We hope God has used this lockdown to strengthen your faith and we pray that he provides for you all, both financially and spiritually, in this time of uncertainty. Above all, we hope God uses us to help lift you up in whatever way possible. Without further ado, here’s what the Bite Size Theology...
Locked Down: When God Puts the World on Bedrest

When I was pregnant with my first child, I had a rare complication at 24 weeks. I had a placental abruption that placed my life and my child’s life at risk, and I had to remain in the hospital on bedrest until my child was born. I had no idea that this was the beginning of a 12-week stay in the hospital.
This was before we had smart phones and streaming services like Netflix. I had no ability to work remotely...

But, inflexible leader as I am, I forced us to read it anyway.
I soon realized how appropriate a book it is for such...

Want to know a control freak’s nightmare? 2020. Every Type-A person in the world right now probably feels like someone who mapped out their life using perfectly-placed LEGO pieces- and then found out their foundation was a trampoline.
A few giant bounces (read: global pandemic) and the “plan” is suddenly popping around like a thousand bright cubes in the air.
If there is one thing COVID-19 has revealed, it is the frailty of our plans, our bodies, our society,...
