Racial Bias: A Melanin Working Mom’s Call for Change

When George Floyd called out for his Mama, he summoned every mother in the world. All of our hearts were broken, and tears were flowing from our eyes. We all saw our children on the ground with a knee on their necks.

When you're mad at God

Easter is coming, and as churches prepare for the big day and Christians around the world partake in Lent, I find myself a wee bit frustrated. Though I am supposed to be reflecting on the great sacrifice Jesus made for me, I AM MAD @ God.

When God Shows Up in the Middle of the Deadline

Many times, we feel overwhelmed because we are trying to accomplish God’s assignment with human effort. That’s a burden we were never meant to carry.

Climb the Sycamore Tree

Christ wasn’t concerned about Zacchaeus’ past. He was interested in his future. Zacchaeus had sincerely sought Him, and Jesus chose to abide with him - not for a passing moment, but in a life-changing way.

2010: A New Year, A Renewed Purpose

No resolution, no dream, and no plan can truly succeed without God’s guidance, His presence, and the discernment that comes from walking with Him.

Get Out of the Spotlight

Sometimes, without even realizing it, we bring the world’s ideas of image, status, and visibility into a place that was meant to center completely on God.

Who's driving this thing?

Faith means trusting God to take us where we need to go, even when we don’t know the route, the timing, or what the journey will look like. All that matters is that He’s at the wheel

OMG! I'm sinking...Taking Your Eyes Off Jesus

Faith doesn’t mean the wind stops blowing. It means we keep looking at the One who told us to come, even while it blows.

Spiritual Fluff! The Courage to Step Back

For over 16 years, I served in various leadership roles in the church. Those years were filled with growth, joy, challenges, lessons, and moments I will always be grateful for. I don’t regret the service, but for several months, I felt a quiet tug in my spirit telling me it was time to step back.

Remembering What Really Matters

The world is watching how we live out our faith. If our actions don’t align with what we profess, the message of Christ can become harder for others to see.

Let Him break you

When God is preparing us for something greater, He begins shaping us, sometimes quietly, sometimes through experiences we don’t immediately understand.

2009: A Time to Reflect and Refocus

A ministry that is not centered on Him will eventually lose its purpose. But when God is the foundation, even the smallest efforts can bear lasting fruit.

Bored again Christians: Are We Spirit-Filled… or Just Chasing the Hype?

Creativity in worship is a gift. But when substance takes a back seat to spectacle, something is off balance.

Don't lose sight of the Call

In that moment, I was reminded of something important: Our security isn’t ultimately found in a house, a job, or anything we can lose. Our security is found in God.

Serve First! - Meet the Need, Then Preach the Word

Jesus understood something we sometimes forget: Before people can receive hope, they often need help.

faith reflections

He didn't call them. He called you!

There will be times when family, friends, or even fellow believers don’t see what God is doing in your life. Their doubts may make you question yourself. You may even feel like stepping back and saying, “Lord, maybe I should just quit.”

Religion vs. Relationship: My Story, My Faith Journey

I noticed that many conversations within church culture, across denominations, not just one, can become centered on external practices, traditions, and interpretations, while people sitting in the pews are quietly fighting spiritual battles, searching for hope, healing, and connection with Christ.

So What!

Too many women are defining their worth by someone else’s definition of beauty, one that changes with trends, filters, and opinions.

Who is the Unbeliever?

Christians may differ on doctrine, worship style, or denominational structure, but if they confess Christ, they are part of the same body.

It takes two. Extend grace, not shame

Too often, accountability seems one-sided. The weight falls on the woman, while the man fades quietly into the background. But sin, responsibility, and restoration are never meant to be gendered.

Cast the first stone

I am often taken aback by how quickly we, as church people, can move toward banishment when it comes to someone else’s sin, especially the sins of women.

Who Are You?

Why do we feel the need to know everything about everyone sitting across the pew? A friend of mine jokingly calls people like this “CCs”-Competing Christians. Always comparing, always measuring blessings, and always trying to size up where you are in life.
