~Open Hands ~
07.July.2026 We have spent this week taking inventory, of the hierarchy, the stuff, the family, the job, the things we thought we were bringing to the table, and it all lands here, at the posture that makes everything else possible: open hands. Open hands and surrender are directly tied to each other, because you cannot…

~What Are You Bringing?~
06.July.2026 Let me ask you something that might be a little uncomfortable: what do you think you are bringing to God? Your resources? He owns everything. Your talent?

~Your Job Is Not Your Identity~

~The Hierarchy~
02.July.2026 God did not leave us to guess at the order of things, because the order matters, and when we ignore it everything underneath shifts out of place and becomes heavy to carry. The hierarchy is simple even when it is not easy: God first, your spouse second if you have one, your immediate family…

~God First~
01.July.2026 God did not say love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind with an asterisk attached, meaning only when your spouse is not demanding more than you have, only when your job is not running you ragged, only when your children are not taking…

~When He Is Enough~
30.June.2026 We have spent this week together in one of the most important conversations a believer can have, and it comes down to this: when He is enough, everything else finds its appropriate place in our lives. And nothing on this earth, not your job, not your family, not your responsibilities, not the tangibles that…
