Friends, sexual immorality is so often what we believers focus on. But it is NOT the only sin that grieves the heart of God, fractures our own soul, and desecrates our witness (though many Christians prove hypocritical there too). Jesus placed the gravity of our words unto others right alongside the gravity of our wandering eyes, and His brother’s epistle slams home the same point.

Holiness is so, so much more than what we’ve publicly limited it to.

I literally saw a reel where people play a game of seeing how long it takes to find a hateful comment on IG and trace it back to a bio that includes Christ or Scripture.
Comments on that video said “there is no hate like Christian love.” That rips my heart out, in sadness and anger. Because I know what true Christian love looks like—I’ve received and shared it my whole life—but that is not how the world looks at us right now. Yet it’s literally what His word says we will and should be known by.

If we feel justified in speaking cruelly or callously in the name of a “righteous cause,” we’ve already lost the plot.

The One Ring. in LOTR is not analogous to any one thing, but one of its most piercing notions is the seduction of ends justifying means. Of using a weapon of darkness in the name of good.

I have a prayer that I would love us to meditate on together this coming week. It is the words in 1 Cor 13, that follow Paul saying “and now I will show you a more excellent way…”

Show alert! I’ll be joining for a solo show hosted by Saturday, Mar 7, at KGF Church in Kelowna. Tickets available at my bio or you can snag em from the QR :) see you there 🫰

Happy New Year! As we start 2026 I made a couple playlists to give you substance + vibes unto Jesus heading into this new year.

Check out my stories to snag em, or if they expire (or you’re an Apple Music user like me), comment and I’ll dm them to you (me, not a robot. Keep it human y’all).

Featuring a whole host of artists I love. Support independent music in 2026 🫶

Cannot WAIT to share the new record. You don’t even know 😭
