The Tree, the Storm, and the Survivor
Not all soil produces life. You can take the healthiest seed, full of potential, and bury it in the wrong environment. It will struggle to grow. Bad soil is dry, toxic, or shallow. It lacks the nutrients needed for deep roots and sustainable growth. Spiritually, the same is true. When we plant ourselves in places that are critical, cynical, disconnected, or spiritually dry, we begin to wither from the inside out. Our faith feels stagnant, our joy fades, and our fruitfulness is stunted. This is why it matters where we are planted.
If Only

The Journey: Part Two: When Money Matters
In all honesty… it is difficult to preach the promises of God with holes in your pockets. It is even harder praying for people, when you too feel the need for prayer. But this is ministry! You carry your cross, while helping others with theirs. Your life becomes your pulpit. Your silent walk with God through the fire is probably the loudest sermon you could ever preach. And you must first live your message.
The Journey: Part One: A Date with Destiny
As we left the city lights behind, driving further into the misty midlands, the evening began to feel surreal. Not in the usual, first date sense. I wasn’t even sure if it was a date to begin with!
