Over the past few weeks, I have contemplated the concept of walking as “Lady Wisdom.” Reflecting on the roots of wisdom, I often cite the book of Proverbs, which teaches that a wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands (Proverbs 14:1).

The Uncontainable Love of Christ
This week, during our women’s Bible study, I experienced a moment that left me profoundly changed. Sitting in the sanctuary, I listened intently as the speaker eloquently described the difference between loving Christ and being in love with Christ—the distinction between a casual affection and an intimate, consuming relationship. She then posed a thought-provoking question: […]

Remaining Expectant in Hope During Perilous Times
One of the most astounding responses in Scripture is Christ’s calmness and peace during raging storms. When the disciples panicked as their boat was tossed by the wind and waves, Jesus was asleep.

Grief During the Holidays: Embracing Hope and Legacy
