When My Soul Hungered for More
Packer writes that clear-sighted souls “want something better” than shallow religion, though some end up wandering off into isolation. I know that ache well.

The Word Before the Page 📄
There was a time when God’s people did not carry bound Bibles in their hands. They carried His Word in their hearts.

The Apathetic Leader
She didn’t need a program.She needed presence.Not a branded ministry, but a broken-hearted companion.Not polished words, but someone who dared to sit with the mess.

When the Doors Open
A Testimony of God’s Provision By Inez Como There’s something sacred about waiting. When you’ve labored in silence… prayed through storms… stood firm through rejection and setbacks… and then—suddenly—the door opens. Not by your strength, but by His hand. After all these years of building—not just homes and businesses, but a testimony of integrity and…

What I Couldn’t Find in the Church
And Found in Christ Alone, and His Word There was a time when I thought I was doing everything right: attending church, staying active in ministry, seeking counsel when I felt overwhelmed. And yet, in my most desperate seasons—when I was battling strongholds, confusion, and relapse—I couldn’t find the help I truly needed within the…
