I am a member of the devotional team here at South, and also enjoy co-leading The Faith Film Collective with the fabulous Rod Taylor. I am a professional dog trainer, enjoy Irish music, amateur writing, and I will never, ever get tired of snoodling wiggly puppies. I'm so honored to spend this time with you as we grow closer to the Lord!

Paul speaking to the church in Ephesus: This is a church in utter persecution from every side. John is delivering a message of hope and comfort to stay the course…but there’s a twist: “You have...
Apocalypse! I think of erupting volcanoes. Plagues and pestilence. Starving people lining the streets. Armies on the march. Darkness across the land. And deception — a house of mirrors from which I cannot discern what...
