Because Jesus lives, every part of our lives is changed—not just our future but our everyday moments. His resurrection gives us hope when we’re weary, strength when we feel weak, and purpose in the unseen work of daily life. The empty tomb isn’t just something to celebrate once a year—it’s the foundation we build our lives on. How does the resurrection shape the way we trust God, love others, and walk through trials? This episode will encourage you to live in the light of this glorious truth every single day.

What does it mean to walk in wisdom with eternity in view?

So much of life is fleeting, but God calls us to set our hearts on what will last forever (Colossians 3:1-2). In this final episode of the Walking in Wisdom series, we’re stepping back to see the bigger picture—how wisdom not only guides our daily decisions but prepares us for eternity.

✅ Are we investing in what truly lasts—knowing Christ, growing in holiness, and pointing others to Him?

✅ Are we storing up treasures in heaven instead of being consumed by what will fade away?

✅ Are we living in light of eternity, keeping our eyes on Jesus?

Jesus reminds us: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth… but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19-20).

This is about more than just wise choices for today—it’s about shaping our lives for eternity.

This is the second episode in our Walking in Wisdom series, where we’re looking at how biblical wisdom shapes the way we live each day. Wisdom isn’t just for the big decisions—it’s for the small, everyday choices that shape our lives.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to walk in wisdom in our daily routines, responsibilities, and relationships. How do we choose faithfulness over busyness? How can we speak with wisdom and listen with grace? What does it look like to seek God’s priorities in the middle of everyday life?

Ephesians 5:15-16 reminds us to “look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time.” If you’ve ever felt stretched thin or overwhelmed, I pray this conversation encourages you to pause, seek the Lord, and trust that He will direct your steps.

Wisdom isn’t just about knowledge—it’s about living in a way that honors the Lord in our daily choices. In a world full of distractions, how do we stay focused on what truly matters?

In this episode, we begin a three-part series on Walking in Wisdom, looking at what biblical wisdom really is, how it differs from worldly wisdom, and how we can seek the Lord’s guidance in our everyday lives. We’ll explore Ephesians 5:15-16, where Paul urges us to walk carefully, making the best use of our time because the days are evil.

Are we measuring our days by how much we accomplish, or by our faithfulness to the Lord? Are we seeking wisdom in the small, ordinary moments of life?

Join me as we lay the foundation for walking in wisdom, trusting God’s Word to guide our steps.

It's so easy to assume the worst about others—to misread a friend’s words, question someone’s motives, or let suspicion take root in our hearts. But 1 Corinthians 13:7 reminds us that love “believes all things” and “hopes all things.” What does that look like in daily life? It’s not about ignoring wisdom or discernment, but about extending grace, choosing trust over doubt, and reflecting the love of Christ in how we think about and respond to others.

In this episode, we discuss why believing the best matters, why it’s often difficult, and how we can live this out in marriage, friendships, parenting, and church life. There’s freedom in choosing grace over suspicion, and it builds trust and unity in our relationships. My prayer is that this conversation encourages all of us to ask the Lord to shape our hearts to reflect His love more fully.

As we step into the new year, I've been reflecting on how to keep Christ at the center of our lives this year. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by all the advice on productivity and goal-setting, but as believers, our ultimate goal is to glorify God in all we do.

In today's episode I’m sharing five key areas to help us anchor our hearts in Christ: renewing our minds, redeeming our time, serving with humility, walking in gratitude and contentment, and keeping an eternal perspective. These priorities have been on my heart, and I pray they encourage you to set Christ-centered goals for the year ahead.

Join me as we fix our minds on things above and step into the year with purpose and joy.
