God made me a natural-born doer, someone who instinctively thrives on productivity and action. Give me a new project, and I’ll immediately map out a detailed to-do list to keep everything on track. Give me a problem, and I’ll instantly start searching for practical solutions. Give me a calling, and I’ll start thinking about all…
Many years ago, I decided to read through my Bible from cover to cover yet again. I had already read through it six times before, and I knew from experience that consistently putting God’s Word into my heart completely changes my life. On a total whim, I jumped onto Facebook and asked if anyone would…
The other day, I caught myself doing something I didn’t even realize had become a habit. I had just finished a full morning—emails sent, a chapter written, a few conversations handled—and without thinking, I reached for my phone. I wasn’t looking for anything specific, but I still checked my messages, my notifications, and even my…
The house is quiet, the coffee is warm in my favorite mug, and my heart is ready. I love a deep novel, and I’m always looking for ways to grow through a helpful self-help book. Attending church and lifting my voice in prayer are pillars of my life. Yet, I’ve realized that while prayer is…
Last week, I wrote about the “Real Housewives of Genesis” and the drama that unfolds in their stories (read that post here). If you are ready to dive into the text yourself, you don’t need a theology degree. Instead, you need the right lens. Watching The Real Housewives requires understanding the unwritten rules of reality…
Let’s be honest: when most people think of the Bible, they think of dusty pages, long genealogies, and people sitting quietly in robes. It’s easy to assume it’s boring. But if you actually crack open the book of Genesis, you won’t find perfectly behaved saints. You’ll find a level of drama that rivals that of…
Learning to Trust the Author When the Pages Feel Messy I wish I could say my new year is starting with calm mornings, tidy faith, and children who always said “please” and “thank you.” Not even close. This new year (maybe every new year?) is more like Genesis 3 than Genesis 1. Looking back on…
Spiritual growth is a lifelong journey, and one of the most transformational habits I’ve developed is spending daily time with God through His Word. But let’s be real—quiet time isn’t always quiet, especially when you’re juggling kids, work, and life. Whether you’re a mama with a baby on your hip, a student balancing homework and…
(And 8 Things to Say “Yes” To in 2026) By Tricia Goyer Happy (almost) New Year! As we stare down the runway of 2026, many of us are making lists of resolutions. We want to do more—more exercise, more Bible reading, more volunteering. But before you add another “to-do” to your list, I want to…
As the calendar turns and we step into 2026, my heart is filled with anticipation for what God has in store! Every year offers a blank page. It’s a chance to grow and a beautiful opportunity to draw closer to God’s heart. Looking back on my own life—as a wife, a mother of many, an…
By Tricia Goyer If there’s one thing I’ve learned over decades of mothering, caregiving, homeschooling, writing, and serving, it’s this: A woman can look completely put together on the outside while her heart is quietly unraveling on the inside. Women today carry so much responsibility, guilt, spiritual dryness, fear, pressure, exhaustion, and expectations they were…
