Lessons from the First Family: Adam, Cain, and Abel

In the beginning of the Old Testament, we read about creation. God even says it was good! God chose to create the first earthly family, knowing what would come of it. I’m so grateful God even chose to have this family, with their strengths and weaknesses, recorded in Scripture so that thousands of years later we could learn from them about human nature, sin, faith, and ultimately God's grace.

What Biblical Fellowship Looks Like

Biblical fellowship isn’t just socializing. It’s not small talk over snacks or even a shared calendar of activities. It’s deeper and intentional. At its very center, biblical fellowship is a Christ-centered connection, one rooted in mutual love, support, edification, and accountability. It's walking through life TOGETHER, with Jesus at the center.

Single as a Pringle

Single as a Pringle

In case you haven’t picked up on it—I’m not married. “Single as a pringle,” as some might say. (Wait, maybe it’s just me that says that.)

Why? How? Is that right or wrong? How can we continue to trust God during a season of singleness?


The first thing I want you to know is this: you are a unique creation of God. There has never been, and never will be, another you. We are called to be faithful to Christ in whatever life stage we’re in—married or single.

Being single doesn’t mean you’re “unmarried” in the sense of being incomplete. A single life can be full, faithful, and deeply meaningful.

Making God Our Foundation

Making God Our Foundation

Instead of trying to cram God into a world shaped box, remember Him in everything we do! In our words and actions at work, home, church. It’s easier said than done, but when our actions are for God solely, we don’t risk accidentally creating idols. We don’t risk allowing our hearts to honor others over God.

This isn’t easy! It’s a conscious effort. Something we have to think about constantly throughout the day. But, with steps one through three, it becomes a little easier.

And this is how we prioritize God!

When we prioritize God as our foundation, we agree to build our lives on Him. We trust that He will provide, guide, and sustain us. Not our own actions. Not the actions of the people around us.

We are no longer driven by worry or fear, but instead by our faith in Him and confidence in His plan. As our world seems to get crazier by the second, isn’t this a beautiful gift?

Prioritizing God

Prioritizing God

When God is our foundation, our work, relationships, and daily activities become infused with His presence and purpose. We are no longer trying to balance life’s demands while keeping God at the top; instead, we are building everything on Him, knowing that He is our strength, our wisdom, and our source of life.

So, instead of asking, “Is God at the top of my priority list?” ask, “Is my life built upon Him?” Because when God is our foundation, everything else falls into its rightful place. It’s almost like that’s His intention for us (insert winky face).

Encouragement For Those In Christ

At the end of the day, being “in Christ” simply means being a follower of Him—belonging to Him, walking with Him, and trusting in His promises. If you are in Christ, you are new. You are forgiven. You are secure in Him. Let this truth encourage and strengthen you today!

You are not who you were. You are His.

Garden of Gethsemane Prayer

Jesus’ last prayer as a “free man” is said to have occurred in the Garden of Gethsemane. While the record of what happened in the garden is short, it is so impactful, for then and also for us today. So let’s dive in.

Let’s Talk Anxiety

He cares about us, and wants to hold the burden of the anxieties and fears that we have. Just like with the Holy Spirit mentioned above, He wants to walk alongside us through it all.

Anxiety is a horrible feeling in the moment and even for a while after, but God wants to be there with us through it. He wants to cleanse us of it, and give us peace. 

Prayer is always the first step amid anxiety, but maybe one of these verses will be something you can cling to as you find your footing during a moment of fear. I hope they serve you as reminders of how incredible our God is even in crazy situations!

Loneliness


Do you ever just feel lonely? Like maybe it is because you spend a lot of time by yourself or live alone. Or sometimes there’s the lonely feeling even when surrounded by a lot of people, but it just seems like nobody understands you. If so, I have totally been there (as you saw in a recent post), but so have some major people from the Bible.
