Did you hear? Did you see? DID YOU HEAR?! We have a new devotional!! In Oh Beloved One’s newest study (part of the 2021 “Get Wisdom” devotional series), we cover how to use your tech for God’s glory! (By the way, when we say tech, we mean social media, TV, computers, and phones. Just so …
Is there more to church than just showing up on time every Sunday? Is it better to speak or to listen? Ecclesiastes 5 answers these questions and speaks on many different topics, and Amanda is here this week to walk you through this passage. We chat about how money can’t satisfy, yet is given to …
“What do you do in your free time?” The question always catches me a little off guard. I feel like I should start out with simple things: watching thunderclouds roll in, making banana bread, embroidering flowers on jean jackets, making coffee from my sister’s French press. But what I really do sounds strange; it can’t …
Because we are Oh Beloved One, I wanted to make a special episode for you guys that’s Valentine’s-Day-esque. But, never fear! I’m bringing you an episode that doesn’t even mention guys (and barely mentions singleness). I just wanted to focus on what will uplift and edify.

It reminds us that, nope, Bible …

Hello, beloved ones! I am so excited to announce that we are moving the blog to a podcast format. I’ve held onto this blog for so long because my first love is writing and I didn’t want to lose that. My dream was always for a publisher to read my blog and reach out to …
In the beginning, God created . . . The first verb in the Bible is “created.” Just consider that for a moment. Then consider that everything God made, He declared to be GOOD. Do you believe that? Do you really believe that, from your head to your toes? Next, remember that God made YOU in …
About a year ago, someone mentioned praying through the Psalms. I tried it once and fell in love with it!
