A Prayer for the Battle-Weary Soul

May 14, 2018 | A Cultivated Life, Rise Up Warrior | 2 comments

The last couple of weeks have been H A R D. Situational pain spoke loud to my heart and soul for days on end. When the mind knows what the heart needs to remember, there’s a battle waged. The two aren’t in alignment and that right there is enough to keep...

When it’s Hard to Admit Selfishness

Jan 30, 2018 | A Cultivated Life, Rise Up Warrior | 2 comments

Ever find yourself struggling through life’s challenges? Maybe you’re tired and weary. Maybe fears and doubts threaten your ability to live well as a Christian.

I believe God has more peace, joy, and freedom than many of us come to know. I want this for us.

I also believe God is bigger and better than any of us can ever know. I want us to see more of Him daily.

Here we’ll journey through areas of emotional health, soul care, and spiritual growth in order to cultivate a life-well lived and a soul well-nourished. Not a perfect life, but a life reliant on the One who is perfect.

While it may not be easy, it’s worth it.
