Glass Ceiling
Good morning making space for God friends. We are a community of Christian believers who focus on ensuring that we follow Jesus’ command to seek His kingdom first above all else and He will then provide what we need. It is hard though.

Buried in Stress

The Tyranny of Jealousy

Life Turned Inside Out
We all know that life can turn upside down and inside out overnight. We all have had unexpected losses and turns in the road of our lives that we didn’t see coming. As believers, how should we handle these stressful times? It’s easy to lose our way as we navigate these losses. Over the past […]
Unity in Christ
Today I want to look at the topic of unity found in Ephesians 4:1-16. In this Scripture, we see a new society. Here are 3 characteristics of this new society: Character that reflects Christ Unity that reflects the unity between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Diversity and maturity Let’s dig a little bit into that […]
