Week Five | Orphans Find Sonship at the Table
“Since sin entered the world through forbidden food, coming together at the table transforms the prohibited into permissible. It turns the upside-down nature of sin right-side-up and causes food to unify us. It calls us back to a time before the fall and brings restoration through table companionship.”
Week Six | The Feast of Trumpets
“While the modern version of this feast is fun and tasty, we learn in the 7 Feasts study, the deeper meaning of this appointed time.”
Week Four | Embrace the Becoming
“Little did I know that I had experienced what Rebekah Joy calls the fifth posture—perceiving encounters with the divine. From that moment, the message of Psalm 91:4 established a tabernacle residence, mishkan, in my soul.”

Week One | Blessed By Seeing the Glorified Christ
“Yes, it’s important for us to think of Jesus and the 33 years He spent on earth, to get to know His culture and world. We should strive for Jesus to be as familiar to us as He was to John. There’s great value and blessing in knowing Jesus and His ministry during His time on earth, but it’s also necessary for us to brush off our imaginations and pay attention to how John described Jesus in Revelation…”
God, The Master Artist
“Everywhere where we look we see God’s beautiful and extravagant creations. He was and is intentional about everything He makes.”
Week Three | The Mystery of the Name
“…we must be mindful of the reputation we form as a member of the body of Christ. And more importantly, we need to be mindful of what our words and actions say about our Heavenly Father. Are we representing Him well?”
I’ve been writing most of my life. Who knew not all ten-year-olds write letters to their aunts all the time? Much of my early creative writing was in the form of poems and songs. I love words so much, that in addition to writing, I edit and review others’ books.

“When it comes to Scripture, not a single word is ever wasted. So, when God instructs His children to count fifty days, there is significance in that number.”
Week Eight | The Feast of Tabernacles
“It is human nature to desire comfort and convenience, but the thing is, God doesn’t call us to be comfortable.”
