Easter is the heart of the Christian faith—a powerful reminder that death does not have the final word. It is a celebration of Jesus Christ rising from the dead, a victory over sin and fear, a promise that new life is available to all who believe. Find hope in the empty tomb. The story of Easter morning is etched in the Gospels with profound awe and hope, especially in the experience of Mary Magdalene and the other Mary who came to Jesus’ tomb just as dawn was breaking.

4022 Rediscover The Love You Once Had

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Marriage can be comfortable—it can feel like a safe harbor in a chaotic world. But comfort is a double-edged sword. When we become complacent, assuming that our marriage will somehow maintain its course without active effort, we’re setting ourselves up for trouble. It’s not that love fades overnight, but it does become something we stop tending to, something we take for granted. And when we neglect love, it’s not missing suddenly—it’s slowly slipping away. So why not refresh your marriage and rediscover the love you once had? The truth is, no matter how strong or stable you believe...

4021 Stay On Track

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Defeat is often felt in the stillness of the storms — those quiet moments when exhaustion weighs heavy, and worries swirl about whether we’re truly meeting our children’s needs. Parenting is overwhelming. From sleepless nights to unexpected meltdowns to the endless what-comes-next questions, the journey demands more than just energy; it demands heart. Regardless of the stage our kids are in, staying on track is not optional; it’s required. When weariness and fear try to convince you to run or hide, remember this: you are doing the best you can. Desire to be supported and...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Who doesn’t need a little pick-me-up in the middle of the week? A moment, a breath when the weight feels lighter, and the horizon looks a little bit brighter? We all carry burdens that stretch us beyond what feels bearable. But God carries whatever we cannot carry. And in His hands, all things are made new.

4019 The BOGO Trap

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

You’ve seen it a thousand times: Buy One Get One free. The offer pops off the shelf, your eye catches the deal, and suddenly, your cart is fuller than intended. But lots of these “deals” aren’t deals at all. They lure you with the promise of abundance, but the truth is, you might not even need what you’re buying, or worse, you might get stuck with what clutters your life or pulls you off course; it's the BOGO trap. In life, “buying into” anything like ideas, habits, and shortcuts, without pause, can lead you to a path that feels good for a moment but steals long-term value. And...

4018 Choose Hope When the World Feels Restless

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Chaos and busyness have become the backdrop to our daily lives. The constant rush, the noise, all the things; it all piles up until it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless. But just because the world around us is untamed and crazy, doesn’t mean we have to live like that inside. Choose hope when the world feels restless. You know that when you choose hope, it is an act of rebellion against the chaos. It’s deciding that worry won’t write the script of your story. It’s a deliberate pause, a deep breath, a quiet moment to remind yourself that panic is not the answer. Desire to be...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Ever had a moment when the everyday noise around you fades away, and suddenly you realize there’s a deeper question lurking beneath all the surface chatter and chaos? Not about the usual daily choices, but something that cuts to the core of who you are, where you are going, and who you are becoming. Those moments don’t come often, but when they do, they shake everything up and force you to reckon with what really matters. It’s in those rare instances that the story of your life can take a sharp turn—if you’re willing to face what’s really going on beneath the surface, the moment...

4016 A Love So Real

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week—a sacred time to prepare our hearts for the incredible journey Jesus willingly took for us. It’s easy to get caught up in the rituals and events, but if we stop there, we miss what truly matters: a love so real it changed everything. As Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey, the crowd shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Matthew 21:9).

4015 Go with the Flow

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Marriage is a wild ride; no matter how many years you’ve been in it, you’re always learning something new. Just when you think you’ve got your spouse all figured out, life throws a curveball like a change in circumstances, mood, or priorities. The automatic reaction might be to resist, argue, or complain, but real strength lies in learning how to go with the flow. Easier said than done, right? Marriage: the joining of two very different people, each with their own views on how life should go—that’s a recipe for some tension. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded...

4014 More to Life than Screen Time

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Kids glued to screens more than they engage in real conversations is a crisis disguised as convenience. With the rise of technology, including computers and phones, the natural order has been flipped upside down, leaving a generation increasingly ill-equipped to navigate the human connections that truly matter. There's more to life than screen time. This isn’t just a gripe about kids and screens; it’s about the quality and depth of human connection they’re missing out on.

Unfortunately, when confidence turns into overconfidence—when you believe “everything’s fine” or “nothing’s wrong here”—that’s often when things quietly unravel.

Have you ever paused to ask yourself: just how badly do I want to love my spouse well, right now—in this moment, not just in memory?

Maybe you recalled the eagerness before the wedding, when the future looked bright, and your love felt fresh and fierce. But those hours turned into months to years to decades. The newness wears off, distractions pile up—work, kids, stress—and it becomes easier to live in a habitual marriage than one that is truly alive.

There’s a powerful parallel here between the marriage relationship and the relationship God desires with each of us. Just as love between spouses requires constant renewal, so does our walk with God.

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ show us the ultimate example of love: willing to sacrifice, willing to rise again from the depths of difficulty, and willing to pursue reconciliation relentlessly.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Let your marriage R.I.S.E.!

If God continually invites us to return to Him—despite our mistakes, distractions, or complacency—what can we learn from that about loving our spouses?

Here are four essential things any spouse can do to reconcile their marriage and tap into a deeper—not average—love: It's time to R.I.S.E.!

R – Reach Out Daily
Don’t wait for “the right moment.” Show up wholeheartedly every day. Listen deeply, speak kindly, and invest time in your spouse’s world. Love thrives in consistent attention—not grand gestures alone.

I – Initiate Forgiveness and Grace
Take responsibility where you’ve fallen short. Open the door for healing by asking for forgiveness and extending grace without hesitation. This breaks the cycle of resentment and fuels emotional freedom.

S – Strengthen Spiritual Connection
Build your marriage on more than mutual interests—build it on shared purpose and faith. Pray together, seek spiritual growth, and invite God’s love to infuse your relationship with strength beyond your own.

E – Engage in Purposeful Growth
Commit to growing—not just as individuals but as partners. Set goals together, face challenges as a team, learn from mistakes, and celebrate victories. A marriage that grows is a marriage that stays alive and passionate.

Rediscovering the love you once had isn’t about returning to a nostalgic past. It’s about breathing new life into your daily relationship and choosing—every day—to pursue something greater than comfort or habit. The “average” love settles, but the love worth fighting for rises, falls on knees, asks for forgiveness, and rises again with divine strength.

Your marriage deserves more than average. It deserves to be alive. It deserves intentional, fierce love that mirrors the relentless grace shown to us.

So when you feel your marriage drifting into the “average” zone, remember to RISE, because love isn’t just something that happens to you. It’s something you get up and build every day.

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
