There was a time I thought I didn’t like blueberri There was a time I thought I didn’t like blueberries. 

Turns out I just hadn’t had a fresh one yet — picked right off the bush, tart and popping, holding its shape instead of turning to mush. Now? I’m a fresh blueberry cobbler kind of woman.

This one’s from scratch—a sweet biscuit topping over blueberries that release all their color and juice as they bake. 

No canned filling required (though I won’t judge you if that’s the season you’re in—I have a recipe for that, too!). Serve it warm with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream and you’ve got the best summer treat on the planet.

It’s easy, it’s humble, and it tastes like the kind of evening where nobody’s in a hurry.

🫐 Full recipe is on the blog—comment BLUEBERRY to have it sent right to your inbox. 

Tell me—are you a fresh, frozen, or “just give me the pie filling” kind of baker? 👇
Sometimes—in the midst of all of the churchy thing Sometimes—in the midst of all of the churchy things and rules and taught beliefs—I think we forget this verse. Actually, we forget a lot of verses. In fact, we forget to think with the mind of Christ, often, and instead think on how other people did and do things. 

I am noticing the beginning of a peak in the body of Christ right now. The church has entered into a new era. She becomes more and more turned towards and into the image of Jesus. And this next reformation has already begun. 

If you aren’t in it, you won’t see it. If you aren’t talking to leaders within the church, you won’t understand it. But here’s what we are going to see, and are already seeing. We are beginning to see a great push back on what God is doing, from some of the least likely of places.

Some of the high capacity leaders that I have followed for years have suddenly decided to grasp hold of the last bit of the tradition of man instead of shed it off. We are beginning to see an unnecessary attack on home churches, small groups, and movements of the church outside of the four walls of a building. From places you wouldn’t have expected.

And the religious spirit calls it “rebellion”. Don’t get me wrong, there is rebellion. But we cannot broad stroke everything as rebellion. Isaiah said it best, “do not call EVERYTHING a conspiracy.” 

Our family has been on an extended sabbatical from traditional church since November of last year. We host fellowship dinners at our home every weekend. I have intentionally poured more into people—new believers,  non-believers, leaders, pastors, elders. And I have been poured into, too. Proximity matters.

And when I read this verse, for this season we are in, it resonates with me. After telling Yeshua all the things we’ve done, He says “come away to a deserted place, and rest.” 

With Him. With a small group. With the circle of friends and co-laborers. 

The backbone of the next reformation of the church is being set on the small pillars in the community that are being firmly rooted through covenant friendship and leadership so that growth can be sustained again. Be careful not to despise it. Instead, pray into it. Yahweh
We all like to give him a hard time around the fel We all like to give him a hard time around the fellowship table because he’s so quiet now days (until he’s not 😂). But many haven’t seen (or don’t remember) the man that has literally sat on a stage with me, poured out his heart, and cried in front of a bunch of women and their husbands at an event one year. 

Or the guy who used to teach Sunday school at an old Assembly of God church even though he had no idea what he was doing 

Or the guy who helps me with every single decision I make in business and ministry. 

Or the guy who somehow has this gift to preach a simple gospel to the rough neck crowd without actually preaching the church “way”.

I was searching through my phone tonight for a photo of me to schedule for an IG post, and I typed in “leadership photos”. I type this in ALL the time and photos of myself or our speakers pop up. But tonight, this photo popped up as the first and only photo. 

In a world and “church” system where we feel like everyone is supposed to have something to say every single day….there are a few who only open their mouths when they feel like God is telling them to open their mouths. And I assure you, when they do, you will sit there so profoundly taken back (in a good way) that you know it must be the Lord. 

So many people are scared or taken back by manly men. Or silent men. Or men who know they aren’t perfect and know they are on a journey just like Simon and John. They won’t sugar coat. They won’t blow smoke. They just want real, commitment, covenant, and strength—not cowardice. 

But I believe we are about to see just how necessary men like this are. We will need them in the body of Christ in the days ahead. And I’m happy I married one of them 🤍
Our first batch of 2026 birds are the @mcmurray_ha Our first batch of 2026 birds are the @mcmurray_hatchery big red broilers and they DID NOT disappoint. This was probably one of the most consistent in weight batches we’ve grown. Most birds were consistently between 5 and 6.9 lbs. With the drought, we butchered them at 14 weeks instead of 12 weeks. They would’ve come in consistently between the 3-5 lb mark at 12 weeks though, which is a normal sized broiler for many. 

On to the next batch!
I almost cut the audio on this one. But I left it I almost cut the audio on this one.

But I left it. Because somewhere in the middle of making pretty reels and instagram-worthy things, in the middle of daily tasks and work and homemaking, in the middle of you scrolling, trying to escape into someone else’s “real”, there is a holy thing happening right where you stand.

This is where wisdom gets passed down. Where memories are made. Where ordinary children become kingdom ambassadors.

The “in between” moments—the ones that feel like interruptions—are the most teachable moments you will ever be given.

When little voices ask the same question for the hundredth time... when little hands climb into the middle of your project and you feel inconvenienced... those are not the moments to rush past. Those are the moments they will remember forever.

So I’ll ask you what I keep asking myself: How did you make them feel today? How did you explain real life to them? Will the way you answered firm up their foundation, or shake it?

“Impress [these words] on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” [Deuteronomy 6:7]

Did you catch that? At home. On the road. Lying down. Getting up. The in between. That is the classroom.

Parenting is not the thing you do once the rest of life is finally organized and perfect. It is the thing you do first. It is the most important work happening in your home.

So slow down. Take a deep breath. One day these little voices will be gone, and you will remember the moments you let pass you by.

Don’t let them pass, friend. Turn around. They’re right there.

If this landed on your heart, save it and tag a mama who needs the reminder today. 🤍
