Are you hiding behind a 'good Christian' mask? In this blog I share my raw journey of confronting spiritual facades and discovering why God can't heal what we conceal. Learn how Matthew 25 exposed my religious performance and how consecrated honesty transformed my faith. Embrace the courage to be vulnerable before God and experience the healing that only authenticity brings.

Will we know and love each other in heaven? In Matthew 22, Jesus reveals a surprising truth about our relationships beyond death—one that challenges assumptions and offers profound hope. Discover what Scripture says about love, connection, and the eternal bonds we share.

One major sign I see in those who are practicing superstition—rather than discerning God’s mind about a matter—is that they become utterly stuck. What often begins as a pure desire to hear God’s voice and walk in obedience gets hijacked by a fear of missing His will or an urgency to rush His timing.

Somewhere along the way, we traded honest faith for looking right and sounding right. We became more superstitious than spiritual—managing perceptions instead of revealing our real selves. But spirituality was never meant to be a performance. It’s the overflow of a real relationship with the Holy Spirit. The most spiritual thing you’ll ever do? Love someone when it’s not easy. And that starts with dropping the act and stepping into real, vulnerable, wholehearted faith.

So how can you tell when correction is truly from the heart of Jesus versus when it’s tainted by unresolved offense? Here are some markers I’ve noticed when exposed to Godly correction:

For reasons I could name (but am too lazy to discuss because I want to confess something else), a gathering of the prophetically gifted can expose just how orphan-minded the church operates. And let me tell you—The School of Prophets at Bethel was no exception.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. – Psalm 20:7

Here’s the thing—God never said He wouldn’t give you a horse or a chariot. He just asked where your trust would be when He did.

I have to testify.

As I reflected on all of this, I realized that Holy Spirit wasn’t just giving me a lesson in vocabulary—He was giving me an invitation. An invitation to listen more deeply, to pay attention when He highlights something, and to embrace my prophetic nature as a child of God.

We were created to hear Him. It’s how we take hold of His promises, how we become His hands to those around us, and how we partner with Him in restoring families, cities, and the world.

So, I challenge you…

Who doesn’t want to step forward with intentions of progress and accomplishment? That kind of mindset is both healthy and achievable—so long as we don’t allow idealism to sabotage our first steps.

On our one year wedding anniversary, my husband introduced me to porn. While I was slicing up the top tier of our wedding cake that had been so perfectly preserved just for this occasion, he was planning to invite me in on an addiction that he’d held secret since childhood.
