Could this be Home? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not every decision comes with a clear right or wrong answer. In this episode, I'm sharing the story of the choice that moved our family to Wyoming, and what it taught me about letting the peace of Christ rule instead of rushing to an answer. Drawing from Pastor Isaac's sermon on Colossians 3:15, we talk about the difference between excitement and real peace, why testing a decision instead of rushing it matters, and what it looks like to trust God with a choice that doesn't come with guarantees.
Let the Peace of Christ Rule | Colossians 3:15 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does it really mean to live at peace? Peace is often something we think of as a feeling, a quiet moment, or simply the absence of conflict. But in Colossians 3: 15, Paul invites us into something much deeper: “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.” That little word let opens up a bigger conversation about our relationship with God.

Live Like You Are Alive (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does it actually look like to live as someone who has been made new? In Colossians 3, Paul gives us a picture of the transformed Christian life by telling us to “put on” a new way of living. Like adding layers as the seasons change, we are called to clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, then hold it all together with love. But this isn't about simply trying harder to become a better person. These qualities flow from knowing who we already are in Chr
My Face Gets There First (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My face gets there before my mouth does. It gives away what I'm thinking before I've decided whether it's worth saying. In this episode, I sit with Colossians 3:8-10 and an ordinary morning with my daughter Lydia to ask a harder question than how do I stop making that face. The real question is what's happening in my heart when things don't go according to plan. This continues our walk through Pastor Isaac's series in Colossians 3, exploring the difference between managing a reaction and letting
