📖 “Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 3:12 KJV

There is something freeing about Paul’s honesty in this verse. He admits he has not “arrived.” He is not already perfect, and neither are we. Yet Paul does not stop there—he declares his pursuit of Christ, pressing forward to lay hold of the very purpose for which Christ laid hold of him.

This scripture reveals a powerful truth: our significance is not found in perfection, but in pursuit.

The Lie of Perfection

Lie-Locked Living tells us:

• “You are never enough.”

• “Unless you are perfect, you have no value.”

• “If you fall short, you are a failure.”

These lies create shame, striving, and discouragement. Many Christian women live chained to the idea that they must have it all together before God can use them.

But that is not truth.

The Truth in Christ

Paul reminds us that p...

“For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister.” — Mark 10:45 (KJV)

Love is more than words—it is expressed through action. In the language of relationships, one of the most powerful ways we communicate love is through Acts of Service: doing thoughtful, helpful things for those we care about.

When viewed through the lens of Scripture, serving others becomes a reflection of Christ Himself, who modeled humility and love through service. But if we are honest, this love language can sometimes get tangled in Lie-Locked Living, leaving us resentful, burned out, or feeling unappreciated.

🌿 What Is Acts of Service?

Acts of Service is a love language where love is shown through helpful actions:

• Doing chores to lighten your spouse’s load.

• Bringing a meal to a friend in need.

• Running errands or offering support during a busy season.

For those who value Acts of Service, love feels most real when it is demonstrated. While words matter, act...

Life Coaching vs. Therapy: Understanding the Difference and Choosing Your Path Forward

In today's world, personal growth and emotional health are more important than ever. But with so many options—therapy, counseling, coaching—it can be confusing to know which path is right for you. As a Christian woman desiring to grow, heal, and live with intention, it is important to understand how these approaches differ and when each one may serve you best.

What Is Therapy or Counseling?

Therapy (or counseling) is a clinical and healing-focused process. It is facilitated by a licensed mental health professional and often addresses emotional wounds, mental health disorders, and unresolved trauma.

Therapy helps individuals:

• Heal from past trauma

• Manage depression or anxiety

• Understand root causes of emotional patterns

• Improve coping skills and emotional regulation

As Psalm 147:3 (KJV) reminds us, "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." Therapy is a...

Faith at Work:

In today’s competitive business world, many entrepreneurs and executives wrestle with how to remain faithful to their beliefs while leading with excellence. The truth is, you do not have to compromise your Christian values to succeed in business. In fact, some of the most influential companies today have been built on biblical principles—and their integrity is part of what sets them apart.

🌟 Examples of Businesses Rooted in Christian Values

Here are a few successful businesses led by Christian leaders or known for upholding biblical principles:

1. Chick-fil-A

Known for closing on Sundays and prioritizing service and hospitality, Chick-fil-A reflects the vision of its late founder, Truett Cathy, who believed that honoring God in business was non-negotiable.

2. Hobby Lobby

David Green, the founder of Hobby Lobby, has made headlines for standing firm on Christian convictions while running one of the largest privately-owned arts and crafts retailers in the U.S.

3. I...

“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” — Galatians 3:26 (KJV)

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, you are not enough? Maybe you compare yourself to other women who seem more confident, more accomplished, or more “put together,” and you wonder if you will ever feel secure in who you are.

If so, you are not alone. Many Christian women wrestle with a quiet longing: “I want to be confident in who I am in Christ. I want to live out my gifts boldly without fear of judgment or comparison.”

The good news? You already have that confidence—it is found not in yourself, but in Jesus.

🌸 The Struggle: Lie-Locked Living in Identity

We live in a world constantly whispering lies:

• “You need to be more like her.”

• “If you were smarter, prettier, or stronger, you would be valuable.”

• “You are defined by what you do, not who you are.”

This is Lie-Locked Living—believing the enemy’s lies about our worth instead of God’s truth. These lies...

Cataract Awareness Month: 

“The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.” — Proverbs 20:12 (KJV)

August is Cataract Awareness Month, a time to focus on the importance of protecting our vision and maintaining lifelong eye health. As Christian women caring for our families, communities, and ministries, it is easy to put our own health on the back burner. Yet our vision is a precious gift from God—one that allows us to read His Word, see His creation, and connect deeply with those around us.

🌸 What Are Cataracts?

Cataracts are a clouding of the eye’s lens that leads to blurry vision, difficulty seeing at night, and increased sensitivity to light. They are common as we age, but awareness and prevention can significantly reduce their impact.

Key symptoms include:

• Cloudy or blurry vision

• Fading or yellowing of colors

• Difficulty reading or driving at night

• Frequent prescription changes in glasses

🕊️ Lie-Locked Living Around He...

“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” — James 4:8 (KJV)

In a busy, noisy world, it is easy for our faith to feel tucked into the margins of our lives. But God invites us into something deeper—an abiding relationship where His truth shapes not only our Sundays but our everyday decisions, conversations, and routines.

🌸 The Desire for Deeper Faith

Many Christian women feel this longing: “Lord, I want more of You.” You may be faithfully attending church or reading Scripture, but still sense a gap between knowing about God and truly experiencing Him in your daily walk.

The good news is this: God does not hide Himself from us. He promises that when we draw near to Him, He draws near to us (James 4:8). Strengthening faith is not about striving harder—it is about walking closer.

🕊️ Lie-Locked Living vs. Truth Mindset™

Sometimes we live in Lie-Locked Living, believing:

• “I am too busy to pray.”

• “I will never be spiritual enough.”

• “Faith is only for S...

📖 "According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death." – Philippians 1:20 (KJV)

🔥 Living Boldly for Christ

Fear has a way of silencing us. Doubt whispers, "What if you fail?" or "What if you are rejected?" Yet in Philippians 1:20, Paul declares his unshakable hope and expectation that Christ would be magnified in his life—no matter the cost.

This is more than courage; it is confidence rooted in Christ. Paul knew that his purpose was not tied to human approval but to glorifying Jesus in every circumstance—whether through living or dying.

For Christian women today, this verse calls us to be bold and brave. To live in such a way that Christ’s light shines through us unapologetically, even when culture pushes back or circumstances feel unstable.

🌸 Truth Mindset Shift

Boldness is not about loudness or personality. It is...

“Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another.” — Romans 12:10 (KJV)

One of the greatest joys—and challenges—of our Christian walk is learning how to love others well. God calls us to love deeply, but many of us struggle to express love in ways that truly connect.

This is where understanding The 5 Love Languages can transform relationships. When combined with a Truth Mindset™, this framework helps us break free from Lie-Locked Living—where false beliefs about love, worth, or connection keep us stuck—and empowers us to build meaningful, Christ-centered relationships.

🌸 What Are the 5 Love Languages?

Developed by Dr. Gary Chapman, the 5 Love Languages explain how people both give and receive love. Each language is a unique way of feeling loved and appreciated:

1️⃣ Words of Affirmation: Encouraging, uplifting words that speak life.
2️⃣ Acts of Service: Love expressed through helpful actions.
3️⃣ Receiving Gifts: Meaningful tokens t...

“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” — James 4:8 (KJV)

Do you ever wake up and feel like life is on repeat?

• The same routines.

• The same spiritual dry spells.

• The same longing for “more” but unsure how to get there.

If you are honest, you love God, but you feel like something is missing. You want deeper intimacy with Him, but your days feel cluttered, and personal growth feels stalled.

This is what I call “the stuck season.” And if that is where you are today, I want to tell you: you are not alone—and you do not have to stay there.

🌿 The Lie: “This Is Just the Way Life Is”

Many Christian women quietly resign themselves to this belief. They feel:

• Too busy to focus on God.

• Too unqualified to grow spiritually.

• Too overwhelmed to take new steps toward purpose.

This is lie-locked living. It is where false beliefs convince you that change is out of reach. But Scripture tells us otherwise:

“Behold, I will do a new thing; now...
