Send us a text A quiet room in Judea, two expectant mothers, and a surge of joy that still echoes across centuries.

Send us a text A brief prophecy with a vast horizon: Jeremiah 33:14–16 names a future where justice is not a slogan but a person, and safety is not fragile but secured.

Send us a text Start here if your soul needs quiet. Day Six of our Advent journey lingers over Isaiah 53, reading the whole passage aloud and letting its stark beauty do the work: a Servant with no impressive form, carrying grief that isn’t His, trading His wounds for our healing. We invited Lauren…

Send us a text When the world speeds up, we choose to slow down. Our Advent journey opens in an unexpected place—Genesis 3—where a whispered lie fractures trust, shame rushes in, and humanity starts to hide. Yet even there, a seed of hope appears: a promise that an offspring will crush the serpent’…
Send us a text What if your life is simply following your strongest thoughts? We open with an unfiltered look at the real you—beyond the cleaned-up version—and show how a renewed mind becomes the engine of lasting change. With Scripture as our anchor, we unpack why God starts with your thinking, ho…
Send us a text A nation can feast and still miss the feast’s heart. We open the door to a deeper Thanksgiving—one rooted in remembrance, forged in hardship, and sustained by a God who has been faithful in every generation. From Plymouth’s fields to a divided Civil War, gratitude wasn’t about plenty…
Send us a text The loudest voice isn’t always the truest. We dive into what it really means to know the shepherd’s voice in a world saturated with takes, trends, and almost-right messages that trade conviction for comfort. Drawing from John 10 and the imagery of the sheepfold, we unpack how recogni…
Send us a text A quiet morning, a harsh light, and a question that won’t let go: when you look in the mirror, do you see Christ—or just your brand?

Send us a text The doorbell rings, the porch glows orange, and culture says “lighten up.” We refuse to rename darkness. Rick and Lauren take us straight into the tension many believers feel around Halloween: warm memories and social pressure on one side, the clarity of Scripture on the other. With …
Send us a text What if the most bewitching and dangerous witchcraft isn’t in dark corners but on bright stages and glowing screens?

Send us a text The ground beneath our routines is shaking, and the timeline for “someday” just ran out. We open a clear path from empty religion to a living relationship with Jesus—one marked by surrender, transformation, and Spirit-filled community. Drawing from Matthew 25, Romans 10, Hebrews 9:27…
Send us a text What do you do when heaven itself goes quiet? We open Revelation 8:1 and step into the half hour of silence—no thunder, no choirs, no motion—just a charged pause before the trumpet judgments. That hush isn’t empty. It’s mercy held open, judgment at the door, and a summons to listen w…
Send us a text The celebration turns into a siren. Two years into Renewed Mindsets, we look at a world that feels eerily aligned with Scripture and ask a hard, honest question: are we awake at the midnight cry, or marked by compromise? We trace the signs—Israel’s place in prophecy, shifting allianc…
Send us a text What's quietly destroying the church from within? Long before the mark of the beast arrives, another mark is already conditioning believers – the mark of compromise.
