Growth doesn’t always look like a dramatic transformation overnight. Sometimes it looks like pausing before you respond the old way. Sometimes it looks like healing slowly, setting a boundary, saying no, choosing rest, or realizing you don’t have to prove you’re changing for it to be real. In this Monday Minute, Brooke shares from 2 Corinthians 5:17 and reminds us that becoming new in Christ is le...

Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Sometimes we want God to light up the whole road — the full plan, the next five years, the reason behind the waiting, the way everything is going to work out. But most of the time, He gives us enough light for the next step. And honestly? That’s where trust is built. This Monday Minute is a reminder that we don’t have to...

He is asking us to come to Him becaus...
