, mentally, physically, and financially. A new year to support others and to be more thoughtful and compassionate.   This is a new year to grow closer to God, allow Him to lead and to provide the wisdom needed to make sound decisions. A new year to trust Him even mo

Psalm 22 vividly reveals the depth of David’s suffering. The intensity of his anguish is evident as he cries out to God for deliverance. David viewed himself as utterly insignificant, labeling himself as a worm. Conceivably the lowest image one could use to express feelings of humiliation and neglect. Yet even during such overwhelming pain, David knew where to turn. He called upon the Father, crying, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” The very words Jesus later spok

Paul was never ashamed to proclaim God’s Word. As he declared, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ…” (Romans 1:16). He understood the power and significance of that message. Its ability to bring salvation, to spark the supernatural, and to reach all who would believe. God’s Word remains constant. It is living and active, grounded in the past, relevant in the present, and speaking into the future. Scripture was given to transform our lives. As we pray and meditate on

Encouraging others has been something I have done for many years, even before I had the full understanding or training that comes with chaplaincy. In 1996, I faced one of the most difficult experiences of my life when my mother transitioned unexpectedly at the early age of forty-eight. Her death was devastating and took me through a deep journey of emotional highs and lows. Many people, family, friends, and neighbors told me to “get over it,” reminding me that she was a woman

In the Gospel of John, we are shown many wondrous signs that revealed the divine nature of Jesus. His first miracle was the miracle at Cana, where He turned water into wine (John 2:1–11). This occurrence unfolded during a wedding celebration that suddenly faced the embarrassment of running out of wine. Moved by compassion and at the prompting of His mother, Jesus instructed the servants to fill six stone jars with water. When the water was drawn out, it had been converted int

Don’t talk, just listen. Believe it or not, there is power in silence, messages often speak loudest when no words are spoken. Consider this, in the moments leading up to the crucifixion, there was an exchange between Jesus and Pilate. After the religious leaders demanded Jesus' execution for claiming to be the Son of God (Matthew 26:63-65), Pilate probed Him. Nonetheless, despite Pilate’s pressing inquiries, Jesus eventually went silent. And in that silence, Pilate was more a
