How to Make a Difference—One Peace at a Time
How to Make a Difference—One Peace at a Time

Louise Stanton shares her heart and wisdom on the blog this week with a message about being peacekeepers and what it means to be a good neighbor. Too often, we move on from an opportunity to show God’s love because we don’t seem to have time. Jesus had a very full life, but it was never rushed.

Shema: Learning to not just listen, but to respond
Shema: Learning to not just listen, but to respond

Grace Rubin joins us on the blog again this week with a profound Hebrew word, “Shema.” This word means to listen and hear, but through her research, Grace found that it’s even more than that. Hearing “Shema” also means actually working to comprehend and to live out what you are called to do!

Everyone’s Hard is Different
Everyone’s Hard is Different

Everyday we do hard things whether it was making your bed, exercising after work, or comforting a friend in grief. The important thing that Dianne DeKoning reminds us of is to lead with compassion during all of those hard times. Life is hard, there is no denying that. But life with Jesus is worth it because He rides through all of it with us. Everyone’s hard is different!

Reflections from a Mom in Training
Reflections from a Mom in Training

Regardless of career – study, training, observation, and practice are required in one way or another to do a job well. But the job of being a mom? No diploma, no certificate, no internship is expected for this important role. The perfect instruction manual for this life-long role as mother is God’s word which tells us what is real, what is true, and what is valuable. And we can go to our holy and perfect Heavenly Father in prayer to seek his will and guidance.

History of Birthdays

Called Conference Recap
Called Conference Recap

The Called Conference hosted at Bethel University was an amazing, inspiring, and authentic experience. Read along as Grace Rubin shares the highlights and wisdom that touched her life over the weekend in March 2025. Faith and fear are often together in the same situation, but knowing that our faith grows stronger the more we step out in fear can bring us boldness in our walk with God

If you are looking for an opportunity to join us at Called Conference next year, please reach out for tickets and connecting with us as a community!

3 Women of the Bible
3 Women of the Bible

Read about three specific women in the Bible who have amazing stories of faith! Whatever your situation may be, we are each called according to the gifts we have been given. The next step is reaching out of our comfort zone in faith and obeying that calling.

Reborn
Reborn

In John 3:3 Jesus is preaching about being born again: “Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Then, because that phrase sounded strange to him, Nicodemus asks Jesus “how can that be?” How can someone enter their mother’s womb a second time? Obviously, Nicodemus is thinking physically (ouch!) and Jesus is of course speaking spiritually. But WHY would Jesus use this analogy when talking about the kingdom of God?

The Thief of Joy
The Thief of Joy

Comparison sneaks into our lives and we get trapped into feeling behind everyone else. Comparison shifts our focus from what God is doing in our lives and lock our gaze onto what He is doing in someone else’s life. What does the Bible say about joy, comparison, envy, jealousy, contentment? Learn to lean into the joy and blessings that are in motion right now.

Be in the Word
Be in the Word

We are called to be people of the Word, living out God’s teachings as Jesus did. Engaging with Scripture is essential for our spiritual growth and daily living.

Lessons from Noah
Lessons from Noah

What lessons can we learn from the story of Noah and the ark? Noah built the ark with specific instructions directly from the Lord. Directions that would make sure the ark was stable, buoyant, durable, and livable. Noah and his family were on this ark for almost a whole year! It was a safe shelter for them as they endured the largest natural disaster in history. What was it like coming off the ark for the first time? Do you feel like you are surviving on your own ark through a storm or flood?

Grace joins us again on the blog this week! “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” – Deuteronomy 6:4-5 Do you know the difference between listening and hearing? The hearing that Grace writes about has to do with the Hebrew word Shema, which is not just listening but responding. How do we hear God’s voice? Are you listening and obeying or just listening?
🎙️ The hot takes just keep coming. And in the words of Meg… buckle up. 😅 This episode feels less like a podcast and more like a front row seat to one of our friendship phone calls, and you’re invited. We’re diving into God’s will vs. personal desires, and no surprise… we have thoughts. A lot of them. If you’ve ever wondered “is this God or just me?”—this one’s for you. 🫶🏼 Tap in on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube! #BoldlySeekingPodcast #HotTakesAndHolyMoments

Happy Memorial Day! -While you are remembering and celebrating this weekend, take a look at the blog post this week from our guest writer, Dianne DeKoning! - Dianne DeKoning has served in a variety of ministry roles for over 25 years. Middle school students have her heart while she seeks to help people be the best version of who God created them to be. She currently serves as the chaplain of Hope House, a teen shelter outside of Minneapolis, and as WyldLife Lead in Eden Prairie, MN. She also spends time mentoring college students and coaching youth pastors, all while highly caffeinated and juggling family life with her husband and three school age children. Dianne dreams of free time for herself yet believes time with people is the best gift ever. - The blog this week is about hard things. Everyone’s hard thing is different, so treat others with kindness and compassion.
The wind has been wild these last few days, like the hold-on-to-your-hat kind of windy. Sitting at work, the sound of it crashing against the window has been enough to give me a headache. It’s chaotic, unrelenting, loud. And honestly? Life feels like that sometimes too. The kind of chaos that makes you feel like you might get swept off your feet… not in the cute, romantic way, but in the “I’m barely hanging on” kind of way. But here’s the truth I keep coming back to: Jesus is our grounding hope. When everything around us feels loud, disorienting, and unsteady, He remains firm. “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” — Hebrews 6:19 The wind might rage, the noise might press in, but He is constant. He is peace. He is stillness. He is our anchor. Even when the wind won’t stop howling—He doesn’t move. #BoldlySeeking #Anchor

Two years ago, we felt ready to launch a merch line—but Jesus gently told us to wait. We had ideas, energy, and excitement, but the purpose behind it hadn’t yet been revealed. So, we paused. We hoped. We prayed. And we trusted that when the time was right, He’d make it clear. Now, two years later, He’s calling us to take the first bold step. This launch isn’t just a drop—it’s the fulfillment of a vision that’s been unfolding ever since we published our second devotional, Be Bold. The Be Bold merch line is a call to live courageously, to walk in obedience, and to intentionally seek after Jesus. It’s clean. It’s simple. It’s designed to spark curiosity. Because when someone asks, “Why bold?”—we get to share the boldest story we know: the kindness, goodness, and life-changing power of Jesus.
