Prayer has never been easy for me. It's not that I don't know how to pray, but it takes a lot of discipline for me to stick to praying even when I don't feel like it. I've heard stories of people in the Bible and missionaries who had ground-shaking prayer lives but that's never happened [...]

How could He just storm the gates like that?” “Do we have a plan?” “Is the war over?” Hundreds of questions attacked from all sides as we stared at the broken gate. “This was a fortress—no one should have been able to break through.” “Today we were supposed to revel in our victory!” “Didn't we [...]

My faith grew immensely due to the solid Bible teaching and professors who loved Jesus. However, I felt out of place on campus. Other students would gushingly share [...]
