Happy Fruitful Friday Reader! Do you want to see a real-life example of the fruit of the Spirit being produced in someone? This summer, Little Pot has asked our readers to share their testimonies about when the Potter grew the fruit of the Spirit through them. What I love most about the stories is that they're just everyday situations. We often think of the Holy Spirit performing outlandish and impossible miracles. We forget that showing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,...

Happy Fruitful Friday Reader! Have you ever tried to share Jesus with an atheist? Reader, I was recently asked to witness and share my testimony with an atheist. It was hard. And, I'll be honest, I wasn't sure I should. You know that whole casting pearls to swine Bible verse? Much of what I did felt like I was throwing valuable pearls to pigs. (That's not me calling the atheist podcast host a pig.) He was a good host. He was just an unbeliever. I share the podcast link and my thoughts after...

Here's a fun picture of my mom and dad dressed up as the Statue of Liberty and Uncle Sam from the 1970s. Memorial Day Parade in the 70s...

Happy Fruitful Friday Reader! AND Good Friday! How has your Holy Week been? This past week is known as Holy Week. It began with Palm Sunday—the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey—and ended with Resurrection Sunday. As a kid, I remember waving palm branches on Sunday and then celebrating Easter without too much thought of what transpired in between. Have you thought about how the whole week's events would have felt to live them out? A Holy Week Transformation. Why worship? Reader, I've...

Happy Fruitful Friday Reader! Have you missed me? Do you know what it is to be too busy? Reader, I warned you that I might miss some fruitful Fridays, which was an understatement! Wow, March was a busy month! It all began at the NRB in Dallas, where I enjoyed promoting the Potter's vessels. Then, I traveled to Washington State to spend Reading Day with the students from Renton Christian School. I flew home, unpacked, and repacked before heading to the Christian Writers' Conference in South...

Live Your Truth and Other Lies by Alisa Childers. It is a great book that I highly recommend. You can click on this affiliate link to purchase the book. Live...

Happy Fruitful Friday Reader! God is mystery Reader, God is indeed a mystery. There are so many things about HIm that we will never fully understand. However, He loves to reveal Himself to us in new ways. Do you love Mysteries and Crime shows? I admit I can become addicted to crime shows on TV. I am fascinated by how detectives gather clues and create theories about a criminal's motive. I especially like it when an episode convinces me that a specific person is guilty, and I later discover I...
