The Stones We Carry: What Jesus Does With Our Disappointments
The marriage you thought God promised. The children who walked away. The healing that never came. We carry these stones of disappointment everywhere, so used to the weight that we’ve forgotten what it feels like to walk without them. But God never minimizes our disappointments—He enters into them. And He’s offering an exchange: your ashes for His beauty, your mourning for His joy, your crushing weight for His rest. The King is waiting. The invitation stands. Will you come?
Removing Idols
When God Removes What We’ve Been Worshiping There’s a peculiar ache that comes when something we’ve built our life around suddenly disappears. A relationship ends. A dream dies.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re fighting battles bigger than yourself—persistent struggles that won’t lift no matter how hard you pray—you may be dealing with spiritual opposition that requires spiritual solutions.
