  • ACTS of Prayer

    How do you feel about prayer? Does it feel natural or is it difficult to get into?  I remember in a Bible study, one of the prompted questions was whether we view God as transcendent or relational. I remember checking off relational, seeing the question as an either/or. But after thinking about it, I realized…

  • How I Feel Closer to God

    Sometimes we feel closer to God when we are doing certain things or in certain situations. This week, we are sharing what those are for each of us.

  • To 30 & Fearless

    I think sometimes I can be a fearful person. Not in the way of I won’t do something new or take a risk. I am willing to try new experience and try new foods. But in some areas, I let fear hold me back. I don’t like confrontations. In fact, I avoid them if I…
