Don’t Stop Believin’

Posted on January 28, 2026January 28, 2026 by Payton Dean

“Just a small town girl, livin’ in a lonely world…“ Ordinarily on Thanksgiving Day, I would arrive at my parents’ house after work to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with my family. This year, we did not follow the same trend. My parents and son attended another Thanksgiving, Ryan went hunting, and my daughter stayed home. I…

Love Language: Holy Spirit Edition

Posted on July 22, 2024July 22, 2024 by Payton Dean

I didn’t feel like going.  My husband, Ryan, suggested we serve at an impactful church event we had attended prior. After a long work week I was tired. We were new to this church and hardly knew anyone. But this was witnessing a miracle in itself– that Ryan Dean wanted to volunteer at a church…

Finding Freedom: Surrender and Self Control

Posted on August 21, 2023August 22, 2023 by Payton Dean

Just because you care ABOUT it doesn’t mean you should care FOR it. God is serious about His children exercising their ordained rights and responsibilities, led by the Holy Spirit, while giving others permission to do the same.

Brand New Dance

Posted on March 30, 2023August 22, 2023 by Payton Dean

It was one of those mornings where I just wasn’t in a good mood. Nothing seemed to be going right. On top of the routine morning chaos, I misplaced my keys, making me 20 minutes late for work. I had finally made it into the building. In the elevator one of the maintenance men hopped…

Is The Holy Spirit a Person?

Posted on September 22, 2022August 22, 2023 by Payton Dean

I once heard our relationships with God described as being invited to a huge mansion. I’ve been to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC twice in my life.

Defining Success

Posted on September 2, 2022August 22, 2023 by Payton Dean

The world offers craving. God offers fulfillment. God didn’t create us to be validated by living up to how culture defines success. It leaves us pursuing a desire that can never consistently be gratified. But He does give us all we need to live a godly life!  Good news: Our God is the One who defines success! AND…

When I Can’t Get Good Enough For God

Posted on August 16, 2022August 22, 2023 by Payton Dean

God, may You give power to these words. Help us believe You. For most of my life, I knew that Jesus loved me, but it seemed His delight in me was always just out of reach.  Out of duty, I tried to share God’s love with others, trying to convince them of something I was honestly unfamiliar…
