A Prayer for Worshiping Kindly
It’s Saturday, which means it’s time for another worship prayer based on the fruit of the Spirit. “Kindness: Tuning to Usefulness” was one of my favorite chapters to write in Spirit-filled Singing. I hope the following prayer, based loosely on that chapter, encourages your heart and focuses your mind as you prepare for worship: Heavenly Continue reading

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. Continue reading

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). Continue reading

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 Continue reading

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 Continue reading

Why Say the Lord’s Prayer Together?
At the church where I work, we say the Lord’s Prayer every Sunday as a key part of the liturgy. At the church where I am a member and my husband is Lead Pastor, we have started saying the Lord’s Prayer as a way to conclude our services. This has been met with mostly positive Continue reading

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 Continue reading

Thanks to My Endorsers
I spent 2023 learning about publishing and obsessively refining my book proposal for Spirit-Filled Singing: Bearing Fruit as We Worship Together. Then, when I had the joy of signing a contract with Crossway, I spent 2024 deep in drafting and revising my manuscript. Throughout 2025, I’ve had the delight of watching everything else come together—from Continue reading

Where better to start than with this acclaimed book on digital wisdom by author, blogger, and editor, Samuel James?

The Worst Parts of Church Are Why You Need to Go
I recently watched a truly outstanding church live-stream. The camerawork captured the lighting and staging so well that my first thought was, “There is no way the in-person experience is as good as this.” Even the music—notoriously tough to transmit online—was stellar. It was as clear through the speakers of my TV as it would Continue reading
