There’s a moment that changes everything. Maybe it happened in a chapel. Maybe it was alone in a room late at night, nobody watching. But something shifted, and you said yes to Jesus. Then came the question nobody prepares you for: now what? Made New is the answer I wrote for that exact moment, and it started somewhere I never expected: in a juvenile detention center.

Israel had the promise but not the land, a look at Joshua 13’s overlooked “buts” and what unfinished obedience still costs us today.

What does a cup of tea have to do with the imago Dei? A personal reflection on scarcity, stewardship, and why hurry is the real enemy of a healthy, restful life in Christ.

I own a black T-shirt covered in portraits of prominent figures in Black history. I wore it to work one day at a private Christian school and nearly got fired for it. What I want you to know is this: Juneteenth was born in a church. It was organized by pastors. And the Black congregations who created it had spent the previous year doing something that looks, from a church history perspective, remarkably like the Reformation. That is the story most Christians have never been told, and it belongs to us.

She walked into a Pharisee’s house uninvited and poured everything out at the feet of Jesus. Here’s what Luke 7:36–50 teaches us about who God is.

Pentecost Sunday is one of the most significant days on the Christian calendar and one of the most overlooked. Most people know the basics: wind, fire, tongues, three thousand saved. But the story runs so much deeper than a single morning in Jerusalem. From the Jubilee rhythms of the Old Testament to the women standing in the streets proclaiming the gospel, Pentecost is the culmination of everything God had been building since Eden. The fire fell on each one of them and that includes you.

What started as searching Etsy for a gift for my best friend turned into something I never expected. Here’s the story behind The Pink Theologian shop and the theology that started it all.

Easter is when we remember and rejoice in the redeeming work of Jesus on the cross. And spring, bursting with new life, is a beautiful picture of renewal and coming alive again. Together, they give us two vivid images of redemption at work in our lives.

When I first began to delve into my Bible and study it truly, I realized that I needed some extra support to understand a book written well over 2,000 years ago. What we call the Bible was compiled over 1,600 years, across three continents, by nearly 40 different authors in three different languages. With all of this in mind, we cannot read and interpret what we are reading through the lens of our modern eyes. It was not written directly to us; it was written for us, but not to us.

I celebrate the Fourth of July not because I think America is perfect but because I believe in the God-given ideals it was founded on: freedom, justice, and the dignity of every person. As a Christian, I’m grateful to live in a country where I can worship freely, speak boldly, and participate in shaping our future. Patriotism isn’t about ignoring our past; and it’s about honoring what is good and striving to live up to the truths we profess.
