Jesus calls his followers "disciples"—people who listen to him, talk with him, and look to him for guidance. And as disciples, we have an important job: to help reach others for him so they can get to know him, too.

It comes from the Greek word baptizo, to be baptized, which means to immerse, submerge, or dip. If you've put your faith in Jesus today, last month, or years ago, our job as followers of him is to take that step—to be baptized and live out your faith in him.

When's the last time you shared your faith with someone else? As a Christian, you don't have to get everything right, but Jesus does give us one job: to be ambassadors in reaching people for him—and it's always the right time to start.

A hard truth about marriage: it's not always sunshine and butterflies. If you're longing for things to change, the best option can seem like walking away. But lasting love comes from committing to choosing them, not comparing them to something "better."

Jesus showed us that love is more than a feeling. It's a daily decision to show up for someone, again and again...and again. Sometimes that means loving in ways that don't come naturally—but that kind of effort can make all the difference.

Talking about sex can be a little awkward...but it doesn't have to be. Let's break down the taboo with open conversation and a clear framework grounded in God's Word to understand, practice, and engage with sex in a healthy way.

Falling in love is easy. The hard part? Keeping the spark going and healthy. In today's dating scene of apps and mixed signals, God's approach to relationships teaches how to find and build something real—for a kind of love that won't burn out.

The world was weary and waiting...and God didn’t keep his distance. He sent his son, Jesus, a baby born to a virgin in Bethlehem. We celebrate on Christmas Day with lights and gifts, but underneath it all, he offers the gift we all need most: new beginnings, no matter where life has brought you.

We live in a work more, achieve more, never stop era. But do you feel rested? When God created the earth, he took a day to rest and told us to do the same. Sabbath: a chance to put down the pressure of productivity to find rest that lasts.

It's more than self-care. It's soul care. It's the small daily habits that make space for God, especially when you're worn out. With a little extra care and intentionality, you can work to restore what's exhausted.

What's been stressing you out lately? Work, a full calendar, responsibilities, relationships, maybe all of it. When stress starts running your life, that's when it helps to notice what's draining you—so you can find a healthier way to handle it.

Second-guessing your decisions lately? Wish God could speak to you with a megaphone? We've all been there. God has a lot to say through the Bible—he shows us who he is and how to live. And listening to his Word isn't about being perfect. It's about paying attention. 

God speaks in different ways—through timing, through people...through the doors that close and the ones that open when you least expect them to. Every no is a step closer to his "yes." And his yes will be the best one yet.

Ever wonder what God wants for your life—your career, your relationships...all of it? Knowing God's will starts with knowing his heart. And the more you know his heart, the easier it is to find the clarity you've been looking for.

Stuck in a rut of feeling hopeless, sad, and wondering if this is just your life now? It's true that the pain doesn't last forever. But the perseverance is building something in you that will—even if you can't see it yet. 

More money. More clothes. More house. More everything. But when is it ever enough? Finding contentment doesn't come from chasing what's bigger and better. Because even when you do get more, it will never compare to what God has to offer. 

It's easy to get offended these days. People say things without thinking, post things that rub you the wrong way, or they just come off...rude. But don't take the bait. God never said it'd be easy—but your response is up to you.

Just one more episode, five more minutes of scrolling—before you know it, an entire day, month, or even a year slips away in a state of distraction. Don’t let the noise of the world hold you back from what matters most.

There’s no magic cure for anxiety, no perfect formula to make it disappear. But there is God’s truth—and when you let his truth shape your thoughts, it might just shift the weight of what you're carrying.

You hit the goal, reached the dream, arrived at the place you were working towards—is it what you hoped for? When life doesn’t look the way you thought it would, know this: you don’t have to understand the plan to trust that God has a purpose. 

Waiting for what's next isn't always easy. You might want answers, direction, clarity—anything to move forward. But waiting isn't always a waste of time. God is shaping your story, even before you can see it unfold.

It’s true…life can be exhausting. When your problems feel like dead ends, it's tempting to just walk away. But with a new perspective, they can become starting points—to see life, faith, and yourself in a whole new way.

Insecurity tells you, "You're not good enough. You don't have what it takes. You can't do this." It can make you think God should've picked someone else, someone better, someone more capable. But truthfully? You are capable—and God knew it first.

Your time is valuable. How much of it is spent on your phone? When you think about what you could and should be doing instead of scrolling, tapping, and swiping, it's clear: the good parts of life aren't happening on a screen. Eliminating the distractions is always worth it. 

Phone glued to your hand? It comes with side effects: Easily distracted, a short attention span, missing out on the good things in life...the list goes on. If your screen time is taking away from what matters most, set some limits to make time for something better.
