Everyone I know has said it at least once this year: “Where is the time going?” But I’ve been sitting with a different question lately. Not “where is the time going,” but “when did we stop paying attention to it?” Because I don’t think time is actually disappearing. I think we are.

Verse & Vision | May 16, 2026
Verse and Vision is a daily series exploring the verse of the day — not just what it says, but what it means. Each post unpacks the biblical context, digs into the original language, and traces the historical and philosophical world behind the text. Where the Word echoes across history, we follow it. Where it lands in the present, we don’t look away.

The Map You Were Told to Ignore | The Author’s Perspective
It was five o’clock this morning when I fell down a rabbit hole about a 7th-century Chinese prophecy text and ended up face to face with something I think the church is dangerously close to missing. The Tui Bei Tu has outlasted emperors, purges, and censorship for 1,400 years. So has scripture. That is not a coincidence. That is a pattern. And patterns are exactly what prophecy is for.

Sunday Sessions | Mothers
God reaches for motherhood to describe the most tender dimension of His own love toward us. That is not accidental. And yet we live in a time when the nurturing instinct has been systematically taught out of women, traded for hardness and called liberation. What was lost in that exchange is something the world cannot name but feels the absence of everywhere it looks.
The Wrong Tragedy | A Newsletter Editorial
Ruby and Laura died in their 80s on a mission trip. The article called it a tragedy. It wasn’t. I’ll tell you what a tragedy actually looks like.
The Survival Manual I Almost Overlooked | The Author’s Perspective
I’ve been failing the test lately, with the weight of the world pressing down until it felt like water closing over my head. But God was determined to remind me of the survival manual He left us for times exactly like these. Through a stranger’s words on X, my mother’s “ghost,” and a chain of events that only make sense if He lined every single one up, God showed me how to stop carrying the wrong weight… and how to shift into the one posture that actually changes everything: counting it all joy.
It’s All Nonsense, Except Soul | Daily Bread
The people who are willing to honestly acknowledge when something feels deeply wrong are often the ones closest to real clarity. Not because discomfort or suffering is somehow noble in itself, but because the courage to sit with that unease, to follow the questions all the way down instead of numbing them or pushing them away, is exactly how truth begins to find us.
What Hard Seasons and Scripture Taught Me About Feelings | Daily Bread
Your brain is constantly scanning, analyzing, and assigning meaning to your circumstances, and then producing a feeling based on that interpretation. The feeling is real, but the interpretation is not always accurate. In short, our brains often lie to us. Feelings are data, but they are not always reliable data. This is not just theology. It is neuroscience. And it matters enormously for the Christian.
The Battle Within, The Rest Beyond | Spiritual Foundations for Healing
Healing is hard because it is a constant battle between your inner child, who is scared and just wants safety; your inner teenager, who is angry and just wants justice; and your current self, who is tired and just wants peace. In my experience, the only true solution to that battle is to surrender it to God and allow Him to work in your life, on His terms and in His time.
Jesus, Satan, and the Last Supper | Daily Bread
There is a moment in John 13 that most people read right past.
After Satan entered Judas, Jesus looked at him and said, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”
Jesus wasn’t speaking to Judas. Judas had already betrayed Him. Judas’ deal was already done. In that moment, Jesus was speaking directly to Satan, giving him permission to proceed. Satan was the one waiting for the word.
The enemy thought he was winning, but he was only ever doing what he was told. That understanding changes everything about how you read the cross… and if this hits you the way it hits me, it morphs your love, your respect, and the whole depth of your devotion to Him to levels you never imagined existed, and changes everything about how you praise Him.
Three Habits That Block God’s Voice | Daily Bread
There’s a particular kind of ache that comes when you feel like your prayers are hitting the ceiling. You’re not walking away from God. You’re calling out, but you can’t seem to hear Him.
The Bible doesn’t leave us without an answer to this experience. It tells us how to position ourselves to hear God, and if the problem is positioning, then the positioning can change.
