If you grew up in church, you probably heard the word “Antichrist” thrown around a lot. Maybe it was whispered during a Sunday school lesson. Maybe it showed up in a sermon about the end times. Maybe someone in your life was convinced they knew exactly who it was. I remember sitting through more than a few conversations where people were dead certain the … Read more
I was not raised in a Christian home, but I always considered myself one. Growing up, I attended Mass regularly and was deeply involved in Catholic traditions.

There is a friend I love dearly. Years ago, her marriage fell apart, and the life she had built with someone she trusted crumbled in a way she never saw coming.

The worship team was unified; the atmosphere was reverent, and it felt as though the entire room was being drawn together into something sacred. Then suddenly, without warning, the worship leader stopped mid-song … Read more
When our church walked through a study on Eschatology, the biblical teaching about last things, one topic kept surfacing with particular intensity: the mark of the beast. As a group, we did what good Bible students should do. We shared our perspectives openly. We brought our questions to the table. Then we turned together to … Read more
You open your Bible, hoping to hear from God. You read a chapter, maybe two. The words are familiar. You’ve seen them before. But when you reach the end, something feels… distant. You pause, wondering why it didn’t land the way you expected it to. So you close your Bible and move on with your … Read more

You’ve probably said it too: “just have faith,” “keep the faith,” “trust God.” But if we’re honest, there are moments when those words feel a little unclear… even distant.
