Why should we make sourdough? Why is it important to farm sustainably? I fanatically need to know not just "how-to", but "why?" When I was fired from the medical system with untreatable infertility I asked a lot of "why's". I found my answers revealed in God's original design (of us and nature)- we were both CREATED HEALTHY and are undeniably connected. My perspective as a Christian color my career as a plant scientist, certified herbalist, and author. My faith in the answers I found in natu ...

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Hannah made a deal with God for healing her infertility- that she would give the only thing she owned in the world right back to Him... for life! That meant that she would give Samuel away to Eli the priest to be raised. Eli, it turns out, may have been a decent priest, but he was an absolute disast…

What happened that day in that little house in the woods is not a debate. The evidence is all there. The blood, the wounds, the dead man lying on the floor of the living room. That night while the homeowner was watching TV - Clark Fredericks walked in, slashed at him with a hunting knife, stabbing him all over his chest, before finally slitting his…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! The meek and humble are said to inherit the earth, but I don't think that happens simply because of their character. There is an action that the meek and the humble take in relation to "the earth" that guarantees there is something to inherit. I think David captures it beautifully in Psalms 37. He s…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Are we ill because we (or someone in our family) sinned? When we're sick- does it mean we're "bad"? If we believe that God designed our bodies, we must accept that He knows how to make that design work best. If we further believe that sin is anything that goes against His will... any time we go our …

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! I'm sure you were encouraged as a kid to be careful who your friends were... that you might be trying to do the right thing, but if your friends were up to no good, you might get caught up in the mess? Unfortunately, it is all too human to want to fit in.. to be liked... and so it's pretty easy to m…

It’s a little strange for a eulogy to go viral especially when it’s not dedicated to a politician or celebrity that’s passed, but this eulogy is for the joint funeral of a couple Kristin and James Brock. Killed in their sleep while their two daughters slept just a few doors away. The killer is still on the loose. Kristin’s eldest daughter gives the…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! It's incredibly easy to consult ourselves when faced with life's choices. Sometimes we may feel like our problems are too trivial to bother God with... and sometimes we seek answers within ourselves because we like our answers better than God! The trouble with looking for our own answers... or askin…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Just because your mama prayed you into this world doesn’t mean you’re walking with God. ⠀ Samson had a calling on his life… but not much interest in answering it. Entitled. Impulsive. Reckless. Sound familiar? ⠀ His mom vowed him to God from the womb — but a personal relationship with the Lord isn’t…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Ever found yourself bargaining with God in a desperate moment?

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Ever find yourself saying, “What are the chances?” 🚪 A door opens. 📞 Someone calls at just the right time. 💬 A conversation answers a prayer you didn’t even speak aloud. When you’re walking the narrow path… these things don’t just happen. They’re not accidents. They’re assignments. What we call “coi…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! When things fall apart—we’re quick to hand it over: “God, please take this.” But when things start going right? We just as quickly take credit. 🚗 It’s like we want God to drive through the storms, but jump into the front seat the moment the skies clear. The truth? You can’t pick and choose when God …

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Good judgment isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you choose to grow. 📖 The Israelites—the very people God chose—are a living cautionary tale: They struggled with peer pressure. They gave in to fear. They wavered with the winds of culture and bad decisions. Sound familiar? The truth is:…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Did you grow up in a home with rules about swearing? I sure did! But here’s a question… Was it really about the words themselves— Or about the spirit behind them? 📖 Proverbs reminds us that our words have power— Not just to offend, but to heal or to harm. Harsh words can “dry the bones”… 💀 Leaving o…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! How do you know you’ve built your life on sinking sand instead of solid rock? 📖 The Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh chose land outside the Promised Land—land that looked good… but wasn’t where God had led them. And what happened? Suddenly, they needed to build witnesses and monuments…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Manasseh and Ephraim had plenty.

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Israel was told to clear the land—every last bit. But they didn’t. Some enemies were too strong. Some were “useful” as forced labor. Some were spared out of what may have felt like mercy or logic. Whatever the reason, the command wasn’t followed completely. And that compromise came at a cost. 💭 How …

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! 📖 “The sun stood still…” That’s what the Bible says happened when Joshua prayed. But how do we read that? 🧠 Was it poetic language? 🌍 Exaggeration? ✨ Or did it actually happen? For those of us who seek God both in His Word and in the science of His creation, this is one of the most challenging momen…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! “Take off your shoes, you’re standing on holy ground.” We’ve heard that line before—maybe it’s always sounded like a command for reverence. But what if it’s more than that? What if God wasn’t just demanding respect, but inviting connection? What if going barefoot on holy ground was about grounding— …

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! If you knew destruction was coming… Would you have the faith to stay? Rahab did. She believed in the God of Israel before she ever saw Him move. 🏹 She sheltered the spies. 🔴 She tied a ribbon in the window. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 She gathered her family close. But the army didn’t come the next day. Or the next. An…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! God gave us ears to hear. Eyes to see. A heart to feel. But He doesn’t force us to know Him. That’s our choice. 📖 Scripture says He set before us life and prosperity… or death and adversity. Not as punishment— But as the natural result of what we choose to pursue. 🧠 Will we harden our hearts with hu…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Where do you place your faith? 💰 Is it in money? 🏛️ Government? 💊 Medicine? God offers us a foundation—solid rock beneath our feet. But too often, we choose shifting sand instead, thinking it looks safer, faster, smarter. 📖 Scripture makes this clear: If we choose other gods, He will let us have the…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! We know God calls us to love our neighbor… But does that mean we’re responsible for their health? Their choices? Their outcomes? It’s a tricky line. Some take on too much—neglecting their own calling to try and “save” others. Others care so little for themselves, they’re not equipped to care for any…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! As the Israelites prepared to enter the Promised Land, God made the choice clear: ✨ Blessing or curse. Not random punishment—just the natural result of whether they chose to follow Him or not. 📖 “Serve the Lord with joy and gladness…” and you’ll see life, fruitfulness, and peace. Reject Him… and you…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Imagine this: You’re grazing in a green pasture, head down, no fear, no tension. Why?

But instead, most of us live tan…

Thursday morning felt like we were seeing something we weren't supposed to be seeing… Sean Combs is sitting in his normal spot and the entire defense team fall into formation like soldiers at attention.

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Ever stop long enough to really look at what’s around you? 🌳 The structure of a leaf. 🌾 The way soil heals itself. 🕊️ The perfect rhythm of day and night.

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! One of the clearest themes in Scripture—and in nature—is this: 🌱 Take care of your home first.

But that’s not …

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! We have a lot to learn from trees. First we would do a lot of good to stop putting our own values on forest systems and stand back to observe first. If we did, we would see that there is a purpose for dead trees that we are missing- and it is a great model of how to take care of our local community.…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! In Deuteronomy, Moses warned the Israelites: ⚠️ Stay away from spiritism. ⚠️ Do not worship the sun, moon, or other gods. ⚠️ Test every prophet against the truth of God. But somewhere along the way, confusion crept in. Today, many Christians fear any connection to nature-based healing— As if all her…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! The Israelites never moved—never traveled, never went to war—without God's presence going first. But once, they tried. They went up into the land without Him… And were routed. So when David says, “I keep the Lord always before me,” He’s not being poetic. He’s giving us a survival strategy. 🕊️ Keepin…

During a sidebar for the case of USA v. Sean Combs - the judge tells the defense attorneys: “Well, that is victim blaming. That is literally that's like if you had a dictionary that had a term victim blaming, like that would be the explanation that you'd be given, so it can't be that. It has to be something else.” He clarifies that they themselves …

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! In today’s world, we’re constantly told to “think globally.” 🌍 Worry about crises everywhere. Spread your attention thin.

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! The Promised Land came with a catch: 🌧️ Water would fall from the sky.

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! We’ve all heard it—or thought it: 🟠 “It must be safe… it’s on the shelf.” 🍭 “If neon-colored food was really harmful, someone would’ve stopped it.” 👀 “If God didn’t want me to do this, wouldn’t He stop me?” But here’s the hard truth: God doesn’t always strike people down in the parking lot for rebel…

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Health and fertility weren’t promised to God’s people as a reward… 🌾 They were the natural result of walking in obedience.

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! If everything in nature is good… 🌳 Why would Jesus curse a fig tree?

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Did you know that God gave specific instructions for how cities should be built? Not just where—but how.

I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts! Imagine standing just minutes from receiving everything God promised… But instead of stepping into it, 🐦 You settle for what’s in front of you.
