The Antichrist, according to 1 John 2:22, is anyone who denies Jesus as Christ. Not the beast from Revelation. Not a marked villain.

Anyone.

That’s not the definition I grew up with.

Hebrews 11 reads like a preacher standing in front of you delivering the most powerful sermon on faith you’ve ever heard. The first time I read it, it changed the way I understand what I'm actually holding when I say I have faith.

As Peter puts it in 1 Peter 1:7, our faith is far more precious than gold. Hebrews 11 shows you exactly why.

The mountain is real. The work is real. But there's a difference between doing the work and suffering through it, and that difference has everything to do with who you ask to walk with you.

Reading the Bible daily didn’t feel transformative at first. Much of it was repetitive, unclear, or easy to move past. But over time, something began to settle, not in what I understood, but in how it stayed with me.

Looking back, the change is unmistakable.
