How can we develop a mind at peace? As we seek to hear from God, it is important that we learn how to calm the waves inside. But how can we experience rest in God when we live in such a tense and busy world?
Executive Director – A Transformed Mind
You may never have fought in a real war, but if you’ve ever played a game of Risk, you know that some battlegrounds are more strategic than others. When it comes to holiness and personal peace, that make-or-break zone is the mind. Here are three ways to let God's kingdom come and rule in our minds.
Devotional – Do You Remember?
Psalm 78: The miracle and glory of Jesus’ birth, death and resurrection mean that the lover’s pursuit has not waned. The story isn’t over. And perhaps that’s why remembering and retelling the story can be hard work.
Devotional – Come And Eat
Psalm 81: Perhaps when we understand the command to worship as God’s invitation to come and be fed “with the finest bread and the best honey” we’ll be ready to pay attention.

Diane McBeth – Hearing God
One of our key goals as Baptist Women is that each of us could grow in genuine experience of God. Wouldn’t we all like to be like Moses whom God talked to “as a friend talks to a friend” (Exodus 33:11)?
Devotional – Let’s Dance
Psalm 87: This text leads us to Jesus, God’s beloved son with whom God is well pleased. And in Jesus, God builds, loves, delights over and strengthens you. In Jesus, God invites you to make him home. Put on your dancing shoes.
Devotional – The Sound of Silence
Psalm 88: Unlike other psalms of lament, Psalm 88 does not end in worship. It ends where it began – in a darkness punctuated only by anguished prayer. Or does it?
Devotional – Press Pause
Psalm 92: We receive Psalm 92 as a melodic call to pause in the presence of the Lord whose love and faithfulness are new every morning and to orient ourselves to our true North who is Jesus crucified and risen. It’s only when we do so that we recognize the truth at the heart of our story.
