What the End Looks Like
By: Gabriela Yareliz Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. What does this time remind us of? Even when we are confused, God is doing His thing. Our confusion doesn’t mean a plan is halted.

Some Thursday Inspiration

I am tired of seeing Christian children killed in worship and going to school. I am tired of seeing law-abiding citizens get killed and criminals turned loose and defended.

The Violence of Growth

So I’ll ask you: how many times have you already died? And maybe… the next chapter of your growth is waiting for you on the other side of theContinue reading “The Violence of Growth”
Noise, Despacito

You don’t let me in there, you don’t let June in there, you don’t let your manager in there, you don’t let the record company people in there. You have to decide forContinue reading “Noise, Despacito”
