The back-to-school season can bring a mix of emotions- excitement for new beginnings, anxiety about the unknown, and the challenges of shifting back into structured routines. Whether your family is preparing for public school, private school, college, or homeschooling, this transition can feel overwhelming. Yet, God’s Word offers encouragement and wisdom for navigating times of change.

Conflict is an unavoidable part of life. We all experience moments when peace feels far away. But God’s Word offers a different way forward -one marked by humility, forgiveness, and restoration. Biblical peacemaking isn’t just about avoiding conflict or “keeping the peace” at all costs. It’s about actively pursuing peace in a way that honors God and restores relationships.

Low self-esteem is something many people quietly battle- feeling “not good enough,” comparing themselves to others, or believing lies about their worth. These struggles can affect our relationships, choices, and even our walk with God. But the truth is, our value doesn't come from our appearance, performance, or the opinions of others- it comes from being made in the image of God. This blog post explores biblical ways to think about self-worth.

From work deadlines and family responsibilities to financial struggles and health concerns, stress can take a serious toll on our mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. While some stress is normal, chronic stress can be harmful—contributing to anxiety, sleep issues, and even heart problems. Scripture offers practical wisdom and lasting peace, not through ignoring stress, but by anchoring ourselves in God’s truth and presence.

A diagnosis of a serious illness can bring life to a sudden halt. It may feel like the ground beneath your feet has shifted, leaving you overwhelmed by fear, grief, uncertainty, or even anger. Whether it’s your own diagnosis or that of a loved one, it’s natural to struggle with heavy emotions. But in the midst of uncertainty, God remains our steady refuge and strength.

Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. For many, it’s also a deeply personal day of reflection—especially for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one who served. We recognize that this day can bring a mixture of pride, sorrow, gratitude, and heartache.

We live in a world where digital connection is constant. Our phones are the first thing we reach for in the morning and the last thing we look at before bed. While technology has its benefits, it often comes at a cost: anxiety, distraction, comparison, and disconnection from both God and the people around us. Stepping away from screens and stepping outside into God’s creation is more than a nice idea—it’s a life-giving practice that nurtures our minds, bodies, and souls.

Life can often feel overwhelming, filled with challenges, uncertainties, and stress. In these moments, we may find ourselves longing for peace, direction, and reassurance. One of the most powerful ways to find strength and renewal is through prayer and daily devotions. These spiritual disciplines not only deepen our relationship with God but also bring healing, clarity, and peace to our hearts.
