Some gifts don’t seem life-changing at first—until the moment you truly need them, and they become essential. Grace is just like that: quietly given, often misunderstood, but when it meets us in our weakness, it transforms everything.

I used to think credit was something you earned—until I realized grace works the opposite way. God’s favor isn’t a transaction we qualify for; it’s a gift we receive, and it changes everything.

My friend Brandi says with a grin, “I’m God’s favorite”—and honestly, she’s not wrong, lol. The truth is we are all favored, chosen, approved, and blessed by God. God’s favor isn’t about earning a spot; it’s about grace that feels almost unfair in its generosity, and it’s offered freely to every one of us.

Grace, joy, and thanksgiving aren’t just beautiful words—they’re deeply intertwined gifts from God that invite us into a fuller life. This week, we’re peeling back the layers of charis to discover how grace, once tangled with shame, is actually meant to overflow with delight.

Let’s be honest—gratitude isn’t always easy, especially when life feels heavy, uncertain, or unfair. But scripture shows us that even in grief, anxiety, and judgment, gratitude can be a steady rhythm that draws us closer to God and helps us hold on to hope.

Traveling with a toddler tested every ounce of patience I had—but it also revealed how gratitude can transform even the most stressful day. Just like King Jehoshaphat sending singers ahead of the army, praise and thanksgiving can lead us through chaos into peace.

Gratitude has the power to do more than express thanks—it can restore dignity, heal relationships, and tear down walls of exclusion. In the story of the ten healed men, it was the outsider’s gratitude that brought him not just healing, but wholeness and connection with Jesus.

Gratitude isn’t just for holidays—it’s woven into the very heart of our faith, especially when we gather at the table. In communion, we remember that Jesus gave thanks before breaking bread, showing us that gratitude is the doorway to deeper connection, both with each other and with God.

As someone who’s perpetually five minutes late and constantly grateful for grace, I’ve come to deeply appreciate the power of patience—especially the kind that doesn’t flinch or flare up. Today we’re wrapping up our Colossians 3 wardrobe series with the final piece: patience, a Spirit-grown virtue that reflects the long-tempered love of God Himself.

When you think of gentleness, maybe you picture soft voices, patient hearts, or even the calm of Sesame Street—but did you know gentleness is also a divine trait woven into the character of Jesus? Today we’re exploring how Colossians 3:12 invites us to put on gentleness daily, not by striving harder, but by leaning into the Spirit who gently shapes us to reflect the heart of Christ.

In a world where power often demands without giving, Jesus flips the script—He lived out every command He asks of us, starting with humility. Today we’re diving into Colossians 3 and Philippians 2 to explore how Christ’s example of emptying Himself invites us to live with gentleness, approachability, and a heart that makes space for others.

Kindness sounds simple—until you're tired, overwhelmed, or just plain hangry. But Colossians 3:12 reminds us that kindness isn’t just a mood; it’s a calling, a divine garment we’re invited to put on daily through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Before I hit record in my cozy closet studio (yes, really), I go through my own quirky prep routine—but today, we’re talking about a different kind of “getting ready.” In Colossians 3, we’re reminded to clothe ourselves daily in compassion, because we’ve been made new in Christ and called to reflect His heart to the world. Let's dig in.

After the resurrection, Jesus didn’t just speak peace—He breathed it, symbolically imparting the Spirit that would soon empower His followers to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth. That breath, like wind and fire, marked the beginning of a Spirit-filled movement where ordinary people became vessels of extraordinary grace.

Connection begins with compassion, and Jesus modeled this perfectly—stepping into our humanity, walking with us, and identifying with our struggles. When we choose to be present with others, led by the Spirit and grounded in truth, we reflect the heart of God and build bridges that heal and restore.

Spiritual leadership isn’t about charisma or credentials—it’s about being Spirit-filled and Spirit-led, willing to walk with others in truth, grace, and wisdom. From Joshua to Gideon, Scripture shows us that God equips ordinary people with extraordinary presence to guide, heal, and build His Kingdom.

It’s easy to downplay our gifts, but Scripture reminds us that God doesn’t make creative mistakes—He equips each of us with Spirit-filled talents for a purpose. When we embrace what He’s placed in us, we step into the sacred work of building His Kingdom, one Spirit-led act at a time.

For much of my life, the Holy Spirit felt distant—mysterious, misunderstood, and seemingly reserved for the pages of early church history. But as I’ve come to know the Spirit as the very breath of God, hovering over creation and actively shaping our spiritual lives today, I’ve discovered a tender, powerful presence that transforms striving into abiding.

Whether you’re squeamish or strong-stomached, Jesus’s words in John 6 are hard to swallow—literally and spiritually. But beneath the shock is a deeper truth: through His body and blood, Jesus offers us lasting nourishment, a new covenant, and eternal life.
