• Tend The Garden You've Been Given

  Brant highlights the importance of faithfully tending to the responsibilities and relationships God has placed directly in our lives—what he describes as "tending the garden you're given." Don't be swayed by the noise of outside pressures or the expectations others may try to place on us, as these distractions can cause us to overlook the people and tasks God has specifically entrusted to our care. With a spirit of trust and simplicity, focus on what’s right in front of us. Honoring these everyday callings is both meaningful and pleasing to God.

• Brant & Sherri on How Jesus Confronts Us But He Doesn't Leave Us There

  Brant:It's kind of weird in church culture or Christianity or whatever you want to call it. A lot of times we'll talk about anything but Jesus; like everything else but Him, which is really odd. I mean, He's the reason I'm a believer. And same thing with Sherri. So we thought, Hey, let's highlight some Jesus stuff rather than just talk politics or whatever. Maybe talk about Him. So we were thinking about the top two or three things we put on our list for just Jesus moments. We really love from the gospels. So what would you put on there?Sherri:I'd put on, there's a man who is crippled and he's at a pool and an angel comes down and heals everyone at a certain time. And he's never gotten healed. He's been there for decades. And Jesus walks past his mat where he's laying, and Jesus asked him, "Do you want to be made whole?" And that is one of my favorite moments with Jesus, is the fact that He's willing to confront me, and heal me. Both. He's willing to confront the things in me that have kept me from moving forward, and He's willing to heal me.Brant:So the confrontation is him even asking the question, do what you I mean?Sherri:Yes. Where He's like, "Do you want to be made whole?" There's an implication there that there's some stuff going on in your life that hasn't gotten you to this pool where everyone else seems to be able to get to. Because He asked the guy, "Do you want to be made whole?" And the guy's like, well, every time I try to get in and then no one will put me. So He's willing to confront me in my excuses, but He doesn't leave me there. He heals me.

• Brant on Being Broken But Repentant

  Brant explores the concept of brokenness and humility in the context of church culture, emphasizing that while many people describe themselves as broken, true transformation requires repentance and rethinking one's life in light of this brokenness. Simply acknowledging brokenness without seeking change can lead to pride rather than humility.Click PLAY as Brant illustrates this using the story when Jesus asks a man if he wants to be healed.

• Praying in the Tulip Fields with Old & New Friends

  Yesterday, I spent time with old friends in the tulip fields in Skagit Valley. We also made new friends and prayed with them in the fields surrounded by God's glorious creation...such a sweet time.

• It's Not Too Late to Turn Toward God

  It's never too late to turn toward God. His goodness and unwavering pursuit of humanity despite our flaws and sin is constant. There's a common misconception that God is ashamed or angry with us, but God's persistent love and closeness, even when we fall short, does not end. I hope you find Him, and lean in. You are loved.
