Nighttime Feels Different...Here's Why

  Lately, I’ve been thinking about how nighttime hits different—how it reveals so much about Jesus, His love, and the grace He showed us on the Cross.   We live in a world that constantly screams, “You’re not enough.” Every single day.   We wake up, push through, and still feel like we’re falling short. But at night? The voices get louder. The doubts hit harder.   “Did I do enough today? Am I enough?”   In some big cities, the grind never stops. But for most of us, nighttime means another day is wrapping up. The world slows down. People head home, unwind, and take a break from chasing success, money, or whatever they’re after. Yet even as we log off, close our laptops, or step away from work, our minds keep running.   Standing at the bus stop, waiting for a ride home, or just sitting in silence, we become more aware of our thoughts. And that’s when the whispers creep in: “You should’ve done more. You could’ve been better.” We sigh, feeling the w...

An Orange Moment: I Squeezed An Orange Today And It Made Me Cry

  Early on Monday morning, I spent some time to extensively reflect on the blessing of food as it points us to Christ and God’s redemptive purpose for us demonstrated by the Cross. Today, my orange reminded me of this again. I wanted to remember Jesus through partaking of the Holy Communion. I already had my crackers that I was going to use as the Body. I wanted to use orange juice as the Blood. I had an orange that I got yesterday and I just need to squeeze the juice into my cup. As I squeezed the orange, I thought about how doing that was a picture of the Body of Jesus Christ that squeezed for his blood to pour out for me. It was also a picture of how grapes are squeezed to produce their juices. The sense of God’s love just washed over me as I thought about this and I fell to the ground and cried, in gratitude. I recently listened to a sermon by Pastor Joseph Prince about the firstborn blessing of Jacob. Isaac blessed Jacob that he would enjoy the dew of heaven and the fatn...

What about rough days? Flipping the Script on Rough Days: Elijah’s Story and Ours

  Flipping the Script on Rough Days: Elijah’s Story and Ours What’s in a day? One day can be amazing, filled with excitement, joy, and success. The very next day? It might feel like you’ve hit rock bottom. That rollercoaster of highs and lows is a vivid expression of life as we know it. Picture this: you leave home in the morning feeling like you’re ready to conquer the world, but by evening, you’re dragging your feet, wondering where all your energy went. Some days are just rough . And when they are, we want them to end as quickly as possible. We all have days when things just feel overwhelming—whether it’s dealing with school pressure, juggling work, or the stress of keeping up online. It’s easy to get caught in a cycle of comparison, seeing others’ highlight reels on social media and wondering why we don’t measure up. But even on those rough days when everything seems upside down, remember this: God sees you. He loves you. And He’s with you in every moment, caring about your...

Flip The Script On Education: A Reflection In Celebration of the International Day of Education 2025

                                            Image from Freepik Happy International Day of Education!  On today's episode of Flip The Script, we're flipping the script on education, in honour of the International Day of Education and we're doing that by shattering the myth that education only happens in schools and classrooms. I believe in holistic, out-of-school and transformative education that changes us and empowers us to change the world and I believe this is God’s heart for education. Education doesn't only happen in schools and classrooms but in all of daily life, and we should never confine or limit education to that.  My case study today is one of the most inspiring young people I’ve ever learned about: 19-year-old Gitanjali Rao who’s a science enthusiast and an inventor and already invented her first science-b...

What’s In a Day? Discovering God’s Wonder in the Everyday

  Let’s talk about your day. You wake up, probably scroll through your phone for a bit, get out of bed, take a shower, and throw on some clothes. Breakfast? Maybe. Then you head out—school, work, errands—your day starts rolling. You cross paths with people: the fruit vendor on the corner, the guy delivering packages, the bus driver, your classmates or coworkers. After a long day, you head back home, exhausted, eat, unwind, and finally crash into bed. Sounds pretty ordinary, right? But here’s the thing: your ordinary day is packed with evidence of God’s love and His grace, all because of what Jesus has done for you. The Wonder in the Mundane We often think purpose is found in the “big” moments—getting that degree, nailing that project, or doing something that feels important. But what about the rhythms of daily life—the small things we take for granted, like brushing our teeth, walking to class, or grabbing coffee with a friend? Here’s the truth: Jesus didn’t die just to r...
