Check out my devotionals on YouVersion! You can "follow" me there to see when I post new ones. (Which might be more than a hot minute since I'm back in seminary! But you never know!)

Holly's content is to encourage people to become better disciples of Jesus and learn how to share Him with others.

Did you know that Gen Z is fascinated with the show "The Chosen?" Many are coming to Christ by watching the episodes and discussing them in community. I was invited to help write the discussion guides for each Season. Here is a link to a PDF if you want to check it out. Maybe you can hold watch parties with family, friends, or neighbors who are curious about Jesus but not yet following Him. All you need to do is invite and watch!

Let this quote sink in. How are you doing at letting the Holy Spirit lead you? What might change if you did?

“If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference.” - A.W Tozer

My new seven day devotional on “Resolving Conflict God’s Way” was just launched on The Bible App.

In my 25 years of ministry, I’ve seen too many families, teams, churches and individuals dissolve their relationships instead of resolving their conflicts. Often, I think it’s because they don’t know how. I’ve traveled to over 30 countries with Cru helping teams in crisis. My desire is to bring what I’ve seen works to you.

If you want to learn how to purse peace and reconciliation with others, this devo will walk you through practical steps on how to do it biblically. At the end of the day, even if conflict isn’t resolved, you can know you obeyed what God asked you to do and have peace in that.

Please share this with others so more people can receive this training to walk through conflict biblically.

Check it out here:

Become a biblical peacemaker. Discover biblical and unbiblical responses to conflict. Learn three categories of conflict and how to respond appropriately to each type according to the Bible. Grasp the true meaning of forgiveness and how to live it out.

Happy Testimony Tuesday!!
Cole Pate: "I grew up in a Christian household and I accepted Jesus into my life when I was 7 years old. That means I knew that God loves me and wants a relationship with me, but I sinned and am in need of a savior. That savior is Jesus who is the Son of God who lived a perfect life, died to pay the penalty for my sins, and rose again 3 days later.
I never got very serious about my faith, however. I was a "Sunday Christian" where I would attend church on Sundays but there was really no change in my life. While I attended a community college, I put my identity in my grades and in my romantic relationship. I was extremely controlling, judgmental, and I didn't give myself or other people enough grace for mistakes that were made.
This all changed once I came to JMU and got involved in Cru. God used this community to show me what it truly looks like to follow Christ and how to live daily for Him. I moved on from a bad relationship and I no longer put my identity in grades. I put my identity in Christ! I still struggle with sin, but I know that God is with me every step of the way and that He willingly forgives us no matter how badly we mess up."

Pray with me “Jesus our King and Savior. We ask you to be with and comfort to Beirut. You mourn with those who mourn. You are strong enough to receive the deepest hurt. Please bring justice and righteous to this crisis. Compel your church to love and serve your city. Only you can turn evil for good.”
