Recently, while engaging with our reading plan, I was deeply moved by the profound events of Pentecost, as described in Acts 2: “When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where […]
The call to revival is not a pursuit of novelty, glitter, falling down, or any other external thing. The call to revival is the call to come to the Man, Christ Jesus! We’re not after just a little spice in our meetings! We’re after Jesus. We’re after God Himself. So, as a community, I want […]
Genesis 1-2; Mark 1; Job 1 I’ve been rethinking my theology lately, looking at my life and considering the outcome of faith that I see in others. I’ve been listening to and reading different schools of thought, experiencing a good shaking. With all these new thoughts, I’ve been considering the term “holiness.” We know our […]
Micah 4-5; Philemon; Ecclesiastes 10 Recently, my son Judah shared something intriguing with me. He was watching a YouTube video that delved into the book of Philemon, a book I hadn’t deeply considered before.

Jesus, in His call to us, demands nothing less than complete surrender—denying ourselves, taking up our crosses, and walking in obedience, even unto death. This call isn’t nestled in the small […]
Guest post by Juniah Ramirez Ezra 2-3; 1 Corinthians 11; Proverbs 3 These were some heavy chapters today. In 1 Corinthians 11, there’s a lot of correction about being together and coming together—not just for the better, but for the worse. The focus wasn’t on the Lord; it was mainly on themselves hindering quite a […]
1 Kings 11-12; Romans 8; Psalm 134 How many believers find themselves still ensnared by the power of sin? How many live burdened under the yoke of condemnation? I know many. Undoubtedly, you do too. Let’s be honest: there are times when we all lose sight of the Truth. The Gospel, in its full splendor, […]

God had prepared me in […]
