The Lord can be so sweet to us. Whether we’re in valleys or mountain tops, He is near and active. Just like how a few days ago He reminded me of exactly what truth I needed to hear. And maybe you need to hear it as well . . . I was in a heavyContinue reading “Lighten Up!”

Checking an item off the bucket list! My family and I made an impromptu trip to Bartlesville, OK, to see Rend Collective live in concert this past weekend!  I realize this is a more personal post, but it’s foundational to Holy Barre . . . trust me. Rend Collective’s music has been a core partContinue reading “Rend Collective”

Over the past year or so I’ve fallen in love with vineyards. While I do enjoy a delicious wine and cheese pairing, I am filled with awe and wonder at the pairing of Jesus’ imagery and His foundational truths.

I’ll be honest in that my initial reaction to this news was extreme and served as a powerful trigger to my own journey of struggles with body image. ThanksContinue reading “You’re BMI”

This year, some of us have been going through The Bible Recap. This is my first time to join this amazing and interesting plan, and while some parts are more engaging than others, jumping into the book of Daniel this week has been more intriguing than expected. For those of us who have grown upContinue reading “In the Fire”

It’s been quite a ride since our first gathering four years, and we know He’s just getting started! Will you join us on this journey of worship, workouts,Continue reading “Let’s Celebrate!”

I laugh realizing that this August has been one of the longest ‘back-to-school’ seasons for our family as the teacher and team assignments and the sharing of schedules have felt so drawn out. I know myself and so many are eager to get into our own rhythm. Yet through our recent YouVersion Bible plans andContinue reading “Have You Found Your Rhythm?”

Now that school is back in session, hopefully those of us with kids at home are having to use this phrase less often.
