I’m Kayla, and I’m a mom who loves words. I’ve tried a bunch of ways to bring Scripture into my daughter’s day—before school, during soccer jitters, and on those nights when the dark feels loud. If you’d like to dig further into the journey, I lay out every trial and triumph in this detailed post. …

I review stuff I actually use. Shoes. Apps. Coffee. And yes—verses. This year I stress-tested Bible verses about grace during real life messes: a 2 a.m. panic, a work blunder, a fight with my mom, and a day I wanted to quit. I kept them on sticky notes, my phone lock screen, and a card …
You know what? I don’t like feeling small. When someone hurts me, my first thought is, “I’ll get them back.” It’s not nice, but it’s honest. The Bible pushed back on that urge. Hard. These verses felt like a stop sign, and also like a gentle hand on my shoulder.For anyone who wants an even …

You know what? Competing can feel loud. Coach yelling. Crowd buzzing. Heart racing like a drum. In those moments, I needed words that calmed me down and kept me bold.

I’m Kayla, and I care about how I look. I also hate that I care so much. Both can be true. Makeup is fun. Filters are fun. But some days, my skin acts up, my jeans feel tight, and I just want to crawl under a hoodie. So I tested four Bible verses about beauty …

I’m Kayla. I’m a mom, a Sunday school helper, and a sticky-note person. I’ve used Bible verses with my kids for years—at bedtime, in the car, and yes, taped to the fridge with washi tape that never quite matches. This isn’t theory. This is what I do at home, what I’ve tried in my classroom, …

I’m Kayla. I played midfield in high school. Now I coach a scrappy U14 squad and run 5Ks on weekends. I’ve bought a few “Bible quotes for sports” things over the years—an FCA Athlete’s Bible, a pocket verse set I taped inside a gear bag, and a couple of YouVersion athlete reading plans.For the complete …
I wish I didn’t know this topic so well. But I do. I’ve used these verses when my sister stopped talking to me for six months, when my marriage hit a wall over money, and when a close friend shared a secret that wasn’t hers to share. I’m not a pastor. I’m just Kayla, a …

I’m Kayla, and I actually did this (the full back-story lives here). I set a timer. I made coffee. I read a few verses each morning for a month. My dog slept at my feet. I didn’t plan to feel much. I was wrong. You know what? This topic isn’t cozy. But it’s clear. And …
