Kingdom WorkLove Them Anyway; Matthew Chapter 2Send us a textIt was always so confusing to me when people have gone out of their way to act ugly and hateful and it can make you start to question yourself like what did I do to you? And a possible answer to that could very simply be nothing. Maybe you didn’t do anything for them to act hateful to you, in fact maybe you went out of your way to show kindness or grace. The thing that helps me feel encouraged is to remind myself that they are obviously hurting, and I truly be...2025-04-1507 minKingdom WorkOpen Hands and Eager Hearts; Matthew Chapter 1Send us a textGod has a specific calling on each of our lives and since He’s a loving God, He’s not going to force us to do anything. And sometimes when we think we know better, we start making decisions with our own agenda in mind and those plans we made don’t quite work out the way we hoped. Maybe you’ve experienced a deep loss or rejection or there’s something that’s happened in your life that you just can’t see why. In those moments, as hard as it may be, we just ha...2025-03-2508 minKingdom WorkYou Are Called For GreaterSend us a textNo matter what stage of life we find ourselves in, there are going to be highs and lows. The good news, is that the only constant we have to rely on is a compassionate and Mighty Father. One who cares about the details, who cares about your heart and who has called you for a greater purpose. When we are more focused on our own strength and our own agenda, it's no wonder we often feel stressed out and discouraged. When we focus more on Jesus, and His purpose for our life, everything...2025-02-2606 minKingdom WorkGod Can Handle Your Big PrayersSend us a textPart of me wanted to re-record this episode, as I get pretty emotional during it, but I know myself and it probably wouldn't have turned out any better a second time. It's okay to ask God for what you need. The big and scary prayers, He can handle them. You can trust Him. Ask and you will receive, knock and the door will be opened, seek Him wholeheartedly and you WILL find Him. He loves to reveal Himself to us and He loves to bless His children. You are seen. You a...2025-02-0508 minKingdom WorkBeing Made New; Season 2 IntroductionSend us a textWith this new season of Kingdom Work, I want us to get comfortable with sometimes being uncomfortable. That's a lot of what being a Christian is. Being a follower of Christ and being made new isn't always pretty or "aesthetically pleasing," but it's about surrender. And where there is surrender, there is freedom. Part of surrendering is trusting that what God is doing is good. Because it is! I believe He is calling each of us to draw near to Him, to trust in His promises because He has never ever failed, and...2025-01-0209 minKingdom WorkGiving Jesus Our All; Mark Chapter 12Send us a textIn this week's church sermon my pastor talked about how you finish something is how you start the next thing. And in the very end of today's reading we learn about a poor widow who gave everything she had to Jesus. As this is end of Season 1 of Kingdom Work and the end of the year 2024, I pray each of us finish the year with a surrendered heart posture. I pray that we would give everything we have to Jesus, lay it all down at His feet. That we would finish strong, encouraged...2024-12-3109 minKingdom WorkThere is Blessing In Obedience; Mark Chapter 11Send us a textWhen we get to know Jesus, we understand the depths of his love for us. Something changes within us that makes us want to obey God’s calling not because we have to/ because that’s what christians do, no but because we understand that what God wants is what’s best for us. Sometimes he calls us to do things we think are impossible, uncomfortable, we don’t understand it, we don’t know why, but there is blessing in obedience. He is the God of healing, of restoration, of peace, he is the God...2024-12-3007 minKingdom WorkEyes Locked On The King; Mark Chapter 10Send us a textBeing in any relationship is hard work. It takes intention, time, prayer, effort, communication, sacrifice, grace, community and support. Marriage was created by God for His Glory so if He isn’t at the center of your heart and your relationship, it will be much more difficult and hurtful when problems or conflict arise...the other person is a person at the end of the day, and since they are not Jesus they will inevitably disappoint you. Because of this, I think it’s important whether you’re married or not, to be asking...2024-05-0309 minKingdom WorkHelp Me Overcome My Unbelief; Mark Chapter 9Send us a textWe are not always going to have a perfect faith, and in this chapter we learn that we are not alone in feeling doubt or unbelief. It’s easy to trust Him when we see the miracle and we see the answered prayer but in the moments we don’t see it happen, it’s hard to not have some disappointment and confusion about what He's doing and how He's moving. However, we're encouraged to go to God in these moments and cry out for help. Just like the father said to Jesus, "I beli...2024-05-0109 minKingdom WorkWho Do You Say I Am? Mark Chapter 8Send us a textOur faith doesn’t come down to anyone else’s opinion on who God is or who He should be in our life. When you’re in the middle of something you need rescuing from, you need to be able to confidently call on Jesus as the Messiah, your Savior in this life and for eternity. If you struggle with the idea of this, I challenge you to dig deeper and just talk to Him one on one. He will prove himself as a gracious, loving Father who is worthy to be praised. Seek f...2024-02-0206 minKingdom WorkLooking Inward; Mark Chapter 7Send us a textBecause we live in a broken world, where sin is in our nature, we all fall short of God's Glory. This means that just as you and I are capable of hurting someone else’s feelings, it’s inevitable that someone will eventually hurt you or let you down. But in those moments, remember that it is not Jesus who hurt you, it’s sin and brokenness that causes us pain and it’s only through Him that we can actually find healing and wholeness.You are seen. You are known. You are...2024-02-0106 minKingdom WorkOrdinary People Doing Extraordinary Work For His Glory; Mark Chapter 6Send us a textMany times in scripture Jesus uses unlikely people to glorify God, and He can do the same with you and me. If you feel uncomfortable or unqualified, you’re not alone in feeling that. God used ordinary people all of the time to do extraordinary work for His Glory. Many people will doubt and criticize you, as they did to Jesus even in his hometown. But you are a beautiful creation in which God has a specific purpose. He will give you everything you need to fulfill the calling He places on your li...2024-01-3109 minKingdom WorkDon't Be Afraid. Just Have Faith; Mark Chapter 5Send us a textThe people in this chapter couldn’t deny Jesus' miracle working power after witnessing it themselves. Our God is a faithful God, and this means He STILL does miracles. If there is an area in your life that needs restoration or healing or breakthrough, just because He hasn't doesn't mean He can't or won't. Jesus is saying to you, "don't be afraid. Just have faith." So that's my prayer for you today. Trust God with everything you have, even if that's only a little bit. He can do a lot with a little. 2024-01-3006 minKingdom WorkPlanting Deep Roots; Mark Chapter 4Send us a textIf we don’t continually choose to seek God and choose to make him a priority, He won’t be. We’re selfish beings. And this is what the enemy feeds off of because he knows it’s natural for us to do what feels selfish. We have to continue to choose Jesus and plant deep roots of faith. This requires time planting our seed, spending time building a relationship with Jesus. Without a strong foundation in Christ, we’re in a much more vulnerable place when we're faced with challenges. Let's choose to "hear a...2024-01-2907 minKingdom WorkHealthy People Don't Need a Doctor- Sick People Do; Mark Chapters 2 & 3Send us a textJesus says, "I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” We don’t have to act like we have it altogether as if just because we're a Christian we never sin or we never get tempted to sin... That’s never going to be the case. God knows better and that is why we have salvation in Jesus. This is also an invitation to come to Jesus just as you are, not feeling the need to hide or cover anything up from Him. A...2024-01-2810 minKingdom WorkJesus Is Willing; Mark Chapter 1Send us a textA lot of people we read about in the bible cared more about the miracles and life transformation than what the miracle meant (who the Miracle was). They cared more about the healing than the Healer. I wonder if this is sometimes true in our own lives... The good news is, we serve a compassionate and loving Father who is willing to heal us even if we may not understand or recognize the big picture and meets us right where we are with His grace and mercy, every time.You are...2024-01-2808 minKingdom WorkFollow Me; John Chapter 21Send us a textThere are things that happen in life that we may not understand and let’s be honest, it hurts. Knowing Jesus is the only way we can experience fulness and peace without understanding. And through believing in Him and that He is the son of god, we can experience this for all of eternity. When He calls on your name, like He does with Peter in this chapter and says "follow me," are you willing to do it? He asks us to let go and trust and follow Him because His plans are so...2023-12-2706 minKingdom WorkBlessed Are Those Who Believe Without Seeing; John Chapters 19 & 20Send us a textToday's reading will go over the death and resurrection of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. After this, we see Thomas (one of Jesus' disciples) still doubting and claims that once he sees it, he'll believe it. I think we can tend to have the same attitude in our own lives. Jesus says "blessed are those who believe without seeing me." Let's pray to remain faithful in His goodness and allow our belief to be bigger than our doubt, even when we can't see. You are seen. You are known. You a...2023-12-2609 minKingdom WorkI Told You that I Am He; John Chapter 18Send us a textToday's reading consists of the Betrayal of Jesus and His arrest, Peter's denial of being one Jesus' disciples and the trial before the Roman Governor, Pilate. This ends with the freeing of a murderous rebel named Barabbas to please the Jewish leaders rather than doing what Pilate believed was right, which was to declare Jesus as innocent. We are reminded once again today that Jesus is Lord, and things are playing out exactly as He predicts. You are seen. You are known. You are loved. 2023-12-2407 minKingdom WorkThe Power in Jesus' Name; John Chapter 17Send us a textThere is a very real spiritual battle that we face every day, and a very real enemy who wants to destroy us and see us fail. The Lord tells us by the power in Jesus' name we are covered and protected and He tells us this so that we may have joy. By remaining in His love, we are able to experience unity with Christ which allows those around us to feel and experience His love so they may believe in Him. You are seen. You are known. You are loved. 2023-12-2306 minKingdom WorkTake Heart, for Jesus Has Overcome the World; John Chapters 15 & 16Send us a textWhen you feel isolated or like you don't fit in because of what you believe or how you choose to live your life, remember that this feels so different from everyone else because you belong to Jesus, and this world is not your home. Jesus knows the trials and sorrows we will face here on earth, but He says all of this so that we may have peace in Him. "...But take heart, because I have overcome the world." You are seen. You are known. You are loved. 2023-12-2008 minKingdom WorkGod's Promises; John Chapter 14Send us a textWe serve a good and faithful God, who is good on His promises. These things Jesus is promising to his disciples are not only true in their lives, but ours as well. He promises He is going to prepare a place for you. Ask Him for anything in His name, and He will do it. He will not abandon you. He leaves you with a gift of peace of mind and heart, that is a peace the world cannot give. He gives us the Holy Spirit as our Comforter, Encourager and Counselor. Let's medita...2023-12-1905 minKingdom WorkLove One Another As I Have Loved You; John Chapter 13Send us a textWhew, this one was difficult to get through. But, as Pastor Craig Groeschel says, if you miss a day (or week ;) don't miss two. This is a beautiful chapter with a significant message that Jesus teaches us through the washing of his disciples' feet. I pray that after today's reading, we would have the desire to be more like Jesus and a heart that wants to serve others as Jesus did. You are seen. You are known. You are loved. 2023-12-1807 minKingdom WorkDo You Love Human Praise More than the Praise from God? John Chapter 12Send us a textToday we read about 3 major events leading up to the Glorification of Jesus. The anointing of Jesus from Mary, Jesus’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and the prediction of his own death. After all of this, the disbelief/fear of openly believing in Jesus from the people and pharisees leads us to the question to reflect on in our daily lives: Do you love human praise more than the praise from God?You are seen. You are known. You are loved. 2023-12-1107 minKingdom WorkRemarkable Faith; John Chapter 11Send us a textIn today’s reading we’ll see the courage and supernatural power of Jesus and the remarkable faith of Mary, Martha, and Thomas who is nicknamed “the twin." They all believed in Jesus even when they didn't fully understand the bigger picture or have all of their questions answered. I believe each of us should strive and pray for an unshakeable faith like theirs. You are seen. You are known. You are loved. 2023-12-0707 minKingdom WorkThe Good Shepherd; John Chapter 10Send us a textGod is our Good Shepherd, meaning he will never abandon us. No one can snatch us from him, and we as his sheep are able to hear and recognize his voice and follow Him. There will be false teachings, lies and tactics from the enemy that's purpose is to steal, kill and destroy the promises of God over our lives but our Good Shepherd is far more powerful, and cares about all of us.You are seen. You are known. You are loved. 2023-12-0607 minKingdom WorkSpiritual Blindness; John Chapter 9Send us a textToday we read about Jesus healing a blind man, who had been blind his whole life for the purpose of the power of God to be seen through him. His miraculous healing continues to come with split opinions on Jesus being a blasphemous sinner, a prophet and truly the Son of God. What's your opinion on the healing power of Jesus? Are you or someone you know walking in spiritual blindness from the fact that Jesus actually healed many people in his time on earth and still performs miracles to this day? I...2023-12-0506 minKingdom WorkBeing Made Whole Through His Mercy; John Chapter 8Send us a textIn this story, Jesus shows us how he felt about sin. How he dealt with sin in the story and is the same way he approaches us today when it comes to our sin, which is with love and grace. This doesn’t mean that he agrees with what we are doing, nor can he ignore it because of how costly and deadly it is to us, he loves us too much to not take it seriously. He says anyone who sins (which is all of us,) is a slave to it. He wa...2023-12-0408 minKingdom WorkDo Not Be Ashamed, Be Bold and Courageous; John Chapter 7Send us a textIn John 7, we see yet again Jesus claiming He is sent by God to do the work of His Father who sent Him. Even in the face of adversary, we see Jesus speak boldly over these people that anyone who is thirsty, may come to Him. His heart is for people who need a savior, and when we believe in Him, His Spirit of living water will flow from our hearts and we will be forever saved. God doesn't want you to feel shame. Not about who you are or who He is. 2023-11-3007 minKingdom WorkFaith Over Fear; John Chapter 6Send us a textIf you're anything like me, you may sometimes let your fear be bigger than your faith, but if we stop and speak the truth of God over ourselves, even if it’s a small amount of faith, he always comes through. He is still the God that walked on water and fed 5,000. He is still the God of miracles. And that same God gives us eternal life through the blood of Jesus, who died for you. He loves you and He is for you.You are seen. You are known. You are lov...2023-11-2809 minKingdom Work"Would You Like to Get Well?" John Chapter 5Send us a textToday I encourage you to ask yourself, is there something you need deliverance from, that you keep giving yourself or God excuses as to why you can’t give it up and surrender fully to Him? Are you choosing to believe in the miraculous power of Jesus only when he answers your big prayers, or do you choose to believe Him simply because of who He is?You are seen. You are known. You are loved. 2023-11-2707 minKingdom WorkAnyone Can Cook; John Chapter 4Send us a textToday we are reminded that Jesus truly understands us. He feels our pain, and knows what you are going through. We also see Him push past cultural and societal norms in order for someone to hear and experience the love of Jesus, which redirected the course of her life and eternity (not only hers, but a whole village of people she witnessed to!) You are seen. You are known. You are loved. 2023-11-2608 minKingdom WorkThe Limitless Power of Jesus; John Chapters 2 & 3Send us a textYesterday we were introduced to John the baptist, and today we get to see how Jesus begins to prove evidence of his glory and identity by performing signs and miracles, and how this all points to the cross, the ultimate sacrifice He paid for our salvation.You are seen.

I'm so excited to be transitioning into a daily devotional, at least for right now I've felt God leading me into this direction for some time so I'm praying that it grows my faith as well as yours, provides some accountability and just an easy way to add in scripture reading to your daily routine. Depending on how long the chapters are, I will be doing 1 or 2 chapters a day, we'll go through one book at a time, and each episode will end with a question to ponder and reflect on...2023-11-2408 minKingdom WorkDeclaring Boldness Over Your FaithSend us a textI don't know about you but I am done listening to the enemy get into my head about certain things, it's truly just a distraction from the truth and from the purpose God has for my life. The sole purpose I am here is to share the love of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Which is what I’m called to do. As christ followers, we do not need to be ashamed of sharing the gospel. Let's share it often and with confidence! If you're a witness of God's faithfulness, the world nee...2023-09-2406 minKingdom WorkI Was Blind but Now I SeeSend us a textIn this episode, I talk about areas in my life I was "blind," in before allowing Jesus into my heart, and how a recent dream I had was a sweet reminder of the transformation He has done in my life. When we're focused on the wrong things, with the wrong perspective, we do become blind to so much beauty God offers us in this life. When we give our lives to God, we will see Him, ourselves, others and life completely different. And it's the most beautiful feeling. You are seen. Y...2023-07-1410 minKingdom WorkIn the Midst of ChaosSend us a textToday's episode is for anyone who's like me, and feels like your life can get hectic or chaotic, whether it's because you have a lot of things going on, duties and responsibilities, maybe you struggle with time management.. Or maybe it's your mind that feels chaotic because you're thinking of the 1 million things you need to get done but are too overwhelmed to actually do them. So, the main point for today is letting Jesus be your rest and peace, when everything else in your life feels anything but restful and peaceful.2023-06-1409 minKingdom WorkWho is God to You?

(Part 2)Send us a textSome of us have the luxury of growing up with loving parents who are happily married and set a healthy example of what marriage and parenthood can look like. A lot of us however, grow up with a different story. In this episode, my sweet dad is here with me to talk about who God was to him during childhood, raising a family as a single parent, and who God is to him today.

(Part 1)Send us a textAs I introduce the first episode of my new series, I invite several people in the next few weeks to answer this question, and as you listen each week I invite you to do the same. Ask yourself "Who is God to Me?" I believe the more questions we have for God about anything, but especially His character, it allows Him to reveal himself in really special ways. Don't be afraid to ask him to show you who He really is, He delights in you wanting to get to know Him! In this...2023-04-2628 minKingdom WorkGod Is Still Transforming Hearts; Even YoursSend us a textNo matter how hopeless we may feel or how far from the Lord someone may seem, (even if that someone is you) God is in constant pursuit of you.

I've felt like I couldn't be 100% myself with someone, like I had to hide parts of my personality in order to avoid awkwardness or discomfort.

In this episode, I talk about how loving people just as they are allows them to feel the love that Jesus has for each and every one of us. And if you're someone that's craving a sense of feeling wanted or seen or valued, in...2023-04-0614 minKingdom WorkDirectionally ChallengedSend us a textIf you're anything like me, you can find yourself asking God directional questions all the time.
