LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: When God Repeats Himself
This month’s cover story isn’t just a profile. It’s just another whispered answer. An answer that hit me right where the Father has been reaching into me all along‚ in the many ways He shares His heart and direction with His children...
Sacred Lessons from a Divine Rule-Breaker (An Award-Winning Editor’s Guide to Getting into Good Trouble)
Here’s the thing: I almost gave up. Not because I didn’t know what I wanted to say, but because I got stuck between wanting to be teachable and knowing I had a mission that didn’t fit the template.

I had to let the discomfort do its work.

Why I’m Putting My Heart on “Do Not Disturb” (And You Should Too)
We’re all living like emotional sponges right now, soaking up everyone’s opinion, everyone’s drama, everyone’s hot take on literally everything. And as someone who needs medication just to slow my brain down enough to think instead of react, let me tell you: this is not sustainable. Are you feeling it, too?

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: When Pink Chose Me

FROM THE EDITOR: Keep Calm & Don’t Carry it On
I’ve always carried “keep calm and carry on” as my personal motto, even before I married my British hubby. But I recently discovered I’d been getting it all wrong...
The Canopy
Have you ever been tired—deep in your soul? The kind of tired that sleep doesn’t fix, where the weight of everything feels too heavy to carry? The world keeps demanding more, no matter how much you give, it never seems enough.
