We love the idea of faith… until faith asks us to move. To stretch. To release. To get uncomfortable. It won’t make sense. It won’t feel easy. But it will be worth it. If you’re stepping out of comfort and into calling, drop a 🔥 below. I want to pray over your next move.

The body, not the thinking brain, is where we experience most of our pain, pleasure, and joy, and where we process most of what happens to us. It is also where we do most of our healing, including our emotional and psychological healing.

Have you ever noticed how much energy you spend trying to control things that don't really matter? The narrative someone got wrong. The restaurant order that came out late. The way someone told your story. The need to set the record straight every single time. It feels like justice. It feels like it matters. But if you're honest, most of the time it's not about them at all. It's about you. And God keeps asking the same question: "Who is this really about?" The love of control is one of the most disordered loves we carry. And letting go of it might be the single most freeing thing you do this year. New episode out now. Ruling Your Domain Part 3.

I had a farm‑road fatality today. I was driving along when two grackles flew right in front of my car, barely two feet off the ground. One made it by the skin of its teeth, but the other disappeared into my grill. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw a single black feather drifting in the air. Later, I was talking to someone in their driveway and mentioned what happened. That's when the kind older Amish gentleman gently removed the bird from my grill and placed it in his field. I felt terrible — mostly for the bird he had been flying with when he suddenly disappeared. Maybe I’m a weirdo for feeling so bad, but I even prayed for the other bird. I researched grackles to see if they mate for life. They don’t. They “play the field,” so to speak, so they’re okay on their own. Still, this bird was beautiful. His blue and purple feathers shimmered like a gemstone. Boy oh boy, our God is so magnificent. He has placed so much life and beauty into all of creation, each in its own unique way. Luke 12:6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.” “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.” — Psalm 24:1 Job 12:10 “In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” Praise God. Even in something as small as a grackle’s feathers, His craftsmanship shines. And even in moments that feel sad or accidental, His care covers every living thing. —I am sorry. It’s been a long day. Good night and God bless everyone. Much love, Sister Christine ❤️
