Hi Reader, My name is Caroline, and I am in charge of all the communication-related projects here at First15. Craig invited me to share about what I’m challenging myself with this year, so if you’d like to find out more and be a part of the challenge with me, read the blog below. I…
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 Every morning that you wake up and experience God through First15, I hope you’re filled with fresh vision. Daily, moment by moment communion with God births vision in a way that’s unique and powerful. But throughout…
In all the busyness, Thanksgiving totally hit me by surprise this week. It seems like all of the sudden it’s cold outside, the leaves are changing, miraculously the Cowboys are somehow relevant again, and Rachel is asking me what we want to cook for our family’s Thanksgiving celebration.

And all this generosity really got me praying and thinking. Heading into the fall is a unique opportunity…
“For Your Glory” began from a desire to ask God to use me in a more peaceful, joyful way. I’ve found that oftentimes the songs written with the focus of asking God to move are heavier, and more intense. But as I’ve grown in my pursuit of joining God where he’s at work, I’m finding his…
“Pray then like this: ‘Our Father in heaven…’” (Matthew 6:9). Maybe the most profound shift Jesus made in the way we see God is found in these first words of The Lord’s Prayer. For those of us who grew up within Christianity, or even were aware of the basic tenets of the faith, the idea…
