That’s not failure, my friend. It’s growth.

In the process, staying teachable made her freer. Being wrong isn’t the problem — staying wrong is! This episode is a shoutout to lifelong learning and the lost art of...2025-07-1805 min

Today's Kus WordTrinitarian House Music | The DanceText MicheleHave a Friday night Trinitarian dance party! You were not created to stand outside the circle of divine love, watching from a distance. You were made to join the dance! Baxter Kruger describes the Trinity not as a triangle of distant persons, but as a circle of shared life — Father, Son, and Spirit in eternal, joyful communion. This is perichoresis — a Greek word meaning mutual indwelling, often described as “a dance.” But here's the astonishing part: in Jesus, you’ve been swept into the cir...2025-05-1604 min

Today's Kus WordSpoken Word Meditation | The Trellis for Your Soul | The Rule of Life Series, Pt. 5Text MicheleWhen you hear the phrase “Rule of Life,” what do you imagine? Do you picture Mom’s chore chart or a dusty old monastic manual? Think again. In today’s spoken-word episode, we’re flipping the script on what you might think of as a Rule of Life.

Today's Kus WordCreating Sacred Space | The Rule of Life Series, Pt. 4Text MicheleSacred space isn’t found — it’s made. In today’s hustle culture, that’s a quiet act of rebellion. This micro-episode flips the script on spiritual growth by exposing two popular myths: that time automatically matures us, and that being around truth is the same as being transformed by it. Formation doesn’t happen by osmosis; it happens through intentional, grace-filled participation. What would happen if you made sacred space? We’re talking holy moments in ordinary places — your car, your kitchen, your evening walk. You don’t need candles or Gregorian chants...2025-04-3006 min
Today's Kus WordTime Doesn’t Equal Transformation | The Rule of Life Series, Pt. 3Text Michele“Time Doesn't Equal Transformation” cuts through one of the most pervasive myths in our spiritual journeys — that simply getting older means we're growing more spiritually mature. Sorry, but nope! Time doesn’t automatically grow your soul, but grace-filled participation does. In this punchy episode of Today’s Kus Word, we’re busting the myth that spiritual maturity just happens with the passing of time. Spoiler: you could have 85 trips around the sun and still be a spiritual toddler if you're not intentionally leaning into growth. Gray hair doesn't equal wisdom — and...2025-04-2904 min
