Faith as an Act of Will: 3 Ways to Keep the Faith When Life Gets Rough

Faith takes work. It is not spelled out for you, nor is it handed to you on a silver platter. It’s not just about proclaiming faith but living it.

Faith gets thrown around a lot. Yet, it is the lifeblood of the Christian Church. More importantly, perhaps, on a personal level, it is the glue that holds us together and will very often step in when things get shaken up or when our lives seem lost. Doubt is normal and it will creep in […]

Overcoming Suffering: The Freedom of Forgiveness and Faith

One of the biggest and most difficult questions that plague a lot of Christians is the question of achieving true unshakable unfaltering faith.

Finding Light In Our Grief: Turning to God in the Darkest Moments

Life is full of trials and tribulations. We’ve all had moments where we turn to God in our silence or when we turn off the lights at the end of the day and ask, “Why?” The days might seem too much. At the time of this writing, the world was still in the middle of […]
