Parenting With Purpose | The Pressure To Be Nice

From childhood, girls are often told to be polite, agreeable, and accommodating — even at the expense of their own boundaries. This “nice girl” conditioning can mute voices, blur identity, and teach compliance over courage. But Jesus Himself wasn’t “nice” in the safe, sugar-coated sense — He was kind, truthful,…

Manhood | Understanding And Managing Stress

In a culture that rewards men for stoicism, “pushing through,” and silent endurance, stress often hides in plain sight. Many men internalize pressure until it leaks out as irritability, health problems, or burnout. True manhood isn’t about being bulletproof — it’s about knowing when to stand firm and when to…

Deep Dive | United In Prayer: The Church That Prays Together

In Acts 12, when Peter was in prison, the church didn’t just tweet about it or hold a strategy meeting—they prayed earnestly and together. And God shook the chains of Peter in the middle of the night. What would happen if the modern church returned to that kind of desperation?…

Deep Dive | United In Prayer: Shutting The Door On Division

Jesus said a house divided against itself cannot stand—and that includes prayer meetings. United prayer collapses when pride, unforgiveness, or hidden agendas creep in. How can we ask for a move of God while ignoring the gossip, jealousy, and offence sitting right next to us in the pew? Unity doesn’t…

SOP | The Great Hope 5: Everlasting Life

Death is one of the few guarantees in life—but for the believer, it’s not the end. It’s a pause. The promise of resurrection turns every funeral into a waiting room, not a goodbye. In a world that fears death and glorifies youth, God offers something better: eternity with Him. That’s…

In a culture that equates worth with relationship status, single women often feel like the odd ones out. But singlehood isn’t a season to survive—it’s a calling to live well. The challenge?

Deep Dive | United In Prayer: United Not Uniform

Unity in prayer doesn’t mean sameness—it means oneness of purpose. Different voices, accents, backgrounds, languages—and yet, one Spirit moving among them. The power of united prayer is not in perfect words but in united hearts. We don’t have to pray the same way, but we must agree on Who we’re…

SOP | The Great Hope 5: Everlasting Life

We throw the phrase around a lot—everlasting life—but have we truly paused to think about what it means? It’s not just living forever; it’s living free. Free from sin, pain, fear, and death. Eternal life isn't just quantity—its quality. And it starts now, not after death. Christ offers us a…

Parenting With Purpose | Feeling Left Out

Church should be the safest place for young girls to belong. But for some, it feels like a clique-filled maze of unspoken dress codes, popularity dynamics, or spiritual comparison. Some girls feel left out not because they don't love God, but because they don’t “fit” the social mould. Inclusion isn't…

Deep Dive | United In Prayer: When We Pray Together

There's something mysterious and powerful that happens when believers pray together. Jesus didn’t just say “when you pray”—He also said, “when two or three gather in My name...” (Matt. 18:20). United prayer multiplies faith, agreement, and spiritual authority. It’s not about louder voices. or longer sessions—it’s about alignment with heaven…

Family of Faith | Cultivating Gratitude and Contentment

It’s easy to want more—more money, more success, more stuff. But in families rooted in faith, gratitude is more than politeness—it’s a mindset that fuels joy.

Deep Dive | Courage and Faith: Faith That Moves Into The Unknown

Courage and faith often meet at the edge of the unknown. Whether it’s starting over, saying yes to a new calling, or trusting God when the map is blank, stepping into the unknown requires belief that He’s already there. Faith does not wait for guarantees. It moves forward because God…
