Journeying with Jesus – A Lent Devotional
As I write this short post, I am on a journey. I don’t mean that metaphorically. Thankfully, I’m not on an “eat, pray, love” type quest for meaning and purpose. In a few hours, I’ll be hopping on a plane for a seven hour trip to Indonesia.
I’ll be meeting up with friends there — ladies ...
An Invitation to Emptiness
If you’ve grown up in the church, you’ve heard the Easter message on repeat.
You’ve read the Bible passages. You’ve heard the sermons. You’ve sung the songs. You get it.

When Jesus multiplied the bread and ...
Praying in Agony and Acceptance

Where we live in India, obnoxious trucks, teetering buses, cars, three-wheeled autos (tuk-tuks in some countries), zipping ...

With exactly a month to go before Easter, we have a few short devotionals on the theme of following in the footsteps of Jesus even as He poured out His life for us.
Have you ever had someone interrupt a heartfelt conversation? Maybe you were venting about how unimaginably terrible your boss was or how your ...
As Lent Begins + 40-Day Devotional
As Jesus journeyed to Jerusalem on the back of a colt, crowds of people waved palm branches and lined His path with their coats. They welcomed Him as their King, their Messiah, and their Deliverer.
The people of Israel pinned their hopes on Jesus. He had just raised His friend Lazarus from the dead after four ...
Come and See—An Easter Reflection
One of my favorite jewelry pieces is a cross pendant my parents gifted me for my 21st birthday. More than two decades later, I still treasure the gift. It's delicate and pretty, but I love it because it represents something intrinsically central to my faith—the cross of Calvary.
As Christians, our church services and our meditations often ...
