Every year on July 4th, our feeds fill with reflections on freedom — political freedom, national freedom, personal freedom, and the freedom we have in Christ.

Writing the Word: My Review of the NKJV New Testament, Tracing Edition
For the past year, I’ve been writing and journaling Scripture almost every day. What began as a simple spiritual discipline has become one of the most meaningful practices in my walk with God.
