  • Oil - Holy Spirit As... - Exodus 30, Isaiah 61, Acts 10, 1 John 20

    Oil - Holy Spirit As... - Exodus 30, Isaiah 61, Acts 10, 1 John 20
    Jun 11 2026
    Some images of the Holy Spirit feel big and dramatic, wind, fire, clouds, but oil is one of those quiet metaphors that sneaks up on you with how deeply it fits real life. God’s Spirit has a way of soaking into the everyday places we don’t always notice. Maybe that’s the point: the Spirit doesn’t just show up in the spectacular moments but in the ordinary ones, slowly softening, healing, and empowering us from the inside out.

  • Fire - Holy Spirit As... - Exodus 3, 19, Acts 2, 1 Peter 1

    Fire - Holy Spirit As... - Exodus 3, 19, Acts 2, 1 Peter 1
    Jun 10 2026
    Fire has a way of revealing what’s really there—what’s fragile, what’s strong, and what’s ready to be refined. Parenthood has felt a lot like that for me, a slow burn of challenges that somehow shapes you into someone braver and more capable than you expected. As we look at the Holy Spirit through the image of fire, we’re reminded that God’s presence doesn’t consume us but transforms us, refining our faith in ways we often only understand in hindsight.

  • Cloud/Wind - Holy Spirit As... - Exodus 13, 14, 24, Matthew 17, John 3

    Cloud/Wind - Holy Spirit As... - Exodus 13, 14, 24, Matthew 17, John 3
    Jun 9 2026
    Sometimes the Spirit nudges us in ways that feel as unpredictable as wind and as mysterious as a cloud—gentle, insistent, and impossible to ignore. I’ve learned that those small pushes often lead us straight into God’s purposes, even when they pull us past our comfort zones. As we look at the Spirit through the images of cloud and wind in Scripture, we see that God’s presence both guides and moves us in ways we could never orchestrate on our own.

  • Breath - Holy Spirit As... - Genesis 1, 2, 2 Peter 1, 2 Timothy 3

    Breath - Holy Spirit As... - Genesis 1, 2, 2 Peter 1, 2 Timothy 3
    Jun 8 2026
    Breath is one of those quiet miracles we barely notice until life feels chaotic, and suddenly we’re desperate for something steady to hold onto. The Holy Spirit, the very breath of God, is one of those gifts that doesn’t just tell us who God is but gently shows us, hovering, ordering, and inviting us to pause long enough to receive.

  • The Woman At The Well - Unexpected Heroes - John 4

    The Woman At The Well - Unexpected Heroes - John 4
    Jun 5 2026
    I’ve been thinking about how often Jesus revealed Himself most clearly to people His community considered “other,” and the Samaritan woman is such a powerful example. She carried social labels, cultural tension, and personal pain, yet Jesus met her with dignity, truth, and the promise of Living Water. Her story shows that no one stands outside the reach of God’s invitation.

    The Centurion - Unexpected Heroes - Matthew 8
    Jun 4 2026
    Amazement has this beautiful way of waking us up, whether it’s a breathtaking sunset, a child learning something new, or a moment of unexpected beauty that stops us in our tracks. Those flashes of wonder keep us humble and human, and they remind us that God still surprises us in the ordinary. Even Jesus was amazed at times, especially when He encountered simple, humble faith that trusted His authority completely.

  • Naaman - Unexpected Heroes - 2 Kings 5

    Naaman - Unexpected Heroes - 2 Kings 5
    Jun 3 2026
    It’s funny how often we brace ourselves for big, dramatic answers when the real solution is far simpler—and far closer—than we imagined. I’ve lived that in my own body, and Naaman lived it in his own story, discovering that healing came not through grandeur but through humble obedience. Sometimes God’s invitations are small, accessible steps that reshape our faith from the inside out.

  • Ruth - Unexpected Heroes - Ruth 1

    Ruth - Unexpected Heroes - Ruth 1
    Jun 2 2026
    Sometimes God meets us in the very places we feel most discouraged, showing up with a kind of comfort or joy we never saw coming. I’ve experienced that in seasons of grief, where laughter, connection, and unexpected peace reminded me that God walks with us even when the path feels heavy. Ruth and Naomi’s story echoes that same truth, faith is often shaped right in the middle of our hardest moments.
