Seeing the Names of God as Stepping Stones

5/29/2026

There is a beautiful progression in Scripture—one that often goes unnoticed at first glance, but becomes unmistakable when you begin to trace it. God does not reveal everything about Himself all at once. Instead, He unfolds His character step by step, name by name, moment by moment.

Like stepping stones placed across the waters of time, the names of God lead us from simply knowing about Him to truly knowing Him.

This is the heartbeat behind the book, 16 Names of God. It is built on the premise that these names are not randomly scattered throughout Scripture, but intentionally revealed in a divine order. I have never encountered another study that presents the names of God in the exact order that they appear in the Bible—and I am a firm believer that there is purpose in that order.

Welcome, friend.

If you’re here, it’s likely because you love someone who has wandered—or because your own heart knows what it feels like to wait, hope, and pray through the ache of distance. You’ve prayed. You’ve wept. You’ve waited. And today, once again, you are choosing to press in.

In 2026, we are walking this road together.

Each Tuesday, we gather here to work through Prodigal Prayers: 52 Weeks of Praying Over the Prodigal—one week at a time, one Scripture, one prayer, one promise.

There is no rushing here and no falling behind. Come when you can. Stay as long as you need. This is a place for steady faith, honest prayers, and hope that is anchored in our faithful God and refuses to give up.

A Lesson from John 6

Have you ever asked a question you already know the answer to, just so the person you are asking has to respond and prove what they know?

If you’re a mom or a teacher, I am positive you have done this! Some of you sweet mammas answer a million questions every day with all the love in the world for those little ones.

I remember, as a teacher, often asking a particular student a question to test his understanding of a concept. I knew the answer and didn’t really need him to answer me per se, but what I needed was to prove his knowledge of that content.

When God Does BIG Miracles Despite Our Little Faith

Discover When God Does BIG Miracles Despite Our Little Faith, a powerful Christian blog based on Acts 12. This faith-filled teaching explores Peter’s miraculous prison escape and the early church’s prayers marked by both faith and doubt. Learn how God answers prayer not because our faith is perfect, but because He is faithful and sovereign. Encouraging Bible-based reflection on prayer, miracles, mustard seed faith, and trusting God even in weakness and uncertainty.

Acts 12 gives us a stunning picture of God’s power and our often-weak faith. Peter is in prison, heavily guarded, bound with chains, awaiting trial and almost certain execution. The early church is gathered together, praying fervently for his release.

And then—God does the impossible.

In the middle of the night, an angel appears, wakes Peter, and leads him past soldiers, through locked gates, and out into freedom.

It’s miraculous—chains fall, doors open, guards are bypassed, and Peter is rescued. Yet what’s equally striking is the church’s response when the answer to their prayers literally knocks on the door.

Learn how being rooted in God’s Word and living with gratitude shapes a faith that stands firm under pressure. Perfect for those seeking Christian encouragement, Bible-based teaching, and practical spiritual insight for daily life.

A Reflection on Faith Under Pressure

I want to share something simple — yet deeply powerful today — a teabag. It's a small thing that reveals so much.

A teabag doesn’t look like much on its own. It’s small, quiet, unassuming, and contained. But the moment you place it in hot water, everything changes!

You don’t really see what’s inside a teabag until it’s placed in hot water. And when it is, what’s inside begins to come out.

The color changes. The aroma fills the air. The contents are revealed. And the same is true for you and me. Trials don’t create what’s inside of us — they reveal it.
