Prince of Peace
Many believers struggle to sleep as worries and uncertainty press in. Scripture reminds us that true peace does not come from calm circumstances but from Christ Himself.

Holding Every Thought Captive
Our worldview shapes how we see everything—truth, purpose, and even God. As Christians, we’re called to take every thought captive to Christ and see the world through His eyes. In a culture of shifting truths, His truth stands firm and transforms how we live, think, and hope.
