From Hosanna to the Cross: Learning Non-Fickle Faith

Posted on March 29, 2026 by Writing & Photography by David K. Carpenter

Learning to Listen

Posted on March 21, 2026 by Writing & Photography by David K. Carpenter

Learning to hear God’s voice isn’t about waiting for dramatic moments or unmistakable answers—it’s about growing in relationship with Him.

The Patience of God

Posted on March 1, 2026 by Writing & Photography by David K. Carpenter

When God feels slow, it’s tempting to interpret delay as distance. But what if what feels like slowness is actually divine patience? In this reflection, I explore how trusting God’s “fullness of time” shifts our faith from urgency to peace — and how His patience shapes both our character and our timing. Continue reading →
