Two Sundays ago, we stood at the empty tomb and rejoiced in the risen Savior. We shouted “He is risen!” and clung to the hope that came bursting forth from that garden grave. But what now?

we’re turning our attention not just to the women whose names are etched in stone, but to the quiet fighters—the survivors, the healers...

The ability to stand alone, even when the world turns away, is a defining characteristic of strong women.

On this 12th day of Black History Month, we reflect on the importance of preparation, resilience, and the long journey toward victory.

As we honor the past, we also acknowledge how faith and resilience continue to guide us forward in our personal and collective journeys.

The past has a way of resurfacing when we least expect it.

In S.O.L.A.D.™, spiritual and physical battles intersect, creating a vivid tapestry of courage, determination, and faith.
