Wash, Rinse, Repeat: Jesus the Great Agitator
One of my favorite memories as a kid was laundry day! No… not because I was excited to wash my clothes, but because I loved the rinse cycle of my grandmother’s old school, top-loading washing machine!

To the ends of the earth: a faith and fitness devotional
Our Mission When I first stumbled upon Revelation Wellness, I was scrolling through Instagram for faith and fitness-related accounts.

Made for hard: facing depression with Jesus
Secular culture is quite demanding on men. When you are a Jesus follower, the daily temptations you face can often feel harder and not easier.

Spiritual Disciplines for a Fruitful Life
On March 6, 2021, I stood on the altar of my local church, microphone in hand declaring over the lives of about 200 women how God was calling them “good soil.” If you knew me a few years ago you would understand, that picking up a microphone was not part of my five-year plan, far […]
5 ways to connect with God throughout the day
In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Paul instructs Christians to “pray without ceasing.” While set aside times with Jesus are important, you can also incorporate prayer throughout your day by building prompts into your daily schedule. To start, identify “anchor times” within your day during which you can briefly connect with God. Imagine being able to draw a […]
