Luke chapter one does not begin with thunder. It does not open with armies or kings or even miracles in public view. It begins with a careful explanation, a quiet household, and two people who have been waiting a very long time. This is the kind of beginning that most
There is a quiet lie that creeps into the human heart when the road gets long. It whispers that faith is something you carry by yourself, that obedience is a private burden, and that endurance is supposed to be lonely. Over time, that lie settles into our bones. We begin
