Done With Church, But Not With God

I have to admit, starting over at a new church is incredibly hard. Whether you’ve simply moved cities or have experienced some kind of pain with leadership, both leave an ache in your heart. I have worked for and in the Church for the last 10 years; I have seen it all. Fortunately and Unfortunately. The…

Emmanuel, God With Us

From our Co-Host Brooke Nicholls I remember it like it was yesterday. I woke up with a heaviness in my spirit and what felt like a dark cloud covering my whole body. I couldn’t pull myself together, let alone get out of bed. There was no joy to be found and I wasn’t able to…

God’s Faithfulness

Recently, my husband and I were on a serious house hunt. If you’ve bought a house before, especially in the last few years, you know how stressful this process is, and if you haven’t been in this situation before – I’ll start praying for you now. (lol) We had no idea what we were in…

Choose To Be Kind

“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”  – Ephesians 4:32 I woke up nervous, excited and full of anticipation. I was heading to a stunning studio east of the city to record my second album. That morning I sent out texts to my pastors and to the prayer…
