The Crow of Conviction

Last updated on: October 24, 2023 at 12:25 pm By Abby Filipiak

As Christians, we know the story of Peter denying Christ and oftentimes ask ourselves “Why would he do that?” Peter knew the living God personally and still denied knowing him when it was convenient for him. There were several pastors that I listened to growing up who would question Peter. Peter– the same disciple who walked on water with Jesus (until he started to not anymore)– was always the disciple that we talked about. Not that the other disciples weren’t... Read more

Are You Prioritizing Sabbath?

Are you prioritizing your Sabbath? I know this question may catch you off guard but truly think about this. I’m aware that I’m not the only one feeling this way, but September has flown by. It seems like just yesterday when Starbucks unveiled its Fall Drink Menu, signaling the true beginning of autumn for me. But I’ve noticed one thing about myself since the Fall has begun to swing into its rightful place. I am tired. Now, I can make... Read more

To the Christian Teachers

To the Christian Teacher at the Beginning of a New School year, please hear me when I say that I see you. As a teacher in public education, I often feel that Christians in this field are overlooked. Public Education has an image for many Americans that displays a very left-leaning stereotype of educators. This can leave many Christians in education feeling unseen. I want to leave a list of prayers you can pray over your staff, students, or fellow... Read more

4 Things to Pray for This Fall

Last updated on: August 26, 2023 at 2:36 pm By Abby Filipiak

With Fall right around the corner, it’s easy to prepare ourselves for the shift in weather. I have been lighting my “Apple Pecan Turnover” candle almost daily to submerse our apartment in the fall scent. Decorating our home with orange and green, tiny pumpkins, and baking Apple Crisp are some of my favorite ways to equip my home for the new season. What if we look at our prayer life the same way that we prepare our home for a... Read more

Cultivating a Personal Worship Habit

Last updated on: August 19, 2023 at 5:18 pm By Abby Filipiak

As Christians, worship is a key part of displaying our gratitude and thankfulness to God. The term “worship” may bring up a specific image. For some, they may think of a group of songs sung on a Sunday morning. Others may think of a hobby that they take time each day or week to dedicate to the Lord. The things we spend our time on show our heart’s intentions. If we spend time honoring God, then it is clear that... Read more

Understanding Biblical Womanhood: Embracing God’s Design

Last updated on: August 12, 2023 at 6:57 pm By Abby Filipiak

0 Comments

My generation, Gen Z, takes pride in their accomplishments of discovering different ways to explore gender and gender roles. Growing up, I could watch my peers discover different aspects of themselves. However, I often needed clarification on the Biblical principles I was learning about not matching up with their discoveries. I had heard of Biblical womanhood but struggled to find examples of that in school. It was not until college that I truly realized that I wanted to step into... Read more

When it comes to studying the Word of God, I find myself where many people do: stuck on what to study and how to study it. As an English teacher, I find that studying a text meant to be the foundation of my life can be challenging without the right tools. Here are three bible Study tools that I’ve found to be critical in my journey of keeping a consistent reading and study schedule with God. The Bible App Shocking,... Read more

Is your digital life taking away from your Spiritual Rest?

Spiritual Rest is something that I have always struggled with. Recently, my husband and I attended the Worship Together conference at The Belonging Co in Nashville, Tennessee. This was our second time participating in this conference. It has consistently been a source of rejuvenation for our relationship. During this particular time, many speakers spoke on the importance of Rest. As Christians, we often overlook the significance of the seventh day during Creation when God rested (Genesis 2:2-3). As our goal... Read more

Husband Bashing Needs to End

Last updated on: July 15, 2023 at 7:08 pm By Abby Filipiak

To me, there is nothing that shows me more issues in a marriage than how the spouses speak about each other. It feels like everywhere I turn, I hear a spouse complain about their husband or wife– and when challenged to change they feel unheard. Why is it that in order to feel heard or seen by others, we must feel supported in our sinfulness and gossip? Our culture surrounding honoring and respecting our husbands in particular has drastically changed... Read more

Christianity Isn’t Trendy and Won’t Ever Be

Last updated on: July 10, 2023 at 8:26 pm By Abby Filipiak

In our culture, where styles, diets, and habits change frequently, young Christians often try to make Christianity “trendy.” While I appreciate their sentiment and their devotion to the Gospel, it’s important to remember that the Gospel is never trendy. Christianity won’t be trendy for various reasons, especially as stated in the Scriptures. We’re assured that our faith will offend others, and the truth we base our beliefs on will go against the prevailing culture in many ways. Christianity is counter-cultural... Read more
