Easter was last week, but there’s a verse I came across today in Luke 24 that has me ready to shout from the rooftops. It’s seems like a tale as old as time. I encourage you to read Luke 24:1-12 for context, but the verse I want to highlight is Luke 24:11 – “But they … Continue reading Believe Women

Cue the music: “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me” (thank you, Taylor Swift). But … Continue reading Not the problem
