The LORD Fights for You!

By Missy Eversole /

A Bag of Flour, a Pit, and a Fight Grabbing the car door handle, my youngest son flung the bag of flour into the back seat with such force that a cloud of dust rose from it. “Be careful with my grandflour!” I said jokingly. My high school freshman’s early morning glare and eye roll…

Stop Kicking Against the Goads

By Missy Eversole /

The term “kicking against the goads” isn’t one that we use in our everyday conversations, but it’s one that we should start using! The account of Paul and his conversion in the book of Acts (9:1-19) is a favorite of mine. From the appearance of the risen Savior to Paul’s blindness for three days to…

JOY – Jesus, Others, You

By Missy Eversole /
,

Most of us are familiar with the term JOY – Jesus, Others, You. In our Christian circles, we refer to this as putting Jesus first, then others, then ourselves. It’s a simple word that is relatively hard to follow through doing. Most of us, myself included, tend to put ourselves and others before Jesus. This…

Setting Boundaries – Six Ways to Say No

🎄✨ Are you already exhausted from the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season?

I know exactly how you feel! 

Let’s stop chasing the "perfect" Christmas and embrace what truly matters. I made a bold move a few years ago: I gave up baking. No Christmas cut-out cookies, no fudge, no M&M cookies. Why? Because I can’t bake! 😂 My boys didn’t care—they know every dessert I attempt ends up burned!

But guess what? Letting go of the unnecessary gave me time to focus on the sweetest gift of all—the baby in the manger. The One who left His heavenly throne, took on human form, and grew up to die on the cross for our sins so that we can have eternal life. 

This year, let’s reclaim Christmas!

My free five-day devotional is available on my website now. I pray that it helps you focus on the season's true meaning.

Let’s savor the Savior this season! 

Will you join me? Together, we’ll "Have a Merry Little Christ-Centered Christmas!" ❤️🙏
