Discovering life, love, and God!
When Faith Feels Empty
Loving Jesus from your core means He isn’t just part of your life—He is your life. It’s a love that goes beyond surface habits or fleeting emotions, anchoring your identity, desires, and decisions in Him. This kind of love shapes how you see the world, how you treat others, and how you live when no one’s watching. It’s deep, genuine, and constant—flowing from a heart fully surrendered to Him.

Current Series
Performance-based Christianity often leads to burnout, guilt, and a distorted view of God’s grace. It focuses on doing more to earn approval rather than resting in what Christ has already done. Instead of striving to check religious boxes, we’re invited into a deeper, more transformative relationship marked by love—for God, for others, and for ourselves. When we move from performance to love, faith becomes less about appearances and more about authentic connection, compassion, and freedom.
