The Right Fight: Finding Identity Through God’s Word

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 12:12:52 +0000

There comes a point in every believer’s journey where exhaustion sets in, not from life itself, but from constantly wrestling with the enemy. Too often, we find ourselves striving against fear, insecurity, past wounds, and spiritual opposition. But what if the real shift happens when we stop wrestling with the enemy and start wrestling with the Word? In Genesis 32, Jacob found himself in a life-defining moment. The Bible says, “So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak” (Genesis 32:24). This was not just a physical struggle, it was spiritual. Jacob had spent years manipulating Read More

Is Your Life an Offering?

There is a kind of faith that sits comfortably in the pew on Sunday mornings and never costs a thing. And then there is the faith the Bible actually calls us to — one that lays everything on the altar and holds nothing back. “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God — this is your true and proper worship.” –Romans 12:1 Paul’s word choice here is striking. Not a dead sacrifice — a living one. The animal placed on the Old Testament altar had Read More

The Wilderness: A Passage, Not A Promise

After the twelve spies returned from Canaan, ten spread fear and unbelief throughout the camp. That single act of disobedience cost an entire generation their promise. God declared in Numbers 14:34, “According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land… forty days, for each day you shall bear your guilt one year… forty years.” One decision rooted in fear led to decades of wandering. Disobedience will always keep you longer than necessary in a wilderness season. Are you still hanging out in the wilderness—the place of punishment—because you refuse to fully obey God? The wilderness Read More

The Gift of Access: Positional Purpose

Garnet Nowell — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 13:09:09 +0000

One of the most powerful yet overlooked blessings in life is access. Access is more than opportunity — it is divine permission, spiritual positioning, and relational favor that places you where your effort alone could not take you. Access is a gift, and when God gives it, it changes everything. Throughout Scripture, we see that destiny often hinges on who is allowed in the room. Esther had access to the king (Esther 5:1–3). That access saved a nation. She was not the strongest person in Persia, but she had proximity to power. Her position became purpose when she stepped forward Read More

The Power of Decision

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 13:24:06 +0000

Your life transforms the moment you make a genuine decision about your future. Until you clearly define where you want to go, you’ll remain exactly where you are. This isn’t mere positive thinking—it’s a biblical principle woven throughout Scripture. “Choose this day whom you will serve” (Joshua 24:15). Joshua didn’t suggest the Israelites think about it or wait for perfect circumstances. He called them to decide. Decision precedes transformation. Move With Intention Once you’ve decided your destination, move toward it with purpose and conviction. Vague hopes produce vague results, but clear goals pursued with determination create momentum. Paul didn’t passively Read More

The Journey of Becoming: Getting Unstuck in 2026

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6 This past year, God has been speaking a consistent message: you are in process. You are appointed, anointed, and still becoming. The journey of transformation isn’t always comfortable, but it’s always purposeful. As we reflect on the themes that emerged throughout 2025, we see God’s faithful hand guiding, shaping, and empowering His people for their next season. As I sat with the Lord and we talked about last year and the coming Read More
