Mark 13:32–37 (Click to access the full text.) As this journey moves toward Holy Week, Jesus invites His followers to watch and stay awake. Not in fear, but in expectancy. The story is moving toward Jerusalem, toward the cross, and toward resurrection but the disciples do not yet fully understand what is coming. Jesus’ words remind us that faith is not passive waiting. It is attentive living. It is staying awake to what God is doing, even when we don’t fully grasp the outcom

The Bible says it… I believe it… that settles it. Have you ever heard that phrase? I recall seeing it on a bumper sticker years ago. Years ago, I would have agreed with that sentiment without question. Now, I think the Bible is doing much more than that.

Hebrews 5:7–9 (Click to access the full text.) Scripture tells us that Jesus learned obedience through suffering. This does not mean He was imperfect, but that He fully entered into the cost of faithfulness. Obedience can be costly, not because God desires our pain, but because love in a broken world often requires sacrifice. The cross invites us to trust that obedience even when difficult. God uses costly obedience to shape our hearts and deepen our dependence on Him. Refle

John 15:13 (Click to access the full text.) The cross reveals the depth of God’s love. Jesus does not give reluctantly. He gives fully. His love is not cautious or partial, it is complete. This kind of love reshapes how we understand sacrifice. Jesus’ death is not only an act of obedience, it is an expression of love. This season draws us into gratitude as we consider what Christ willingly gave for us. We are changed not by guilt, but by love poured out. Reflection Question:

Psalm 22:1–5 (Click to access the full text.) Jesus’ cry from the cross echoes the words of the psalmist: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” These words remind us that faith does not eliminate darkness. It endures within it. Even in lament, the psalmist remembers God’s faithfulness. Trust in the dark does not deny pain; it holds onto hope. This time of preparing for Easter invites us to bring our unanswered questions into God’s presence. God is not absent in the si

Luke 22:39–44 (Click to access the full text.) In the garden, Jesus prays honestly. He does not hide His anguish or pretend obedience is easy. He asks for another way and then entrusts Himself fully to the Father. This moment reveals that faithfulness does not require the absence of struggle. Surrender often includes wrestling. Trust is forged not in ease, but in honest dependence on God. The Easter season gives us permission to bring our whole selves before God - fear, doub

I drive my kids crazy sometimes because they will bring up topics in conversation that they are very passionate about and I don’t have much of an opinion on the matter. The other day the debate about soft serve ice cream vs. hand-dipped came up. I love both. A lot. I literally don’t have a preference. It’s not that I don’t listen or even that I don’t care about someone’s ice cream preference (ok, I probably don’t), but I just don’t dwell on topics that require energy I’d rath

Philippians 2:5–11 (Click to access the full text.) The way of Jesus is marked by humility. Though fully God, He did not cling to power or privilege. Instead, He chose the path, the path of self-giving love. Humility is not weakness. It is strength rooted in trust. Jesus trusted the Father enough to lay down His rights, knowing that obedience would ultimately lead to life. This season invites us to consider how we carry ourselves before God and others. The way of the cross b
