How can we truly live out our faith online? In this video, I’m sharing practical ways to honor Christ in the way we post, comment, and engage on social media. From the words we use, to the content we share, to the way we treat others—even behind a screen—we’re called to reflect Jesus everywhere we go, including online. I have been making content for over 7 years and I want to tell you what I have learned over the year!

And shout out to ‪@jacobpetersen‬ for always being a good brother in christ and sharing his thoughts on this too!

This 4-year-old's sweet gesture is a beautiful example of obedience to God. The youngster wanted to do something very unexpected for one particular reason. Watch the short but moving clip to hear about the young man's heartwarming move and why he wanted to do it.

Throughout the Bible, God talks to many people, often giving them specific instructions and commands. In the case of Moses, He gave him a list of 10 very specific directives atop Mount Sinai, which you and I know as the 10 Commandments. In the Garden of Eden, He also told Adam and Eve to avoid eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Of course, we all know how that turned out for them, and since we're still dealing with the repercussions of their disobedience, us.

However, if asked, most people would likely say that God doesn't talk directly to people anymore, at least not like He did to Noah, Moses and Adam and Eve. But one young mother's beautiful and heartwarming situation involving her young son will likely change your opinion.

In the video posted on YouTube, the woman recalls her 4-year-old unexpectedly stating that he wanted to gather up some of his favorite toys and give them to one of his classmates. This caught her by surprise, but she went along with her son's desire, making arrangements to hand off the toys to the classmate's mother. That's when the woman learned how God works, answered prayer and showed her how her son obeyed God.

"I asked my son this morning, I said, 'What made you want to give all those toys to Johnna?' Like, it's pretty generous. It's like a lot of the predators of the animal kingdom toys that he has. And he said, 'God.'"

Later in the clip, the 4-year-old's mother learned while talking with the other boy's mother that she had recently prayed for and asked the Lord for toys for her children.

God hears and answers prayer, but it's up to us to listen and be obedient.

Jeremiah 7:23 "But this was the order I gave them, saying, 'Give ear to my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people: go in all the way ordered by me, so that all may be well for you.'"

I came across this familiar story from Scripture that reminds of me why you and I live in hope- God's gifts of faith and grace... The criminal hanging alongside Jesus is guilty, by his own admission, yet forgiven in an instant because of his faith in the mercy of Jesus... In another story, “Jesus Heals a Sick Woman (Luke 8),” a suffering woman is likewise freed from misery through her faith in Jesus...Faith is like oxygen, it seems to me, a life-enabling element that is as accessible as the air we breathe. If that idea and these stories that illustrate it don’t give us hope, what can?

When I pray, I usually pray to God the Father. Maybe not having an earthly father growing up makes having a divine one all the more imperative. It fills an empty space and feels natural and comforting. I pray to Jesus, the Son of God, but I seem to fall into the Father’s arms most easily. Jesus feels like an older Brother to me—a guide and role model. Almost like the character “Wally” from the television series Leave It to Beaver—a show that portrayed an idealized father-son relationship, which was especially powerful for a little boy who had no other example.

God doesn't need your perfect attendance if you're preying in the pews. I expose how faith and betrayal collide. It reveals the predators who exploit sacred spaces and how faith can arise from the deepest wounds. This is a story of overcoming injustice, and a spirit that will not be silenced.
