Thinking in Generations, Not Just Seasons

Sabbath Resistance

Our dear friend Roma Waterman recently shared… The Sabbath is something we rarely do well in our fast-paced culture. Yet Scripture doesn’t treat it as a suggestion—it’s a commandment, spoken not once but twice (Exodus 20:8–11; Deuteronomy 5:12–15). Sabbath is not just about rest—it is resistance. It’s not a polite pause, but a bold declaration: I…

Covered in the Dust of the Rabbi

In ancient Jewish tradition, disciples would follow their rabbi so closely that the dust from his sandals would cling to their clothes. The Mishnah says, “Sit in the dust of their feet, and drink in their words with thirst.” What a powerful picture of discipleship! When Jesus called His first followers, He didn’t hand them…

When You Lose A Lot

“After Lot separated from him, Yahweh spoke to Abram, ‘Lift up your eyes and look…’” Genesis 13:14–17 TPT Loss is rarely comfortable, but in God’s Kingdom it often becomes the doorway to increase.

Trusting The Unshakable God

“Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.” (Prov. 16:20 NET) Trust is not just a feeling; it is a deliberate choice to lean the full weight of our lives on God’s promises.

It Will Unfold

“Then Abram journeyed from there by stages through the southern desert region.” Genesis 12:9 TPT Life doesn’t happen all at once—it unfolds in stages.
