At the beginning of this year I decided to go on a music fast. I chose to only listen to Christian music for a month. Whenever I turned music on, it was only worship music.

There is a quote that states, “Just because God’s path isn’t always understandable, doesn’t mean it’s not the right path.” Everyone’s path will look different and that’s okay. We are each unique. Each of us has a different purpose to live out. We will all go through different struggles and hardships. Your path may…

How do you strengthen your faith and become more like our Savior? How can you be more like the Father who created you? These are questions you should be asking yourself everyday.

God’s character is evident throughout the entire Bible. In every story, He is seen. In every book and chapter, His character comes to life. Although there are so many places in Scripture we could turn to,…
