Trusting the Process: God is the Potter

So, I’ve been reading Christine Hoover’s Searching for Spring, right?  I wrote this post referencing her book and I promised I would share some more of it with you.  I love when I read something and things finally make sense.  Like, when God is the Potter and we are the clay.  I’ve heard that reference a thousand times, but I don’t think I’ve ever truly understood what it meant until now.  Which, is a shame.  You’d think I would’ve understood a long time ago.

Keep reading, you’ll see what I mean in a second.

(Quick side note: Christine’s Searching for Spring has officially launched.  You can purchase a copy here!  10/10 would recommend.) [Read more…]

How to Make Disciples and Grow the Kingdom

The week before last, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with the author of a new commentary, Genuine Christianity.  Justin Miller, the author, is Lead Pastor of his church in Puxico, Missouri.  He also trains pastors to go out into the world and plant and revitalize churches.  What I didn’t know at the time of signing up to interview him was that his book focused on Paul’s letter to Titus.  And if you know me, Titus is my absolute favorite book of the Bible.  Short, yes.  But, it is also a great directive on how the Church should operate.  Not to mention, how the Church can make disciples and grow the kingdom.

Justin Miller and Genuine Christianity

While Justin is now currently the Lead Pastor of his church, his story of how he got there is amazing.  Justin told me when he was eleven, he asked someone to buy him a Bible.  The next year or so later, he was baptized, but never truly understood what grace or salvation was.  Justin was one of those kids that thought God was just ready to judge him and condemn him for every little thing.  I’m sure we, ourselves, can relate.  But, we also know that God is good and He doesn’t do that.  Salvation- true salvation– is a great thing, friend!

Review: A Very Thankful Prayer + Giveaway

Alright, friends.  By now, there’s a good chance you know my sweet momma is a Sunday school teacher.  I’m really not exaggerating when I say that Sunday school is a pretty big deal around the Wilson household.  In some way, shape, or form, all five of us have had a hand in prepping for her lessons.  For me, sometimes that includes reviewing books for her class, such as A Very Thankful Prayer by Bonnie Richner.

My momma puts countless hours into each Sunday school lesson that she teaches to her Primary class.  Her lessons are definitely not thrown together at the last minute.

And, friend, I bet you’re wondering why she spends so much time on one lesson, right? [Read more…]

Unsinkable Faith + Giveaway

You may remember me talking about one of my favorite scriptures a few weeks ago, 1 Corinthians 14:10.  In that post, I shared with you how the words that we speak to others can either be harmful or hurtful.  Friend, that’s not what I intended to share about when considering that particular scripture.  But, sometimes when I sit down to write, God leads me in a different direction.  And that’s okay, too.  But, my recent review of Unsinkable Faith by Tracie Miles brought me back to my original thoughts on that scripture.

Now, I want to share with you something else about that verse.

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.  

1 Corinthians 14:10

Ever have those days where you really just cannot shake the negativity running rampant through your mind?

Negativity is Overwhelming

I’m not good enough.

No one loves me.

God has forgotten me.

I am worthless.

Friend, those are lies. Every. Single. One. Of. Them. [Read more…]
