When I am weak, he is strong
The Lord is faithful, and he is deeply at work. Looking back on this past month, it was filled with genuine struggles and clear victories, all of which kept leading me back to a single call: learning to depend entirely on him in my weakness. August was a quiet month with most of the team away, but having lots of work to dive into was such a clear provision from the Lord. I was able to wrap up editing a 31-episode devotional series, as well as four podcast episodes centered on abuse.

It was also really cool to be able to get a fresh breath of encouragement from my local community and from some interns that have come… Read more >>
Re-thinking My Calling
When I first arrived in Spain, I thought I knew exactly why I came. I had my tools, my plans, and a clear vision for how I would serve. I thought I was here to capture stories through a lens. But this past month, the Lord began to change my perspective. He didn't change my location. He changed my eyes. He began to show me that a calling isn't confined to a specific skill set. It's an invitation to love and to serve right where you're standing in whatever way is needed. I've realized that availability matters just as much as capability. And as I lifted my eyes from the screen, I started to see… Read more >>
