Encouragement to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus & stand in Reverent Awe of Him
Our First Love
When was the last time you truly remembered your salvation? It's so easy to go through the motions of our faith and slowly drift from the wonder of the Gospel. In this blog, we'll explore what it means to remember our First Love and how remembering Christ's rescue, rehearsing the Gospel daily, and responding with reverence and awe can rekindle our love for the One who first loved us!
Created Not Coded
Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we work, create, and communicate—but how should Christians respond? In a world increasingly shaped by algorithms, Scripture reminds us that our identity, purpose, and hope are not found in technology but in the God who created us in His image. Join us as we explore how to embrace innovation with wisdom, guard our hearts with discernment, and remain anchored to Christ in an artificial age.
Eternity Changes Today
When life feels heavy with unanswered prayer, waiting, and suffering, it can be hard to understand how the Gospel applies to today. This post walks through the foundation of the Gospel—our sin, God’s holiness, Christ’s salvation, and eternal hope—and shows how eternity reshapes the way we see present pain. In Christ, suffering is real but not ultimate, and our future glory gives us a steady hope that changes how we endure today!
Making God Big Again
In a world filled with uncertainty, it can be easy to let our circumstances shape our view of God. Drawing from Abraham's unwavering faith in Romans 4 and a powerful insight from John Calvin, this post explores how believers often affirm God's power until life's difficulties seem to contradict His promises. Through examples from Scripture and the gospel itself, we are reminded that faith is not denying reality but trusting that God is greater than it. The challenge before every Christian is simple yet profound: Will we judge God by our circumstances, or our circumstances by God?
Faithful in the Unfinished
After taking on a Memorial Day home remodel project, I found myself discouraged by how unfinished everything still felt. But through reading Joshua 12–14, the Lord reminded me that unfinished does not mean He is unfaithful. Even after victory, God still has more growth, surrender, and purpose for us as we continue walking in obedience and depending on His faithfulness.
Busy for God, Distant from Christ
A look at Jesus’ warning to the church in Ephesus about abandoning their first love and how believers today can slowly drift from intimacy with Christ through distraction, routine, and misplaced priorities. It also explores what it means to return to a genuine, wholehearted relationship with Jesus.
When Striving Meets Grace
In seasons of busyness and exhaustion, striving can quietly take over, convincing us we need to prove we’re enough. This post traces how that performance-driven mindset can shape not only our lives, but our faith, leading us to carry a weight we were never meant to hold. Through Scripture and reflection on God’s character, it brings us back to the truth: grace meets us not in our perfection, but in our need - and invites us to lay down striving and find rest in Christ!
He Must Increase
Drawing on the example of John the Baptist, it emphasizes the call to shift from self-centered ambition to a life where “He must increase, I must decrease.” The post explores how this surrender reshapes identity, ambition, and daily decisions, arguing that true freedom and joy come not from control or recognition, but from yielding fully to God’s purpose.
A Glimpse of Heaven
A life-changing and first mission trip to Criciúma, Brazil for our lead designer and co-founder, Courtney. The trip brought unity in Christ, being overwhelmed by God’s glory, the simplicity of following Jesus, and a renewed focus on making disciples. Our purpose is clear to live on mission and stay centered on Jesus - both abroad and wherever home is. Be encouraged by the tangible hope of Heaven where we will praise our Heavenly Father with every tribe, tongue, and nation!
Reverence vs. Terror
When Jesus cast the demons out of the man, the townspeople were not relieved—they were afraid. Instead of fearing the darkness that had enslaved the man, they became afraid of the authority that set him free. This passage exposes a profound truth: many people fear God in the wrong way. True fear of God is not terror that pushes Him away, but holy reverence that draws us near to His power, holiness, and mercy.
Our Sympathetic High Priest
This reflection explores the tender truth that Jesus is not distant from our weakness but deeply acquainted with it. As our compassionate High Priest, He has endured the full weight of temptation without sin and invites us to draw near with confidence. At the throne of grace, we are met not with condemnation, but with mercy and help in our time of need.
The Scandal of Grace
This post uses the NFL’s Super Bowl ring to illustrate God’s economy of grace, showing that salvation is not earned by effort or comparison but freely given by a generous Master. Like the laborers in the vineyard, we’re reminded that the real miracle isn’t fairness—it’s that we receive the reward at all.
The Lord Will Provide
An honest reflection of the reality of anxiety and fear, even for those who know God’s promises. Through Scripture and personal experience, it highlights that God sees our struggles, provides for our needs, and calls us to trust Him daily. By focusing on His provision, care, eternal plan, and daily faithfulness, we can let go of worry and experience the peace and freedom only He can give!
When Leaves Lie
At Reverent Awe, we believe testimony isn’t worn—it’s lived. This post explores Jesus’ warning against leaf-filled faith that lacks fruit, reminding us that real faith is proven through repentance, obedience, and abiding in Christ. Leaves fade, but fruit remains.
Fixate
This New Year, fix your eyes on what truly matters: Jesus, your God-given calling, and His mission. Grounded in Scripture, it reminds us that God’s power enables faithful living, focused priorities, and the sharing of the gospel. For 2026, the call is to fixate—to center our hearts on Christ, steward what He entrusts to us, and respond in reverent awe to His unshakable Kingdom.
Standing in Reverent Awe
This post reflects on a year marked by Scripture, obedience, and growing reverent awe of Christ. Looking back on 2025, we trace how God used each season to deepen faith, shape worship, and anchor our mission in eternal truth. With eyes fixed on Jesus, we step forward into 2026 expectant of continued growth, courage, and Gospel impact!
A Child is Born
In a season that fills quickly and fades quietly, we can easily forget the staggering truth at the center of Christmas: our Holy God stepped into humanity to redeem us. This reflection walks through who the baby of Bethlehem truly is — the prophesied Messiah, the humble King, the Son of God, and the Savior of the world. Let this be your invitation to renewed reverence and awe!
The Comparison Game
Explore how comparison quietly pulls us away from Jesus, using Peter’s moment with John in John 21 as a powerful example. Jesus redirects Peter with the simple yet piercing command, “What’s it to you? You follow Me.” We’re reminded that restoration is personal, callings are unique, and freedom comes when we fix our eyes on Christ instead of others!
Rest to Remain
A reflection on learning that true rest isn’t wasted time—it’s worship. God invites us to pause, realign our hearts, and find renewal in His presence.
The Weight of Wanting More
This post reflects on Jeremiah 45:5 and God’s call to let go of self-serving ambition. Through Baruch’s story, we’re reminded that true peace isn’t found in success or recognition, but in surrendering to God’s will. When we stop chasing “great things” and start trusting His plan, we find the rest our souls have been craving!
