• ~Faith That Chooses Life~

  30.August.2025 Faith doesn’t deny the existence of a problem, faith denies the problem the right to dominate. You don’t have to feel strong. You don’t even have to feel full of faith. What matters is obedience. What matters is showing up. I will be faithful, regardless of how I feel. “Faith comes by hearing, and…

• ~The Setback That Becomes Momentum~

  29.August.2025 A couple of days ago when I mentioned that the roller coaster not only stopped but backed up to get a running start at the next loop that went upside down, it reminded me of how life with God can sometimes feel.  When the enemy has done everything he could to steal, to kill,…

• ~When Rollercoasters Distract, Only Jesus Heals~

  28.August.2025 While I was at the amusement park, I realized something: rollercoasters were numbing the pain for me. For a few minutes, the adrenaline, speed, and thrill distracted me. And the truth is, I was very good at concealing my pain. On the outside I looked fine, smiling, laughing, enjoying the ride. But inside, there…

• ~Rollercoasters, Reroutes, and Trusting Our Guide~

  27.August.2025 Some rollercoasters have a way of surprising you. Just when you think you know what’s coming next, the ride stops, sometimes while you’re upside down, suspended midair, waiting for movement. Other times, the car comes to a complete halt and even backs up before it takes off again, almost like it needs a running…

• ~Rollercoasters and Growing Faith~

  26.August.2025 When my youngest daughter rode her first big rollercoaster, she had never been on a smaller one first. Without those smaller rides to prepare her, she had no gradual growth, no foundation to build excitement or confidence. Instead of enjoying the ride, she felt overwhelmed and afraid. Looking back, I realized it was an…

• ~Strength Beyond Ourselves~

  24.August.2025 When the noise is silenced and our hearts are still before Jesus, we often discover that He asks something of us that goes far beyond what we can do in our own strength. His leading will stretch us, challenge us, and sometimes feel impossible. And that is the point. God never intended us to…

• ~Laughing and Standing~

  21.August.2025 The Bible tells us, “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.” ~Psalm 2:4~ God is not shaken by the plots of men or the plans of the enemy. His throne is established forever, and “The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord…

• ~Taking Authority Over Thoughts~

  20.August.2025 The other day we talked about what we pray about versus what we take authority over. Today, let’s press into one of the most important areas we must guard carefully, our minds. Our thoughts determine the atmosphere of our hearts, the direction of our decisions, and ultimately the fruit of our lives. That’s why…

• ~Stay on His Bumper~

  19.August.2025 Yesterday my adult son and I went high-speed electric kart racing. It’s something we’ve done a number of times over the past few years, though hardly at all in the last year. The track was busy with mini-racers, adults, and plenty of energy since it was a Sunday. We both raced only once. Naturally,…

• ~Becoming, Daily ~

  18.August.2025 As our testimonies come to a close, one truth remains at the heart of each story: we are not the same people we once were. God is at work, redeeming our past, renewing our minds, and inviting us into a beautiful transformation. But transformation isn’t automatic. It requires our daily yes. When we choose…
