Staying On Track with God
✨ When You Get Off Track with God There was a time when I loved going for walks and exploring new paths. I remember one particular day when I decided to take a four-mile walk around my neighborhood. That doesn’t sound so bad, right? Except… there were parts of the neighborhood I hadn’t really explored…

Play With Joy
Knowledge to Ponder: Proverbs 17:22 Not too long ago, after church, I was standing around with some members laughing and enjoying each other’s company. Out of nowhere, someone walked up and said, “What’s all this laughter about? Mind yourselves, you’re in God’s house.” That caught me off guard. Why would anyone think we shouldn’t be joyful…

You Are Loved More Than You Know
Knowledge to Ponder: Psalm 17: 7-12; Matthew 20: 1-16 Having God’s love? Honestly… it’s the best gift in the whole world. I can’t think of anything more valuable. Can you? Think about it for a second—this massive, all-powerful God knows me. Little ol’ me. And He doesn’t just know me… He cares for me. That…

Listening to God Through Jesus
Knowledge to Ponder: Matt 16:21-27, 17:1-8 I have a friend who’s notorious for looking you dead in the eye—nodding and responding like he’s locked in—but five seconds later, he’ll ask a question you just answered. Not because he didn’t hear you. It’s because he wasn’t really listening. His mind was somewhere else. Now, before we throw…

Let Us Remember: A Juneteenth Reflection Rooted in Faith and Freedom
Knowledge To Ponder: Matthew 19:1–15 (paired with Genesis 1:27 & Philemon) I have to be honest—I almost let Juneteenth slip by without a word. And as a Black woman, I just couldn’t let that happen. This day means too much to me, to my history, and to the legacy of my ancestors for me to…

Marriage & Meaning: When Love, Faith and Commitment Come Together
Knowledge to Ponder: Matthew 19:1-15 Let’s talk about something real. I’ve been in a new relationship for a little while now—about nine months—and we’re starting to talk seriously about marriage. Now, let me just be honest: I’m not some twenty-something with forever ahead of me. I’ve lived. I’ve learned. And I’m incredibly grateful for every…

Rewrite the Story—It’s Never Too Late
Knowledge to Ponder: Joshua 2 Meet Sharon. She’s a light—full of joy, positivity, and a spirit that uplifts every room she walks into. But that wasn’t always her story. There was a time when Sharon believed that God had dealt her a bad hand. Her childhood was marked by hardship, loss, and moments that made…

No Turning Back: Lessons from Palm Sunday
Knowledge to Ponder: John 12: 12-19 I went to church today feeling a little heavy. As Lent comes to a close with Palm Sunday, I found myself wondering: Will I lose the closeness I built with God during this season? I didn’t want it to end. You know that feeling when you’ve been dedicated to…

From “I Can’t” to “Look at God!” ✂️🧵
Knowledge to Ponder: Let me tell you about my personal nemesis: sewing. Whew, sewing has tried me for over 20 years. I’ve bought 3 sewing machines (yes, three), and bins and bins of fabric, determined to get this thing right. You see, both my sisters are expert seamstresses. So naturally, I thought, “This has to…
