Dear Reader, One of the bravest prayers we’ve found we can say is when we choose to ask the Lord to show us the people who betrayed and hurt us through His eyes. We think it defines a new depth of character and strength—because in doing so, we surrender our offense and anger in exchange for compassion toward people who may not deserve it.

Dear Reader, Following the events leading to the death and resurrection of our Savior often holds a somber air we often overlook, skipping the torture and grief so we can rush forward to Sunday and proclaim that He is risen—but it’s just a piece of the story. Just a piece of the devastatingly beautiful, sacrificial love that Jesus shows us. In grief, in sorrow… and highlighted with an undeniable flame of hope that sparked to life.

We wish we had the room to write down everything that we’ve seen already. We so appreciate all the prayer you guys have put in—it has truly made a huge difference. The schools we preach in have had so many sweet little souls desperate to know their identity and that they have a purpose. It’s hard to hear their stories—abuse, divorced parents, depression,...

If your thoughts float between the past and future and never stop in the present, there is so much we can miss. The beauty of following the Lord absolutely holds so much in both past and future—in what He brings us out of and what He promises to come. But what about here? What about this moment?...

Dear Reader, To be refined is never easy. It often crushes and stretches you into a shape you’ve never been as the purifying flame seems to dig under your skin and melt away the areas you weren’t even aware of. Refinement brings repentance in the pain. The holy flame that touches every piece of fleshly desires highlights exactly what needs to die and be released. How can we not be brought to our knees as we see the extent of God’s Holiness and perfection? His power? He draws humility from...
