Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know!

A season of physical limitation becomes a classroom for prayer and listening, where unexpected dreams get loud and 1 Peter 2:9–10 lands with fresh weight: chosen people, royal priesthood, holy nation, God’s special possession. Identity is not an accessory; it’s the operating system.

We explore the priestly pattern in everyday life: standing in God’s presence while standing with people, ready to pray simple prayers, offer honest encouragement, and speak when the door opens. The focus isn’t self-display; it’s attentive availability. Jesus sets the pace—unhurried, interruptible, and confident that life flows outward. Hurry shrinks our vision and fuels anxiety; belonging quiets the soul and widens the field of love. That calm doesn’t make us passive. It frees agency. We stop obsessing over doing the right thing and begin doing the next faithful thing with God.

Hearing God isn’t an elite skill but a lifelong apprenticeship anyone can grow in through humility and attention. As hope rises, influence follows. We’re not of the world, so we don’t mirror its despair. We carry a steady, joyful witness: tell what He’s done, proclaim His excellencies, and expect Him to show up in mundane spaces.
