Fall has arrived, LiF sisters! It's a season that invites us to reflect on the changes within ourselves and set new intentions for our spiritual journey. It's a time to draw closer to God, deepen our faith, and align our lives with His purpose. In this blog post, we will explore the ten best spiritual intentions to set this fall, providing you with guidance for a season of growth and renewal.

For today's blog post, I'm touching on the very real, very transformative power of life in the desert—when we're alone and all hope is (seemingly) lost. In the moment, these seasons of life seem barbaric and downright cruel. How can a loving God allow me to endure such heartache? This is what we'll be exploring together. Let's dive in. 

A promise from God, unfulfilled. A deep yearning to grow their family, despite their infertility. The story of Abraham and Sarah is a poignant one—so rich in its humanity, so resonant with its readers today. In this Genesis account, we see an elderly couple waiting on God to move, to provide them with the child they were promised.

Who is Jesus to you? Arguably, what you think about God is the most important thing about you. That's why we're diving into the 7 "I Am" statements of Jesus in the Gospel of John. Through today's blog post, we'll be unpacking critical pieces of our God's character and learning more about the One we serve.

At some point or another, we all seem to to be let down by someone in the church. A misguided comment, a forgotten invitation, a clash of personalities. When it does inevitably happen, it's startling. How do we move forward when we've been hurt by this community, our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ? That's what we'll be tackling today.

This time of year begs us to stop for a moment and consider what Christ has done for us. For today's blog post, I'm dialing in on Luke 23-24, focusing on Jesus' selflessness to the very end. This piece of Jesus' personhood is so stunning to witness, so heartbreaking to grasp, and it deserves our attention today. 

Feeling lost? Alone? Stretched too thin? I'm sharing the best Bible verses for when you feel lost. The Bible truly is the go-to source for when you're feeling low. Actually, it's the perfect resource for any season in life, but we're dialing in on how restorative it is for a broken spirit. 

If you're like us, you're trying to find new ways to spend time in God's Word. Today's blog post is all about finding new, creative ways to memorize the Bible. In an effort to infuse some hope and fun into your day, we're unpacking 5 ways to learn your favorite verses and share them with friends. 

Happy Valentine's Day, LiF sister! I hope this day finds you well and excited for God's plans. I'm sharing an encouraging devotional for the single woman, longing for God to introduce a man of great character and love into her life. I'm also sharing a prayer for your future husband. It can be so hard to wait. Keep the faith, stay close to Jesus, and expect great things.

There's something so freeing about distancing yourself from technology, only if it's for a little while. For today's blog post, I'm dialing in slowing down, turning off your phone, and making time for Jesus in your daily life. It's not easy, and it certainly isn't popular, but recommitting yourself to live simply and more mindfully is a life-changing thing.

From the moment we wake up in the morning to the end of a long, long day, we're bombarded with messaging that our lives are not enough, that we'll only be happy if we buy more stuff. It takes a lot of effort to resist these voices and stand firm in our contentment through Christ. It's not easy, but there are small steps we can take in our daily lives to embrace minimalism. 

We're diving into a John 13 Bible study on loving our enemies. This may be one of the hardest thing God asks us to do, so it begs to question—how are we exhibiting this in our own lives? How are we showing up and loving those on the fringes, those who disagree with us in every way? Let's get to it.

For today's blog, I'm touching on the beauty of friendship, but also, how to stay positive when those friendships fade, whether through long distance or time. God brings people into your life, sometimes for a short season or so. Here's how to focus on God, keep your head held high, and love your sisters in Christ no matter what.

Cue the warm and fuzzy vibes because Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Stock up on these adorable (and brand new!) Valentine's Day designs that keep Jesus at the forefront. Share the love of Christ and be prepared for the day of love.

Gratitude is an important rhythm of the Christian life. As believers, we're called to be thankful—always. This is a tall order sometimes, isn't it? Despite all our trials and seasons of hardship, we're called to give thanks to God. How is this possible? We're doing a deep dive into 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 and the topic of rejoicing in the Lord, no matter what.

Have you ever said no to God? Today's devotional is a deep dive into the world of Jonah. It's a perfect example of what happens when we try to run from God. Spoiler alert—we can't! Regardless of our rebellion, God will have His way and in this we can rejoice. After all, He know's what's best, anyways.

Happy October! We're pleased to share with you this month's theme: Work Hard, Pray Hard. We wanted to create some space to focus on living a prayerful life—one that meets your busy schedule.

Far beyond our own insecurities and earthly doubts lay a greater purpose—one that somehow makes this cold world bearable: Jesus is at work among us.

For today's blog post, I'm focusing on the power of sharing your testimony, as well as breaking it down into tangible steps. I get it—sharing your story can be daunting. Remember, this isn't just about you, it's about what God has been doing through your life, amidst the highs and lows. 

At some point or another, we all have thoughts revolving around this idea of scarcity. We think we'll never have what we need to be truly satisfied. Instead of feeling fulfilled, we'll spend our lives in comparison, always wishing we had more. For today's devotional, I'm diving into a popular passage from Isaiah 55 on coming to the table and being completely satisfied in Christ.

God has always been in the business of taking what's broken and making it beautiful, restorative, and wholly unique. Anything touched by God instantly becomes better—something far greater than we could ever imagine. This is true for your story, too. This is the first post of our fall theme, Falling Up.

It doesn't take long to realize what reigns in our world—money, envy, all the things! Standing in stark contrast to these is the Gospel. When the world promotes living for ourselves, Jesus calls us to die to ourselves.

Here's your daily devotional on the book of Acts, an incredible witness of the apostles carrying out Christ's mission. Consider this your go-to resource to be emboldened for Jesus! There's much kingdom work to be done on this earth, LiF sister, but with God's help, it is more than possible.

The Parable of the Sower is a well-known narrative told in the Gospels. It's a story depicting how seeds grow in different soils, or rather, how faith grows in the hearts of believers and their differing environments. Today, I’m giving you some  inspiration on remaining close to God, despite the pressures of our world. 

The poetic book of Hosea is perhaps one of the greatest displays of God's faithfulness to the people of Northern Israel.
