Joy.

I recently ended with the fruit of the spirit, today is about joy. Joy. I have long believed that there is an instrumental difference between joy and happiness. People talk about the “pursuit of happiness” and having a happy life. And there is nothing wrong with that, in fact there is a LOT of goodContinue reading “Joy.”

Humble Yourselves

It’s been a few weeks since I have had the energy to put together a post. I have learned that writing a blog is something that takes time and purpose. I want my words to mean something. I journal almost every day and there are many days where I think, “Maybe I should write thisContinue reading “Humble Yourselves”

Welcome to Radical Road

Jesus came to earth and fundamentally changed the courseContinue reading “Welcome to Radical Road”
