Why We’re Here

This week we’re pausing from our usual format to simply introduce ourselves and share a little more about why we do this.

We are Dave and Amy, and we started this blog not because we have all the answers, but because we care about you. We believe God calls His people to walk together, to remind one another that none of us are ever truly alone. Life can be heavy, but when love is shared, the weight begins to lift.

The Bible tells us to “love one another” (John 13:34), to “encourage one another and build each other up” (1 Thessalonians 5:11), and to “bear one another’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2). That is what we want this blog to be—a place where burdens are shared, love is real, and encouragement flows both ways.

We would prefer to know each of you personally—to sit down over a cup of coffee, to hear about your family, to understand your struggles, and to walk beside you in this journey called life. But in this modern age, it has become difficult to connect in traditional ways with most of you. Thankfully, we are blessed with technology that can reach around the globe. Through this space, we can share the journey and walk alongside one another no matter where you live.

But here’s the key: this is not just about us writing and you reading. It’s about knowing that someone truly cares for you. To share the journey well, we need to listen to your heart as much as we share ours. You have several ways to connect:

• Leave a comment below this blog (we read and share them).
• Reach out to the person who first shared this with you.
• Or, scroll down to the black “Footer” on this page and click the “Contact” link.

If you’d like to receive the short daily “sticky-notes” we send out—little nuggets of encouragement that flow from the weekly blog—send us an email with your phone number, and we’ll add you to the daily text list.

We also want you to understand how this blog works. The weekly blog itself is more of a story—a teaching opportunity that helps us learn, grow, and be encouraged through scripture. The daily sticky-notes, on the other hand, are like reflections or nuggets that spring from the main blog. They’re shorter, quicker encouragements to keep the truth alive in your heart throughout the week. Think of the blog as the deeper teaching moment, and the sticky-notes as gentle reminders of what you received.

At the heart of it all, our goal isn’t simply to “teach the Bible” in the traditional sense. Yes, scripture is central. But more than that, we want you to know that you are loved—by God, and by us. This space is about drawing near to Jesus together, letting His love and truth bring us closer to Him and closer to one another. Scripture and the Holy Spirit are like two strands of the same cord, woven tightly together. One gives us the truth, the other gives us life. Woven together, they form a rope strong enough to guide and hold us close to Him.

So, we’d love to hear from you. Are you walking through something heavy? Do you have questions about scripture, or about how to listen for God’s voice? Maybe you simply need someone to pray with you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to walk this journey together.

✨ Our goal is simple: that we all grow together in Jesus Christ.
