Once upon a time, at a cozy dinner party filled with close friends and a few new faces, Mark decided to share one of his go-to humorous stories. His wife, Lisa, sat beside him, sipping her mocktail and smiling politely. Mark, always the entertainer, knew how to command a room. He began, his voice...

Doing Life with the Dedmons - How did we get here? Sep 07, 2024

 How did we get on this ride?

Full transparency - when Whit was checking out mentors to see if we would come in off the road and move the family to Redding, we had never heard of Chad or Julia Dedmon.  We were thinking that we were being called immediately to Studio Church in Greenville...

From Striving to Surrender Apr 02, 2024

Here's my Tuesday confession:

January of 2024, after doing a spiritual fast, God opened my eyes to how much I was focused on building mySELF... even in my faith.
 
It included all the "self's": Self-sufficiency, self-empowerment, self-development, and self-driven.
 
God revealed...

In the darkest, most evil, hopeless, places, that's where Your love shines brightest, Jesus.

Divine Encounters: Embracing His Love Mar 19, 2024

Sunday I walked into church with a heavy heart, crushed spirit, and exhausted.

Sometimes life has a way of beating you up, stealing peace, and drowning all hope.
 

My spirit craved to get lost in Gods presence. As much as I listen to worship and praise music, there's something about...

God's Calling You to Adventure Mar 12, 2024

If you would've asked me 5 years ago, "Whit, do you consider yourself an adventurous person?"

I'd have laughed and said, "Not at all. My husband is, I just tag along."

Last week, I listened to a teacher of mine, who's on fire for Jesus, share her testimony about leaving the worlds way of doing business to do business the Kingdom way - with Jesus at the center of it all.

As she shared her story, the Holy Spirit convicted me, graciously, of how I kept falling...

Finding Peace in The Midst of Pain Feb 20, 2024

I dropped Maverick off with his care taker, where he’d stay for the next four nights. On one hand, I was sad he wasn’t going, on the other hand, relieved to have time to be with family and move closer toward closure.

Underneath both perspectives, I felt annoyed. Flying to Nebraska for...
