A Prayer for Worshiping Patiently

Funny enough, I thought about not posting a fruit of the Spirit prayer for worship this week. But that wouldn’t be very long-suffering of me, would it? That’s what patience boils down to: long-suffering. Bearing with one another. Enduring. Carrying on. Waiting it out. Persisting. So this weekend, let’s persist in prayer and praise, together.…

A Prayer for Worshiping Peacefully

I’ve been sick this week, which is never fun—especially when I know I still have to get up early and work on Sunday. But perhaps now more than when I’m well, it’s important to focus my heart and pray over tomorrow’s worship. God of all comfort, encourage us as we gather tomorrow (2 Cor. 1:3).…

Books I Can’t Wait to Read with My Children (Fiction)

Recently, I shared some of my mixed feelings about pregnancy. But I do genuinely love children and you know what I have always looked forward to? Reading with my kids. My childhood revolved around books. My mom was an English teacher, so I grew up immersed in words, words, words. My dad would frequently take…

A Prayer for Worshiping Joyfully

I cannot believe it is already Saturday afternoon. It feels like I barely finish Sunday services before I’m already back for another round. But even if time does not slow down, I hope you will join me in pausing briefly to pray over tomorrow’s worship. Our Lord, who made us to sing and who rejoices…

Boldly Singing “Son”

We sang “Be Thou My Vision” last week at church and, as always, I was curious to see which version of the second verse we would use. The traditional verse reads: Be thou my vision, and thou my true Word;I ever with thee, and thou with me, Lord.Thou my great Father and I thy true…

A Prayer for Worshiping Lovingly

Tomorrow is Sunday again, which means we have yet another opportunity to gather for worship and care for one another as the body of Christ. As I set my face toward Sunday, I am praying the following and would love for you to join me: God, who so loved the world that you sent your…

Supporting Women Who have Mixed Feelings about Pregnancy

I am going to say something very unpopular as a married Christian woman: I am not really a baby person. I believe that children are a gift from the Lord and that human life is valuable and worth protecting from its very beginning. I genuinely enjoy children; I just have never shared the bubbling-over baby-fever…

Platforms to Pillars: Trading the Burden of Performance for the Freedom of God’s Presence

I’m in the thick of researching platforms—digital and otherwise. As I do so, it is important to me to frame my research according to a biblical worldview. I do not just want to understand the operating systems behind digital platforms and the motivations behind personal platform building. Rather, I want to understand how platforms can…

A Prayer for Preparing to Lead Worship

I’ve been convicted lately that we pray before sermons and sacraments, but not before singing. Especially if you are a worship leader or volunteer, consider praying this little prayer along with me before your next service: Lord, establish now the work of our hands. Make them skillful, not that we might garner glory for ourselves,…
