Can you actually believe it? We made it, friends — because He never fails to make the miracle of it happen, year after year! It’s Spring!

When you hold in your hands an only hours-old human being… undone!
Join us for the final weeks of Living Loved?
If you’ve been thinking that maybe what we all need right now is a just bit more love, you’re in exactly the right place! This is your invitation into more… into LIVING LOVED: A 40-Day Practice in Loving like Jesus
We got to sit down and chat with Jennifer Rothschild and David Platt this week
It’s never too late, friends! Join today and you’ll have access to our entire 40-day journey, which you can explore at your own pace.
—> A daily audio clip where I’ll quietly read Scripture with you, as we journey through the Gospel of John together, walking every step with Jesus: listening to the testimony of “the one whom Jesus loved” – as we lean into Jesus, and feel how deeply loved we are – beyond imagining!
—> As you listen, consider hanging your corresponding Easter Tree Ornament as you listen (more about that below!). A beautifully designed reflection from Loved to Life — an invitation to meditate, perhaps save it to your phone and return to it throughout the day. Allow Love Himself to meet you as begin to let the tender places in you feel the depth of His unconditional love for you…
—> Our weekly Real Love Memory Verse. Throughout the next 40 days, we’ll memorize what Love truly is, from one of the most powerful, needful Scriptures in the whole of the Bible: 1 Corinthians 13. During the next 40 days, we are going to truly feel love and truly be love.
—> Your own Visual Love Pilgrimage — an immersive experience of masterful art, Scripture, journaling, and prayer, where you can gaze at a classic work of art while considering the Love of Christ. Spend a few times looking at the art, undistracted, and use the journaling prompts to help you see and experience Love more deeply and clearly.
—> And a daily Identity in Christ affirmation, with a whole set of 24 cards you can print, to begin to feel how loved and cherished you and who you really are in Christ – nothing has changed me like knowing who I am in Christ … beloved!
—> And each Sunday evening of our 40-Day Pilgrimage? Lord willing, we’ll gather together, you and I, face-to-face! Yes, Weekly Livestream Community gatherings are back! Let’s let go of all kinds of lonely feelings, and our sense of isolation, and together connect, in face-to-face moments of encouragement, prayer, and wisdom, with very special guests every week!
Would you love to feel really loved – and really be love? I will personally ensure you’ll get all of this beauty each day, tucked with all my love, right into your hands… just click here…
you can’t help but smile:
The Best!
Such Worship!
Just…WOW!
Sooo Adorable!
Collide: Running Into Healing When Life Hands You Hurt invites women to stop running from the hurt we avoid and instead run into a God who can handle and heal it. Rooted in raw and real storytelling alongside Scripture, this book explores how healing begins not by avoiding hurt but by allowing Jesus to enter it. Collide is an invitation to consider: What if healing your hurt is possible? And what if your healing could even help heal the hurting people you love?
As a former journalist and women’s ministry director, Laurie Davies knows the burdens that weigh women down. In the pages of Emotional Hoarding, she finds that hoarded hearts are an awful lot like hoarded homes. At first, it’s just clutter, but left unaddressed, emotional stuff spills everywhere. Soon, entire “rooms” of our heart stop working right. Scripture offers freedom from all that.
Join us for our annual Refresh Conference as we focus on living in God’s goodness—even through seasons of pain and uncertainty.
THIS GRATITUDE JOURNAL IS LIFE-CHANGING: Gifts & Gratitudes gently helps grow trust in a God who doesn’t always explain our suffering but who always enters into it with us.
When you don’t know what or who to count on tomorrow… if you start counting Gifts & Gratitudes — your eyes… and heart… begin to open to Who you can always count on…. especially on the hardest days.
We watched this again and again!
Cain the Band with 2 minutes of worship!
…and we loved watching Hannah Harper preach!
Wishing you a week with room for fresh air, deeper hope, and the gentle reminder that the same God who brings spring also brings new life to us.
That’s all for this weekend, friends.
Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.
Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
Share Whatever Is Good.
