Faithfulness: Stewardship Still Matters “Well done, good and faithful servant… You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.” — Matthew 25:23 This week, I was reminded of something my mother used to tell me: “Never take on more than you can handle.” It sounded so simple back then. But now, I realize that she was teaching me about stewardship — the kind that’s less about money and more about managing the weight of responsibility, the integrity of our word, and the condition of our heart....

And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.” — Edward Everett Hale My mother loved this quote.

The trip was a much-needed pause, a time to breathe, reflect, and reset before stepping back into the rhythm of life. Somewhere between the waves and the quiet mornings at sea, I found myself thinking about one word that keeps echoing back to me: …...

Week One: The App of Mentorship When you download an app, you expect it to serve a purpose—something that makes life easier, more organized, or more connected. I’ve been thinking about how this metaphor applies to life. Are there “apps” for our spiritual and emotional growth? I believe there are. This week’s app is Mentorship. Lately, I’ve realized how deeply I miss the kind of relationships that pour into me without expectation....

Yesterday marked another shift in my heart as I considered what it means to live with a “new normal” after the loss of loved ones. My mother left us at 72, and my aunt at 71. None of us knows the day or the hour—that is Scripture—but the reality of their passing weighs on me. My brother and I spoke just yesterday about longevity and how it presses us to reflect on the way we live our own lives....
