• Intentional Suffering: Until!

  Sometimes pride and ego force us into what I like to call intentional suffering. Not suffering God assigned. Not suffering that was unavoidable.

• They Pushed Me: Check on Your Strong Friends

  “I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but the LORD helped me” (Psalm 118:13, ESV). What once felt like opposition I now understand, through Pastor Mike Jr.’s sermon, “You’ll Live” (April 5, 2026). I have entered a season of divine rerouting. Not because I was pushed. Not because I didn’t fall. Not because…

• The Necessary Thorn:What Sin Produces Within Us

  In Romans 7:8, Apostle Paul declares: “But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead” (Rom. 7:8, ESV).

• Shattered Pieces: UNLV Fostering Scholars Speech

  Have you ever been washing dishes and knocked over a glass? If you have quick reflexes, maybe you catch it midair. But if it shatters, what do you do? Do you sit there dwelling on the mess, or do you roll up your sleeves, clean it up, and move forward? That’s my life. Some days,…
