You’ve messed up. Again. The guilt won’t let go. The shame won’t quiet down. And deep down, you’ve started to wonder: “What if I’ve gone too far for God to forgive me?” “What if I’m too broken for Him to want me back?” You’ve tried to clean up your life. You’ve promised to do better. But no matter how hard you try, the memories keep surfacing. The regret keeps whispering: God can’t love someone like you… right? But what if you’re wrong? What if your worst mistakes don’t have to define you forever? What if the God you think has walked away is still waiting—...

Belong: The Beauty and Necessity of the Local Church – How the Bible Defines the Church What is the church? Is it a building? A global network of believers? Or is it something far more specific—and far more vital—to the heart of God? For centuries, Christians have wrestled with these questions. Many today see the church as optional, outdated, or merely symbolic. But Scripture paints a very different picture: the church is God’s chosen instrument for reaching the world, the bride of Christ, and the place where believers are called to grow, serve, and stand together for truth. In this...

Seeing Christ in Leviticus: The Gospel Before the Gospels invites readers to rediscover one of the most misunderstood books of the Bible—not as a dry manual of rituals, but as a Christ-centered revelation of redemption.

Yet the New Testament declares that these things were written as shadows of good things to come. Long before Bethlehem, Calvary, and the empty tomb, God was already preaching the gospel through pictures, patterns, and ...

The Day the Thunder Fell A Novel Inspired by One Native American Oral History of the Battle of the Little Bighorn This is a work of historical fiction. It is not a historical record. It is not a documentary. It is a story—one rooted in the soil of memory, carried on the wind of oral tradition, and imagined through the eyes of a boy who stood where legends fell. Inspired by one specific oral account passed down among Native families—an account in which General Custer was killed early near Medicine Tail Coulee, not on the hill of the so-called "Last Stand"—this novel offers a ...
