In Luke 5:37, Jesus shares a powerful analogy with His disciples: “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, it will spill, and the skins will be ruined.” If you are like me, you may have wondered what Jesus really meant. What exactly is it about […]
The Bible is well-known for the way it hides powerful truths in simple details that, if you’re not paying close attention, you might just miss. One of such details shows up in Joshua 6:20, where it says: “The wall of Jericho fell down flat.” Most of us are familiar with the story of Jericho: how

As I sat wondering how to begin my weekly Friday post, a random childhood memory surfaced—my love-hate relationship with beans. Oddly enough, I didn’t enjoy eating beans as a child, but I absolutely loved picking them. What started as a punishment from my mum quickly turned into one of my favorite tasks. Sitting with a

The day after Valentine’s, I made one of the biggest decisions of my life—I asked the absolute love of my life to marry me. She is an amazing woman in every sense, and I wanted to surprise her with a proposal she wouldn’t see coming. The planning had been in the works for about a
Lately, life has been throwing a lot my way—some of it unpleasant, much of it overwhelming. And through it all, I’ve often feared that one final thing—that infamous straw that breaks the camel’s back. Interestingly, that breaking straw isn’t usually heavier or more intense than the others. It’s just that by the time it lands,
