Welcome to the Journal
Sometimes faith is loud. Sometimes it’s a whisper in the dark. This space was created for both.
Here, I share what I’m learning in the Word, in my walk with Jesus, and in the everyday intersections of faith, culture, leadership, and calling. Some entries are deep dives into Scripture. Others are heart spills from the frontlines of ministry, and others are just realizations from the messy middle. I don’t have all the answers—but I do have questions, stories, and a deep desire to follow Jesus well.
My prayer is that these words help you know God more deeply, wrestle through the hard questions honestly, and find hope that anchors you in truth.
When the Word Feels Weird…
Nothing is more demoralizing than waking up early, craving a word from God, hoping to open your Bible and be deeply encouraged… only to realize: 1. You’re still in Leviticus. 2. You’ve landed in the bodily discharge chapter. So you read it — because you love Jesus —...
Kingdom Fruit
The Kingdom of God is about living a life shaped by God’s values and experiencing the fullness of life He offers through the Holy Spirit. Here’s a message I taught called Kingdom Fruit — and honestly, it’s one I come back to often in my own walk with Jesus. If you’ve...

Leviticus 13 [Part 3/4]
WHEN THE MASK COMES OFF I’m still knee-deep in Leviticus 13 — and this next part hit me right in the gut. Once a person was diagnosed with leprosy, they had to tear their clothes, leave their hair messy, cover their upper lip (basically mask up) and shout, “Unclean!...
One Verse At A Time
I'M STARTING SOMETHING NEW I don’t know if this happens to you in your Bible reading journey, but there are moments where one verse will stop me in my tracks. And this morning was no different. God, in His goodness, caused my heart to wonder just a bit more than usual...

Leviticus 13 [Part 2/4]
WHEN THE WAITING ROOM FEELS LIKE A PRISON I’ve been sitting with the next piece of Leviticus 13 and — honestly? It’s still weird. After the priest inspects the suspicious spot, they often put the person in isolation for seven days. And sometimes another seven. (Hello,...
The Genius of Good
BEFORE THE CROWD WAVED PALMS, JESUS WALKED IN GOODNESS. This past Easter, I read The Genius of Jesus by Erwin McManus — and it wrecked me in the best way. So much so that our entire Easter series unpacked its chapters and themes. It’s a captivating thought: the subtle...

Leviticus 13 [Part 1/4]
WHEN THE PRIEST SAYS, “COME HERE…” I’ve been sitting with this chapter for four days — not because it’s comforting, but because it’s weird. Leviticus 13 is basically a holiness manual with a deep dive into leprosy. Honestly? It took some serious unpacking (and...
The Price of The Golden Yes
BEFORE THE CALF WAS MOLDED IN THE FIRE, COMPROMISE WAS FORGED IN THEIR HEARTS. Lately, I’ve been a little obsessed with the early books of the Bible. Maybe it’s because someone once told me: When you don’t know how to move forward, look back. Back there—between...
What If the Struggle Is the Sign?
Hey fam— Let’s talk about struggle. Not the cute “my coffee was cold” kind of struggle. I’m talking about the kind of struggle that makes you question everything, makes your soul ache, makes you want to give up, sit down, and hide under the nearest blanket until Jesus...
