Enjoy this guest post by Seana Scott, content creator, writer, speaker, and friend. When Jesus talked about his kingdom, people laughed at him. Eyes rolled. Anger seethed. The religious crowd wanted him killed because they thought Jesus “MADE HIMSELF out to be the Son of God” (John 19:7) and MADE HIMSELF out to be a […]
When I was a kid, my mother used to dress up as the Easter Bunny. I remember thinking it was the coolest thing ever, I mean, my mother was the Easter Bunny. We lived in a condominium community where there were lots of kids and on Easter in the morning they had this event for […]
Thou shall not… Before I became a Jesus follower, I thought being a Christian meant not being allowed to have freedom. I thought it meant there would be a long list of all the things one could not do. I thought it meant I would be living a life where I was continually being condemned […]
I will never forget one defining moment my last year of graduate school. I was required to have a clinical education experience in a hospital setting. When I arrived at the local medical center, I was asked to serve on the oncology floor. Five days a week for the month of January, from 8:00 a.m. […]
I was meeting a friend at church because we would be driving together to go to an event. As I got into my over 15-year-old car I thought, “I love this car.” I’ve always had a bit of a love affair with my car. It’s small, gets good gas milage, and it was oh so […]

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” -Mark 12:30 Loving others like Jesus is our lifelong “following Jesus” quest. Life presents us with challenging circumstances and what to do in such circumstances can be difficult to decipher. However, […]
Many of us are facing some really difficult and challenging stuff as we look forward into the new year. Stuff that we may not know how to unpack and deal with as we move forward. We may have lost loved ones, lost jobs, changed addresses, or be dealing with a huge setback. Life can feel […]
As the new year rolls in none of us really know how our lives will roll out. Last year at this time, I was living in another state, happy, content, not wanting anything to change. It was as if God picked me up, like Fred Flintstone moved things on his Bronto Skylift crane, and transplanted […]
Christmas is such a buildup. We prepare, we dream, we overindulge, we anticipate, we decorate, we shop, we celebrate, we say goodbye.
