There is validity in some of it, but it’s all missing the most essential component of all. The one thing that will hel...

“I just need to get through this, and then…” If You’ve ever said that this is for you. I have noticed this propensity inside of me to seek comfort as the ultimate goal.

Yet the Bible has something different to say, and this lie actually causes us to...

How will you respond to Him?  Love, Brittany   Ready to go deepe...

Culture right now is all about the self! Self-care, self-love, self-help, selfies!! These can seem good on the surface, but if you dig into them they are directing us in the wrong way.

Listen to find out which side you’re allowing to define your life!  Love, Britta...
