I'm excited to introduce a new Substack series, EYES OPENED, HEARTS BURNING — Lessons from the Emmaus Road. Imagine two discouraged disciples walking away from Jerusalem, their hopes shattered and their hearts heavy with disappointment. What they didn't realize was that the risen Jesus was already walking beside them! As He opened the Scriptures, their understanding changed, hope began to rise, and their hearts burned within them. Have you ever walked through a season when God seemed distant, your prayers appeared unanswered, or life simply didn't make sense? This series is an invitation to rediscover the wonder of God's Word, the nearness of Jesus, and the transforming power of spiritual revelation. Part 1: WHEN THE WORD COMES ALIVE is now available on Substack. I invite you to walk the Emmaus Road with me.

Gentleness is not weakness. Jesus could welcome children, touch lepers, and still overturn tables when truth demanded it. This week’s Substack explores what biblical gentleness really looks like: strength under God’s control, courage without cruelty, conviction without contempt.
Bold as a lion. Gentle like Christ.

The Lion’s Courage, the Lamb’s Gentleness

Do you want a more consistent devotional life, but struggle to protect the time? In my latest Substack, Simple Tools for a Consistent Devotional Life, I share practical ways to build a sustainable rhythm with God—choosing a place and time, preparing your Bible and notebook, reducing distractions, and even using accountability wisely. The goal is not a perfect routine; it is to consistently make room for the One you love. Read, reflect, and choose one simple step you can begin today.

Practical Ways to Protect Your Time With God

You can make time for God and still fail to give Him your attention. In my latest Substack, A Focused Devotional Life, I look at the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10 and the challenge of staying present with God in a world that constantly pulls our attention in different directions. If your devotional time is often interrupted by notifications, unfinished tasks, worry, or a wandering mind, this piece offers simple, practical ways to move from distraction to deeper focus. There will always be “many things” demanding your attention, but sometimes the most important choice is to return to the one thing that matters most.

When life gets busy, the first thing to disappear is often the routine that keeps us grounded. In this Substack, “When the Routine Changes, Protect the Relationship,” I share how to rebuild and sustain a devotional life when travel, work, family, interruptions, or exhaustion disrupt your normal rhythm. The goal isn’t a perfect schedule. It’s learning to protect your relationship with God even when the pattern has to change, using the time and opportunities you actually have.

Sometimes the place you never planned to be becomes the place God uses you most. After the storm and shipwreck, Paul arrived on Malta as a prisoner, but God used one surrendered man, one simple act of service, and one prayer to reach an island, a family, and a soul.
In this week’s Substack, I share how Paul’s experience on Malta reminds us that ministry often begins with something ordinary placed in the hands of someone available.

God can use a surrendered person to reach an island, a family, and a soul.

This week on Substack, we continue STRONGER TOGETHER — Part 2: Two Are Better Than One.

The early Church did not simply meet in the same place—they learned to live in one accord, united around one Lord, one purpose, and one mission. Their unity strengthened their prayers, their courage, their witness, and their ability to stand under pressure.

In a world that seems increasingly divided, the Church has an opportunity to demonstrate something different. Jesus prayed that we would be one. The question is: Will we simply admire His prayer, or will we choose to become part of the answer?

We live in a deeply divided world, but the Church should demonstrate something different. Unity does not mean uniformity or agreement on every issue; it means recognizing that what unites us in Christ is greater than what threatens to divide us. In Part 1 of Stronger Together, I invite us to examine our own hearts, release offense, repair relationships, refuse gossip, and become part of the answer to Jesus’ prayer that we would be one.

TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE

We often say, “Thank God It’s Friday.” But what if we learned to thank God for today? My latest Substack is about resisting the urge to wish our lives away while waiting for the weekend, the next opportunity, or the next season. Every day God gives us has purpose.
TGIT: Thank God It’s Today.

“Don’t Live for Friday. Make Today Count.

Some burdens were never meant to be carried alone. Worry can quietly pile up — conversations we replay, decisions we cannot make, pressures we cannot escape, and futures we cannot predict. But God does not ask us to carry everything ourselves. He invites us to cast our cares on Him because He cares for us.

“You Were Never Meant to Carry Everything.”
