Fierce & Fearless

She’s not going back. This is one of those crossroads. She knows the Lord is speaking to her heart—encouraging her to hold fast to the ground…

She can’t seem to step off the treadmill of life … hours pass by in a blur, and one appointment folds into another. In her busyness, she becomes blind to the majesty of her Maker. Guilt is quick to rush to her aid and…

Has she allowed the enemy to hijack God’s plan for her life?

Let not your heart be troubled. Easier said than done, I thought, rushing from one appointment to the next.

Nothing was wrong. I was just busy. With busyness comes distractions, and with distractions comes wrong-thinking. My mind becomes entrapped by the cares of this world, and before long…

Do you sometimes find yourself moving about in a daze—mindlessly going through the motions? Traveling down the same roads, walking across the same streets, and even moving in and out of the same rooms without so much as a thought of how you arrived?

Today as I drove to the office a loud, lengthy, and unexpected horn blasted into my thoughts, causing my mind to scramble and heart to leap in my chest. It was the sound of a …

We’ve all experienced pain caused by the words of another person. While we can’t control what comes out of another person’s mouth, we can control our reaction to those words. Words only have as much power as we give them. If only it were so …

In the Wonder Woman movie, Antiope is the Amazon Army General and aunt to Diana, (Wonder Woman). Antiope is fierce, she is fearless, and she is a spectacular warrior. While Antiope is teaching a younger Diana how to fight, the two enter a sparring match. When General Antiope exposes the gaps in her student’s sparing skills, she tells Diana, “You are stronger than this, Diana!”

God has been good to me. He has loved me when others rejected me. He has comforted me when others looked the other way. And, He has chastised me when I have treated people unkindly or walked in rebellion. Yes, that is His goodness, too. Most likely, you have experienced the same.

We would like to think that Christians do not have affairs, but statistics don’t bear that out. Chances are, if you’re in church this Sunday, there is someone on the pews who is married and cheating on their spouse.

What words do you allow to take up space in your mind? Words that recant the pain of the past, or words that express gladness for the days to come? Words that bring peace and confidence in God, or words that stir resentment and bitterness?

Dr. Edith Eger is a Holocaust survivor who became a highly esteemed psychologist and brought emotional healing to many veterans suffering with PTSD. When she was 16-years old, she was thrown into a cattle truck along with her mother, father, and older sister and taken to…

There are times when life twists and turns, and we find ourselves in a state of limbo. Do I go right or left? Do I hold still or go back? Do I move forward or lateral? Rather than finding frustration in these moments, I’ve learned to do several things while I’m waiting to hear from God…

The fiery dart hit its mark. Why did she lower her shield of faith? The enemy had grown so still … she thought he gave up. Complacency is a trap! The woman warrior for Christ will remember …

Though the sails rage and the wind howls, the woman warrior for Christ remains STEADFAST in the storm. Her anchor is the Lord and He will not be moved. Words and worries may pummel her soul and push her to and fro, but …

She is not ashamed! Though the world calls her foolish, her faith calls her CHOSEN … though the world calls her unwanted, the Lord calls her …

The enemy thought she was throwing in the towel. He was wrong. She was only wiping the sweat from her brow, so she could go at it again. The woman warrior for Christ does not tap out. She knows she is in the battle for the…

She is CAPTURED. Not by the enemy. Not by the lust of the flesh. The woman warrior for Christ is captured by…

She does not seek to hold center stage. She does not get caught up in the drama of the day. Her heart is focused on one role … serving her Lord and Savior. The applause of man pales in comparison to the eternal salvation found in Christ Jesus. The woman warrior will not jump through …

HEAR ME. How can she enter the battlefield without instructions from her commander? Far too often she jumped in without seeking the Lord first. Far too many times she trusted the wisdom of the world over hearing the voice of God. This will not be one of those times. She will …

Nothing good comes from looking into darkness. The woman warrior for Christ will not allow the enemy to lure her into the pit—where past failures mock, rejection looms and temptation deceives. Why would she want to play in the sewer of sin and shame when the beauty of the …

“I left it on the altar,” she said. “I’m trusting God with it,” she said. “I’m not worried—it’s in God’s hands,” she said. Over and over, she spoke the words, wishing they were true. The days of “wishing” are over.
