Now it's time to start marketing!

More info is coming soon, but let me know in the comments below if you're interested in joining me!

Temptation rarely shows up waving a red flag. It's

Temptation rarely shows up waving a red flag.
It'sually more covert than that and whispers, “Just this once.”
Or, “Does it really matter?”

But Scripture and saints like Elisabeth Elliot remind us that temptation isn’t just something to endure—it’s an invitation to choose God and his Word over self.

If you’ve been feeling worn down in the fight, you’re not alone.

God’s Word meets you right where you are, and Scripture isn't silent on how to overcome temptation. I've gathered 20 Bible verses to anchor your heart when the struggle feels close, and resolve feels thin. 💛

The pursuit of holy leisure isn’t a mindset shift

The pursuit of holy leisure isn’t a mindset shift SOLELY for your quiet times, but also for how you live out your faith in the familiar places.

I learned this, as I was writing the book, and I have to remind myself of it as I feel stressed and behind in my workload.

Leisure, true leisure, is not inactivity, it’s a soul at rest, no matter what’s happening around you.

The Christian life is full of paradoxes.

You must die in order to live. You must be humble so God can exalt you. And you must pursue Christ with relentless energy to find rest.

That's holy leisure.

Holy leisure results from an overflowing joy from being in God's presence.

The next time you open up your Bible, don't do it for the checkmark. Don't do it to keep up with your through-the-Bible-in-a-year plan. Don't do it to say you did.

Do it to find holy leisure for your soul.
