It’s Personal

There’s a tendency when we talk about the tabernacle to get a little… hesitant. “This could mean this.”“Maybe this represents that.” And on some level, that caution makes sense. The tabernacle is layered. It’s detailed. It’s symbolic in ways that stretch across the whole story of Scripture. But sometimes “could” isn’t humility—it’s uncertainty where there doesn’t need to be […]

Too Fast. Too Slow.

Nicole reads everything. The prompts.The updates.The little boxes that show up on her phone asking for permission. She pauses.Scrolls.Thinks. I don’t. I click.Accept.Move on.

The Real Jesus

There’s a tension we don’t always sit in long enough. Two visions of Jesus. Daniel sees Him— (Daniel 10:3-5)and it’s almost too much to take in: A man clothed in linen.Gold wrapped around Him.A body like topaz.A face like lightning.Eyes like fire.A voice that sounds like a crowd roaring all at once. John sees Him— […]
