Dirty Jesus by Julie Arduini
A few years ago I listened to a series by Elevation Church lead pastor, Steven Furtick. It was called “Hippy Jesus” and he walked everyone through the myths out there concerning Jesus, and the truth. Many see Jesus as a … Continue reading

Not a Superhero by Bridget A. Thomas
Stress! We all have stress from time to time, due to external circumstances. And sometimes we have stress from our own doing. If you are like me, maybe you put too much pressure on yourself. Maybe you try to juggle … Continue reading
Why Am I Struggling So Much? by Bridget A. Thomas
What is wrong with me? I asked myself this question recently. I was feeling irritated, frustrated, depressed, and angry. On the surface, there seemed to be no good reason for the turmoil of emotions. It went on for days and I … Continue reading

In His Time by Julie Arduini
Authors often refer to their work as their “book babies.” I marvel at my peers who can crank out multiple releases a year. Me? Anchored Hearts released yesterday, and that pregnancy lasted nearly five years. When the idea first came … Continue reading
Handing Our Concerns to God by Bridget A. Thomas
Many years ago, I was headed out of town on a business trip with two coworkers. We had a layover in Chicago, but sadly learned that our connecting flight was cancelled. It was late and there were no other flights … Continue reading
Surrendering My “A” Game by Julie Arduini
My brand is surrender. I add chocolate to the mix because that is my constant struggle and there are times we aren’t ready to surrender. I’ve been there, so my tagline is “Encouraging you to surrender the good, the bad, … Continue reading
The Ripple Effect by Julie Arduini
I recently wrapped up facilitating a Sunday School class where we journeyed through I Give Up: The Secret Joy of Surrender by Laura Story. I HIGHLY recommend it. Surrender is my “brand,” it’s the theme behind my writing and my … Continue reading
Surrendering Self by Nancy J. Farrier
I live in a small rural area. Most traffic goes right by us on the highway, but we also have a low road for the sparse local traffic. In the early mornings a few residents of the area, including my … Continue reading
Dog Bones and Baby Jesus by Julie Arduini
I’m always on the lookout for the simple things around me that God might be using to show me something. Through the years I’ve learned He is my loyal defender thanks to dive bombing cardinals, and that my dread opening … Continue reading
You’re Beautiful by Julie Arduini
We’ve all heard the saying about taking lemons and making lemonade. I had no idea last year when both our kids were struggling with “life’s curveballs” that from some of those experiences would be a new release. Our daughter is … Continue reading
Unmet Expectations by Julie Arduini
The last time I posted, I shared that my word for 2017 is transformation. I mentioned the different ways I thought it would play out, and already I’m seeing in some ways I was right on track, and others, not … Continue reading

Called, But Not Equipped by Julie Arduini
Years ago there was a guest speaker at our church who prayed for people and had words of encouragement for some. When he got to me I remember thinking he was the real deal. In prayer he shared Christ’s heart … Continue reading
