Do you remember that little book called All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten? I think there should be a Christian sequel called All I really need to know I learned in Romans 12.

This has been a week of convergences. We went from the oppression of a virus into a new oppression of shocking racism, and the awareness in this country that we could no longer turn away. it seems God planned 2020 to be the year we opened our eyes. On a personal note, the week after […] The post Let Justice Roll appeared first on Laurie Polich Short.

There are days when you don’t have it in you to face what is in front of you. Between the ongoing stress of the Coronavirus, racism that makes us cry, and the every day challenges of living two months shut inside the same four walls, you may feel like you are at the end of […] The post Help at the end of our rope appeared first on Laurie Polich Short.

This week’s podcast is on the new thing God has been doing. We may feel like all that has been happening is too much food and out of control hair, but God has been preparing us for what’s ahead. After this time we’ll never go back to normal. Tune in for ten minutes and find […] The post A new thing appeared first on Laurie Polich Short.

Ok I’ll admit it. The first part of this quarantine was a tiny bit fun. It felt like we were participating in something really big, and I think a lot of us thought to ourselves “we can do this.” We hunkered down, learned Zoom, took selfies, and waved on Facetime. Nine weeks later, the fun […] The post What does Perseverance teach us? appeared first on Laurie Polich Short.

I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. You, on the other hand, do not. And for most of us, this is what life has looked like since March: But Jeremiah 29:11 has some insights about God’s plan for us that are worth ruminating on. I hope this week’s 10 minute podcast […] The post God’s plan for your life appeared first on Laurie Polich Short.

What is God teaching you at this time? During this season that you’ve been sequestered in your home, how is God is growing your faith? Our experience of being with God in our homes is similar to what happened to the prophet Elijah when he was sent to a ravine. God had some things to […] The post Lessons of faith for the future appeared first on Laurie Polich Short.

For many of us, this season has been about social distancing and staying safe during the Coronavirus lockdown. And doing Zoom calls where we would normally be face to face. But could there be another story God is writing during this time?  This week’s passage shows us that the story we think we are in […] The post Why are you here at this time? appeared first on Laurie Polich Short.

We are DONE. Except we are not done. And we have to figure out how to live this season that is longer than we’d like. This week’s ten minute podcast is a look at some of the insights in Jeremiah 29 that can help you survive this season.

This week’s ten minute podcast is a deep dive into hope. And boy do we need it- the hardest week so far in this lockdown is supposed to be the most celebrated week in our faith. Not to mention the fact that we are looking at celebrating it with the same people (or no people) […] The post What does hope look like? appeared first on Laurie Polich Short.

Week 3 is upon us, and we have been informed there are more weeks ahead. We are stuck in our homes, losing work, out of toilet paper, homeschooling kids, shopping for parents, waving from our porches, and buying farm animals just for something we can touch. (I know 2 people who just bought baby chicks). […] The post Power in Weakness appeared first on Laurie Polich Short.

We are in week 2 of the Coronavirus lockdown and starting to settle into this new reality. I will be doing a Facebook live today at 3pm PST to talk about some of the things I’m offering to people during this time, so please join me if you can!!
