Let your peace overwhelm My sinking heart; Let it wash over my head, Through my brain; Relax me from all the What if’s, And I can’t’s. Let it open my ears to hear You Promising You’ll never leave me Nor forsake me. Let it wipe away my tears— Open my eyes to Your Word, Your …
I’ve just felt off. Ever since quarantine it’s like I’m riding a bike and the chain keeps clicking. I know the bike is broken but I keep going because . . . well, it’s just “easier” than fixing the problem. But Proverbs 4:20-27 really opened my eyes this past weekend. In just seven short verses, …
Oh Beloved One started out as a bimonthly newsletter. I have been so excited to watch this little side hustle grow; over quarantine, we launched some stickers and printable. Over the years, we’ve dabbled in sweatshirts and other items. But, finally, I bit the bullet and launched our Pray Journal. Already, this little book has …
I haven’t talked about singleness here because . . . just ew. I feel like what I hear about singleness comes from a good heart but just isn’t working. And yes, maybe some of these things are true, but no one backs them up; they’re simply quotes people toss around. There’s a lot of good …

Ruth, “Stumbling Liability Ahead” article from EDIFY issue Our EDIFY issue tackles both sides of edification. Personally, …
Whenever I see posts like this, I get a little wobbly. It’s mostly because there is a very delicate balance between observation and obsession when it comes to the end times. Lots of people are SCARED of Revelation, while others can’t get enough of it and dig down into the nitty gritty and try to …
I don’t know about you, but the word “hospitality” always makes me think of women with messy aprons bent over a dish of mac and cheese, their families chattering in the background. For a long time, I immediately zoned out upon hearing this word. My “I’m a kid” excuse for looking over hospitality has evolved …
“Who wants to pray?” Everyone trembles in their seat. What will people think of my prayer? Will they think I’m too stiff? Or maybe too conversational? What if I say something stupid? The speaker looks at you, their eyes just as big as yours. “How about you? Would you be willing to pray for us?” …
Whoa there, beloved—that title might’ve made you spin in your seat a little. Allow me to explain. A lot of people have a “cozy” image of Jesus. He’s chilling with you in a coffee shop, wearing a baseball cap backwards, throwing peace signs at everyone that walks by. Our image is often wrong. We see …
