Birth and Brokenness
I love the world God created. It’s normal for me to stop to see a wildflower, which some people would call weeds, and take in its beauty. Like my Aunt Ginger, I’m drawn to natural light in all its forms but especially the sun – there’s nothing like the glow of a sunrise or the…

Making Space
Breathing. It’s something we take for granted, isn’t it? I have a terrible habit – sometimes, I forget to breathe. Okay, I never actually forget, but sometimes my breaths become short, shallow, and spaced-out. I find myself almost gasping for air because I’d been holding my breath. I’ve also noticed that I’ve started feeling a…

kingdom come
Our church is currently in a series on prayer, and though I wrote this blog some time ago, it is certainly appropriate to share now. I recently finished Pete Greig’s How to Pray: A Simple Guide for Normal People. In it, Greig provides a framework for prayer based on the Lord’s Prayer found in Matthew…

choosing mountains (isaac pt. 2)
Before we climb the mountain, we have to choose the mountain. I went skiing in Utah recently. My experience to that point included Sugar Mountain in North Carolina, which is 4,432 feet tall. The mountain I skiied in Utah was over 10,000 of fresh powder, and I was not prepared for the fear I would…

(full) tomb moments
Easter weekend is one of the most important times of the year for Christians. We take time during Holy Week to consider Jesus’ journey to the cross thoughtfully and prayerfully. Palm Sunday, a heart-wrenching beginning masked as a victorious entry. His sermons in the temple. Mary anointing His feet. The Last Supper and some of…

good grief, good God
I’ll preface with this – I owe a great deal to Ann Voskamp this season. I’m not always great at choosing a word for the year, but sometimes the Lord lets a word choose me. In 2022, it was hope, and I watched God lead me out of dark seasons and into brighter places of…

mental health is messy
2020 wrecked us all – didn’t it? None of us were ready to shelter in place, wear masks 24/7, and be separated from our support systems. No one could imagine how stress would take a toll on our minds, bodies, and emotions. Stress has a way of revealing in us things that we had no…

a young adult’s journey
Hey there! My name is Hannah Peckett, and I’m honestly thrilled to meet you. I’m passionate about a lot of things, but there are three which take priority in my life: God, my family, and community. I am blessed to work full-time in children’s ministry at a non-denominational church in south Florida; I love that God…

welcome to the wrestling
I’ve played nearly every popular sport that the average American girl chooses to play. Baseball, soccer, basketball, volleyball – I’ve tried them all. But even with all of that incredible experience to my name (I’ll never forget that my baseball coach used to congratulate me for “making contact with the ball”), I’ve never considered taking…
