Anchoring God's Character Rooted in the Name: Tsuri--The Lord My Rock There are days when I do not feel consistent. My emotions shift. My energy rises and falls without warning. My thoughts don't always align with what I know to be true. And in those moments, one fear quietly surfaces: If I am this unstable...what does that mean for my faith? We are often taught--directly or indirectly--that spiritual maturity looks like steadiness. Calm. Consistency. Emotional regulation. Certainty. But Scripture tells us a deeper truth. Faith is not rooted in our steadiness. It is anchored in God's. There is a name for this steadiness: ___________________________________________________________________________________ Tsuri--The Lord My Rock Psalm 18:2 "The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety." NLT A rock does not panic when the ground shakes. It...
A Grace-Centered Theology Rooted in the Name: Jehovah Tsidkenu--The Lord Our Righteousness Somewhere along the way, many of us learned--subtly or directly---that mental struggle and spiritual maturity do not belong together.

In that day Judah will be saved, and Israel will live in safety." Jeremiah 23:6 NLT Righteous is not achieved. It is given. It is not earned through consistency. It is not maintained through mental clarity. It is not revoked when your emotions fluctuate. Jehovah...
I didn’t expect week 4 to feel like this. After everything that surfaced in week 2… And everything that unraveled in week 3… I thought this week might feel heavier. But instead– Something shifted. Not everything is fixed. Not everything feels easy. But for the first time… I feel hope. ____________________________________________________________________________ Faith That Can Restore Me Week 4 started with a question that I didn’t realize I needed to answer: Do I actually believe God can restore me? Not just in theory? Not just for others? But for me. Because if I’m being honest… There have been parts of my story that have felt too broken, too far too gone, too deeply rooted. But this week, something changed. I wrote this in my journal: “I have hope. I have faith God will restore me–I see Him already revealing things. I have faith. I’m opening up and asking for help when I NEVER do. I have my mentor, Eyleen, coming over to talk more about my journey and everything…so yeah I am v...
