I am undone when I truly contemplate the cross. I am in awe of Jesus, the ONLY man with the power to raise Himself from the dead. I know that many of us have been raised in church listening to this for decades, but have you truly meditated on what the cost was? On how [...]
Sometimes I look around and wonder how I got here. How is it that a girl who sings a little and decided to talk about her abortions became surrounded by people she’s looked up to and admired because of their passion for Jesus and their bold stance for LIFE? This week I found myself praying [...]
A minister, a priest, and a small group of pro-lifers were arrested last Thursday for praying in front of the White House. That sounds like the beginning of a joke, right? It’s not. You can even watch a video of it here. Occupy protestors have been a presence on federal property for months, but a [...]
First of all, I want to say a huge THANK YOU to those of you who emailed me and messaged me to tell me about your pro-life ministry or about your church that has devoted itself to being a presence at the nearest abortion clinic. Many of you have been in the pro-life movement for [...]

Well, here’s a great example… On Friday morning, I tweeted, “thinking of driving to Alabama to see @OctoberBabyFilm” Within a few minutes I was on the phone with Dan Atchison, the film’s producer, and he invited us to the premier that night in Birmingham with the [...]
The International House of Prayer in Atlanta has some of the most talented and anointed musicians I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. I used to find myself thinking “Why are they here? They could be making a good living at this in Nashville or New York or somewhere else.” During the first Sunday service [...]
Well, today is the day. I am graduating from the internship at the International House of Prayer in Atlanta. When I started 3 months ago, I knew there would be challenges to making it work, but I decided to jump in anyway believing that the Lord would give us all the grace to make it [...]
Is God’s love really unconditional? What exactly is the “blessed life”? How should we define success? Is the idea of a seeker sensitive church biblical? What is the church supposed to be doing in this hour? For the past few weeks, I’ve been pondering these questions and many others. Well, let’s be honest. For the [...]
