I didn’t expect the year I asked God to grow me to be one of the hardest years I can remember. Looking back, I’m not sure what I thought would happen. Maybe a quiet deepening. A gentle stretching. Some new insight arriving on a Tuesday morning with my coffee, leaving me wiser and largely undisturbed. […]
We’ve covered a lot of ground this month, exploring the truths at the foundation of focus. We talked about distraction and the way it slips in quietly to scatter your peace before you even realize it’s happening.

Fear doesn’t always appear in your life, clear as day and easily identified. Sometimes it just shows up as a feeling you can’t shake. A low, persistent hum underneath everything else you’re doing, making you lose your focus. You go about your day, check your list, say the right things. But underneath it all, something […]
