New 6-Week Study Begins October 6
Hello, and welcome or welcome back to my cozy corner of the internet. I hope you’re drinking something delicious that warms your heart, and wearing something extra comfy!
This fall, my small group is exploring what it means to pray with confidence and spiritual authority, and I’d love to bring you along for the journey. Welcome to my first-ever 6-week Faith Fall-Series: Unshakable – Learning to Pray with Bold Faith! I am so glad you’re here and can’t wait to learn and grow with you!

A Season to Strengthen Our Prayers
Have you ever felt your prayers bounce off the ceiling, or wondered if you were praying “the right way”? This fall, let’s learn how to pray with the kind of bold, steady faith that can’t be shaken.
Starting Monday, October 6, you are welcome to join online as we begin a 6-week journey called Unshakable: Learning to Pray with Bold Faith. Together we’ll discover how to stand on God’s promises, use Scripture in prayer, and grow a confidence that comes from Christ, not from ourselves.
Why Bold Faith Matters
The Bible invites us to come “boldly to the throne of grace” (Hebrews 4:16).
Bold prayer isn’t loud or showy—it’s rooted in trust.
It believes that God hears, God cares, and God acts according to His perfect will.
When we pray this way, we move from timid requests to confident partnership with Him.
