Helping Women Find Their Passion, Purpose and Power in Christ
As a Latina living in the Pacific Northwest, I often joke with my husband around this time of year that my DNA is not equipped for these cold and rainy, dark winters. While I love a good rain storm where I can curl up by the fire with a giant mug of coffee and work […]
I live in the Pacific Northwest and this time of year it is dark and dreary most of the time in the winter. Combine that with living in a world that can be full of hard things and difficult situations, it can leave us longing for there to be more to this life (and a longing […]
A little over a week ago marked the first day of autumn and the official changing of the seasons. I gleefully switched the sign on my front porch that says “Hey Friends!” To “Hello Fall” and hung a leafy fall wreath on my door. There’s something about this time of year that feels so refreshing. […]
This week, we are excited to have Jason Campbell, our Director of Theology (and Melissa’s husband), sharing with us.

Each of our children’s approaches and perspectives leads them to work through the intricacies of friendships in totally different ways. They are at different stages of identifying the characteristics of […]
With flowers popping up, and Easter just around the corner, the optimism of a new season is all around. Especially coming out of dark winter, the light and new life of spring offers a welcome reprieve, full of promise and hope. All this newness (and that extra hour of daylight) inspired me to do some […]
In God’s kingdom, extraordinary living can look a bit old school, especially if we measure it against the world’s standards. It can be hard to recognize the line between loving service and performance. The heroes of our faith are the individuals, the overcomers, who put one foot in front of the next and did only […]
Are you awake to God’s love for you? If your immediate response was to nod and think “Of course, I know God loves me”, I want to challenge you to dig a little deeper. Many of us are walking around acknowledging in our minds that God loves us, but do we truly believe and know deep in […]
