I AM Redeemed and Rooted

Before the restoration. Before the ring. Before anyone saw what God was quietly building in the middle of everything that had fallen apart. There were just two women standing in the wreckage of a life they had not chosen. And one of them refused to walk away. Her name was Ruth Owens. And loyalty was about to become her legacy. The Life That Collapsed Naomi Owens had built something beautiful. A marriage rooted in faith. A home full of life. Two sons who loved God and showed up for their family without being asked. A community in Atlanta that called her home for over twenty years. Then in the span of three years everything changed. Her husband went first. A sudden illness that moved faster than anyone expected. Then her eldest son. Then her youngest. Three funerals. Three seasons of grief layered on top of each other before the first one had fully settled. She sat in the empty house surrounded by casseroles from the congregation and sympathy cards she could not bring herself to open. An...

You know your name. You know your responsibilities. What you do not know anymore is who you are underneath all of that. Somewhere between the person you were before life got this complicated and the person standing in it right now the thread back to yourself got tangled. You feel it most in the quiet moments. The ones where nobody needs anything from you and you sit down and realize you do not know what to do with stillness because you have been so defined by movement and function and usefulness that the absence of a task feels like the absence of identity. This devotional was written for you. 7 Days of Purpose for the Woman Who Feels Lost in Her Own Life will walk you honestly through seven of the most common places a woman gets stuck when she feels lost in her own life and show you from Scripture what God actually says about calling, assignment, identity, and the path back to the self that got buried under everything else. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. Before ...

What does your mouth say when life gets noisy? Most believers know they should praise God.

Before the victory. Before the testimony. Before anyone knew his name. There was just a young man nobody thought to invite into the room. His name was David King. And the giant was already waiting. The Boy They Overlooked Pastor Jesse King had five sons in ministry. Strong. Polished. Experienced. When the regional church council put out a call for leaders to address the crisis threatening their congregations, Pastor Jesse sent his best. One by one they stood before the council.  One by one they looked the part. But something was missing. The crisis was real. A wave of false doctrine was sweeping through the region like a flood. Churches were hemorrhaging members. Families were being torn apart by deception dressed in spiritual language. Leaders were intimidated into silence. Nobody wanted to confront it publicly.  The giant was too loud. Too influential. Too connected. And then someone asked. "Is there anyone else?" Pastor Jesse paused. "There's David. ...

You cannot remember the last time you felt genuinely happy. Not the smile you put on for other people. Not the laugh you produced because the moment required it. The deep down settled joy that used to live in you before life got this heavy has been quietly absent for longer than you want to admit. You are functioning. You are showing up. But on the inside something has gone flat. And you are not sure when it happened or how to find your way back. This devotional was written for you. 7 Days of Joy for the Woman Who Has Forgotten What It Feels Like will walk you honestly through seven of the most common places a woman goes when joy has gone quiet and show you from Scripture how to find your way back to the Source. Not the performed version. Not the smile you put on for other people. The real kind. The deep rooted settled kind that does not depend on everything going right because it was never coming from your circumstances in the first place. "The joy of the Lord is your strength....

Before the freedom. Before the testimony. Before she became the woman who would not stop telling everyone what happened to her on a Wednesday night. There was just a woman who almost did not go. Her name was Simone. And she had been carrying her story like a weight she had stopped expecting anyone to lift. The Wrong Hour Most women in her circle came to church on Sunday mornings. Together. Dressed. Carrying Bibles and coffee cups and the kind of composure that made everything look fine from the outside. Simone had not been to Sunday morning service in over a year. Not because she had stopped believing. Because she had stopped being able to walk into a room full of people who knew her story and pretend she was okay with what their eyes said when they saw her coming. Five relationships. Each one that promised everything. Each one that took more than it gave. Each one that left her a little more hollow than she was before. She was not proud of her story. But she had stopped pretending it...
