What Happens When You Stop Pushing and Start Trusting
Push harder. Hustle more. Keep grinding. These are the mantras of a world addicted to performance. But what if the very thing you’re trying to achieve — peace, success, clarity — doesn’t come from pushing… but from trusting? I was a pusher. A planner. A go-getter. I liked control. I felt safe in results. And […]
Emotional Exhaustion is a Call to Surrender
There’s a tiredness that no sleep can fix. It creeps in slowly, like fog. One day you’re pushing through, running your list, checking your boxes — and the next, you’re sitting in your car wondering how you got there. You’re functioning. You’re present. But inside, you’re empty. That’s emotional exhaustion. And it’s not laziness. It’s […]
How Surrender Led to My Most Miraculous Breakthrough
We all love the idea of miracles — breakthroughs, turnarounds, divine interventions that change everything in a moment. But what we rarely talk about is what comes before the miracle: the moment of surrender. The most powerful breakthrough of my life didn’t come when I prayed harder. It didn’t come when I strategized better. It […]
When God Says “Be Still” — What That Really Means
“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10) It’s a beautiful verse, often quoted but rarely obeyed. For a long time, I misunderstood what it meant to be still. I thought it meant doing nothing, sitting quietly, waiting idly for something to happen. But in my personal journey, I discovered that God’s version […]
Reclaiming Power by Releasing Control
One of the most surprising things I’ve learned in my spiritual journey is this: True power comes from release, not control. For most of my life, I believed the opposite. I believed the more I controlled — my schedule, my relationships, my outcomes — the more powerful I became. I thought strength looked like having […]
5 Signs You’re Resisting What God is Trying to Heal
Have you ever found yourself praying for healing, but also resisting the very process that brings it? I didn’t realize I was doing it for years. I asked God to change me, restore me, fix the broken places inside — but only if it didn’t hurt too much. Only if it didn’t expose anything. Only […]
Why I Wrote “White Flagging”
People often ask why I wrote White Flagging. Was it a ministry assignment? A career move? A personal project? Honestly — it was survival. I wrote White Flagging from the trenches. From moments of real emotional collapse. From seasons where I felt unseen, unheard, and utterly exhausted by the weight of responsibility. This book wasn’t […]
Are You Spiritually Tired or Emotionally Ready to Release?
There’s a kind of tired that runs deeper than your muscles. It lives in your soul. You can sleep for eight hours, take a vacation, clear your calendar — and still feel it. That heaviness. That ache. That quiet voice inside whispering, “I can’t keep going like this.” It’s not physical exhaustion. It’s spiritual fatigue. […]
Lessons from the Cross: The Power of Yielding
No moment in history captures the tension between strength and surrender like the Cross. Here was Jesus — the Son of God, full of divine authority and supernatural power — allowing Himself to be mocked, beaten, and nailed to wood. At any moment, He could’ve stopped it. He could’ve summoned angels. He could’ve proven everyone […]
How Fighting Back Was Wrecking My Peace
I used to wear my toughness like a badge of honor. I didn’t back down. I didn’t walk away. I believed if I could fight hard enough — through disappointment, rejection, injustice — I’d win. But instead of victory, I found myself burned out, bitter, and bruised. The more I fought, the more I lost […]
