I am so excited to announce this new project. After deciding to take a hiatus from writing fiction, there were two specific projects that I feel God placed on my heart.

We know why we follow Jesus, but what does taking up our cross look like? What does it mean to deny ourselves while also loving ourselves? Check out a list of ways you might pick up your cross and discover what this act of faith is not. Jesus carried the cross out of love and obedience not self-hatred.
