House on the Rock

Finding gospel hope in a broken world

 The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on the rock. 

Matthew 7:25 CSB

Welcome!

This blog is a journey toward the rock of gospel hope when life seems to be crumbling beneath your feet. Whether you’re in the valley, through the valley, or you know a valley is coming, I’d love for you to join me on the journey.

Join me!
