In these blogs, we’ll talk about standing firm in faith, in a fall-away world. Our foundation will be Scripture, and our goal will be its application, here and now.
To be clear – the journey of wholeness begins with grace. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8).
This awesome gift of grace also calls out for our active participation.
When I got my first hiking boots, I had to put them on my feet, draw the laces tight, and get my body out on a dusty, dirty, magnificent trail, to appreciate them. The boots weren’t made to stay clean, dry, unscuffed, or unscathed, protected from the elements, in their box. Neither are we.
The apostle Paul, who writes of the grace we’ve received, also calls us to be strong in the Lord, to armor up, and to stand firm in faith (Ephesians 6:10-20).
We’re called to action.
We were made to participate in God’s great story; to get gloriously dirty and sweaty and weary on our faith journey, and then, having done all, to stand (Ephesians 6:13).
You’re invited to the conversation.

This summer I will be both the mother-of-the-bride and the mother-of-the-groom. How does that work, you ask? In the space of two months, my son and my daughter will be
I asked my son, a pilot, how to fly through turbulence. He did not say to throw your arms up in the air and leave your fate in the hands
