We’ve just come out of a season of feasting, full tables, sweet treats, comfort foods, and celebration. And now, suddenly, we’re invited into a season of fasting. If that feels like a hard pivot, you’re not alone. Going from indulgence to intentional restraint can feel uncomfortable, even intimidating. But fasting isn’t about punishment or religious performance. Biblical fasting is the practice of intentionally abstaining from food for a period of time to draw closer to God .

It’s 2026, and what a gift it is to step into a brand-new year. Every new year feels like a fresh page, full of possibility, hope, and a little reflection. Many of us think about New Year’s resolutions: things we want to change, habits we want to build, or areas where we hope to grow.

A heartfelt reminder for every woman walking with Jesus The cross is the heart of the Christian faith, a symbol of sacrifice, love, and victory. For women of faith, understanding what Christ accomplished through the cross brings hope, strength, and a deeper connection to God’s promises. The cross is not just a historical event; it is the foundation of our salvation and the source of many blessings that shape our daily lives. Let’s explore seven powerful truths about what Chri

How faith hope and love equip us to face our slain enemy. Spiritual warfare is real. Scripture makes that abundantly clear. From the very beginning, the enemy has been intent on deceiving, discouraging, and destroying God’s people. The Bible tells us he is crafty, subtle, persuasive, and relentless. His desire is that we would share in his fate, separated from God and trapped in fear. We can see evidence of his influence everywhere: in our entertainment, our culture, and even
