• 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. But suffering that continues because we refuse to seek the One who already has the answer. I know because I did it. And sometimes still do without recognizing it. Until. The season…

• 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…

  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). This is a heavy verse. Romans 7 carries tremendous weight as Paul describes unchecked sin, internal conflict, distorted desire, and the war between…

• Hidden on Purpose: A Perspective on Joseph and His Brothers

  Main Bible passages: Genesis 37–50 (ESV) During a live podcast with Kevin Lee, he asked me about the story of Joseph and his brothers. I didn’t have every detail memorized in that moment, but I said something that stayed with both of us: Joseph’s issue was not just his brothers. It was that everyone around…

• The Undoing, The Becoming, The Knowing

  Before you can become, God must first undo you. And it’s in that undoing that a deeper knowing is birthed. I was first undone, and from that undoing I gained the knowledge to become. Then, in my becoming, the knowing was confirmed. Before I could become who I was meant to be, I had to…
