Spooky szn is here! 👻

Hear the good news: there’s nothing spooky about God.

No tricks. No jump scares. No waiting for the other shoe to drop. No wondering if your bad decision is going to make God love you less.

God isn’t lurking in the shadows waiting for you to mess up. God isn’t keeping score. God’s love isn’t some bait-and-switch. And God isn’t trying to scare you.

God meets you in the mess.
God stays when things get scary.
God loves you through every mistake, every question, every season.

God’s love isn’t a trick. It’s a treat.

And it’s here to stay.

So yeah, things are getting a little spooky around here. 👻

God’s love? Never. 🤍

Happy spooky szn, friends.

We spend so much of our lives thinking about tomorrow.

What’s next? What if something goes wrong? Will I have enough? Am I doing enough? Will I be enough?

Our students are asking those same questions too. About their grades, sports, friendships, college, their future. They are growing up in a world constantly telling them to get ahead, keep up, and figure out what comes next while comparing their real, ordinary lives to carefully curated feeds and AI generated content. They’re trying to measure up to algorithms, computers, and constantly changing standards for what is “enough.”

But through all that noise, Jesus offers a different invitation: “Do not worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow has enough worries of its own. Trust me with today.” Matthew 6:25-34 (Ginnie’s paraphrase).

So much of our lives can be focused on preparing for and worrying about what’s next that we can miss what God is doing right now.

But Jesus keeps calling us back to today.

When we pray “Give us this day our daily bread,” we aren’t asking God to give us everything we need for tomorrow. We’re asking God to meet us with what we need for today.

You aren’t meant to carry tomorrow’s troubles with today’s strength.
You were made to trust God who is giving you enough strength for this day.

Maybe one of the ways we learn to trust God is by resisting the urge to constantly ask, “What’s next?” and learn to notice what God is doing right now — today.

This week, around the dinner table or on the drive around town, ask your student:
What is something taking up space in your mind today?
What do you need from God today?
What has God already given you today that you don’t want to miss?
