Followed By Mercy

Send us Fan Mail At some point, you've probably asked yourself: who is God, really—beneath the layers of religious tradition, church talk, and cultural noise? This isn't just a theological question; it's a personal one. And in Exodus 34, God answers it Himself. When He speaks to Moses, He doesn't offer a lecture or a list of demands. He gives a self-portrait. And what does He h...

Send us Fan Mail Do you ever feel like your past owns you? Like your mistakes follow you everywhere and define who you are? This message will change that. When God the Father looks at you, He doesn’t see your failures. He sees His child, fully forgiven and deeply loved. Take Rahab, for example—the woman called a harlot in the Old Testament. Yet later, she’s in Jesus’ family line without mentioning...

Send us Fan Mail What if the God you were taught to fear is far more patient than you ever imagined? A lot of us carry around this idea of God as someone with a short fuse—quick to judge, faster to punish. But when you look closely at scripture, that picture falls apart. God didn’t lead with power or wrath when he introduced himself to Moses. He said he’s “long-suffering.” In Hebrew, that phrase p...

Send us Fan Mail Do you really know who your Shepherd is? Many of us grew up with a distorted picture of God—distant, disappointed, always watching for us to mess up. But what if that image isn't just off—it's completely wrong? Psalm 23 opens with a game-changer: "The Lord is my shepherd." That's not just a poetic line. It's a radical shift in perspective. David wasn&...

Send us Fan Mail Mercy Is My Shepherd What if misunderstandings have shaped your entire view of God? The opening line of Psalm 23— “The Lord is my shepherd” —isn’t just comforting; it’s confrontational. It asks: Do you really know who this “Lord” is? David wrote those words while on the run—likely hiding from his own son Absalom, who wanted him dead. In that moment of fear and betrayal, David didn...

His heart is heavy with regret...

And in the silence of night, when no one’s around, the darkest thoughts show up: God doesn’t love me. I’m going to...
