4121 Live Where God is Growing You show art 4121 Live Where God is Growing You

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

It’s tempting to live in a state of “almost”—almost ready, almost fulfilled, almost free. We tell ourselves that real life will start when circumstances change, when prayers get answers, when doors finally open. But in the process, we miss what God is actively doing right here, right now, in the soil beneath our feet. So much of your energy gets wasted longing for what should be that you fail to live where God is growing you. If you find yourself watching time slip away with hope pinned on some future moment, don’t wait to live. Live where God is growing you. Desire to be...

4120 Reveal My Own Heart show art 4120 Reveal My Own Heart

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Marriage is often painted as a dance of two individuals growing together. But too often, that dance becomes a blame game in which one partner points out what the other isn’t doing, expecting change to come from outside rather than from within. We demand more from our spouses—more attention, more effort, more affection—while neglecting the vital question: what am I bringing to this table? Reveal my own heart. Imagine if, instead of scrutinizing your spouse’s shortcomings, you first took a long, hard look at your own heart—the good, the bad, and the ugly. Desire to be supported and...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Parents have so many responsibilities besides raising their children. And when everything gets a little out of hand, it's easy to feel overwhelmed as if you're the worst parent ever, barely keeping your head above water, wondering if you’re failing your children. But you are doing the best you can. What matters most isn’t perfection—it’s what you pour into your children every single day. That is the gift of home. Home is more than walls and furniture. It’s the sanctuary your children carry in their hearts, shaped by your presence, your love, and your teaching. Desire to be supported...

4118 Welcome the Unknown as a Doorway show art 4118 Welcome the Unknown as a Doorway

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Standing on the edge of something new can be terrifying. The unknown stretches before you like a vast, uncharted ocean, and self-doubt is the anchor that threatens to keep you stuck on familiar shores. But waiting for certainty is waiting to stay stuck. If you want a life that matters, you have to learn to welcome the unknown as a doorway, not a detour. History—and countless stories—show that greatness rarely arrives wrapped in comfort and clarity. Instead, it strides in wearing uncertainty like armor and possibility like a weapon. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded...

4117 Find Your Path show art 4117 Find Your Path

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

In a world dominated by social media feeds and constant connectivity, becoming the person you are meant to be feels almost impossible. Every scroll hooks you into the comparison trap—measuring your behind-the-scenes against someone else’s highlight reel. This endless competition to be what we’re not steals our attention and energy. Ask yourself honestly: Where are you right now? Are you living your life, or are you caught up in comparing yourself to others? Find your path! Living someone else’s life is confusing. It’s debilitating. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other...

4116 Step Into Your Worth show art 4116 Step Into Your Worth

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

We all face moments where failure feels oversized, where defeat seems like a script we're doomed to replay. But here’s the truth no one tells you enough: you don’t have to keep rehearsing your failures. The key to living the life designed for you is to stop replaying what went wrong and instead step into your worth—boldly, unapologetically, relentlessly. Isaiah 40:31 promises, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” This isn’t just encouragement—it’s a...

4115 Defeat Is Just A Mindset show art 4115 Defeat Is Just A Mindset

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Failure and defeat are not the same thing, though we treat them like twins. Failure is an event. It happened, it's done, it's a fact you can point to on a timeline — a match lost, a deal that fell through, a goal that didn't land. Defeat is something else entirely. Defeat is not what happened to you; it's what you decide to do — or not do — afterward. It's less an event and more a mindset, and mindsets, unlike results, are chosen. Defeat is just a mindset. This is the part people miss. Nobody hands you defeat. You're not defeated the moment you lose — you're defeated the moment...

4114 The God Who Plants Nations show art 4114 The God Who Plants Nations

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Before there was a Declaration, there was a design. Before a single word was written on parchment in Philadelphia, before a single boot crossed the Delaware in the dark, before the first shot was fired at Lexington or the last cannon fell silent at Yorktown — there was a God who knew exactly what He was doing. Nations do not rise by accident. People do not awaken to freedom by coincidence. The long, unlikely, breathtaking story of America — of any nation that has ever stood for something greater than itself — does not begin in a room full of men. It begins in the mind and heart...

4113 The Garden We Were Given show art 4113 The Garden We Were Given

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Two hundred and fifty years ago, somebody planted something for you. They didn't know your name. They couldn't picture your face. They had no idea what century you'd be born in, what your life would look like, or whether you'd spend this particular July Fourth at a backyard barbecue, watching fireworks from a blanket in the grass, or reading something on your phone while the kids run through a sprinkler out back. They couldn't have imagined any of it. But they planted anyway, the garden we were given. And today — 250 years later, on the semiquincentennial of the most consequential...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

There are those days when you don't feel like a patriot. Instead, you feel like a referee, a short-order cook, a lost-and-found department for one sock, three chargers, and somebody's retainer. There are evenings when the dinner table looks less like the heartbeat of a nation and more like a negotiation between two very strong-willed people who share your DNA and absolutely refuse to eat what you made. And somewhere in the middle of the dinner, dishes, and dogs, you forget that what you're doing matters. So let's remember together —the home front. The Declaration They Never Tell You About On...

In a world flooded with imitation, where everyone seems eager to copy the latest trend, personality, or success formula, standing firmly in your own skin is a radical act. Too often, the temptation to be someone else—or even just a version of someone else—whispers that life will be easier, better, or more exciting if we can just fit a mold closer to what’s popular or profitable. But the greatest power you hold is being unapologetically yourself. Be original.

Why chase shadows when you were made to shine in your own light?

Psalm 139:14 reminds us, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”  This is a declaration that your uniqueness is intentional and worthy of celebration, not concealment.

Pretending to be someone else might seem fun in the moment—it might even buy you temporary acceptance. But pretending is a game for children.

As we grow, mature, and gain wisdom, the masks become heavier, and the cost of not being ourselves becomes too great to bear. 

Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.

Now is the season to shed pretense and stand firmly in who you truly are.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Be original!

Being original takes courage. It demands that you confront self-doubt and defy the pressure to conform.

Brené Brown says, “Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.” This is a call to boldness. To bravery. To freedom.

You are created for more. Not a copy of someone else’s success story, but the author of your own. The world doesn’t need another imitation; it needs the raw, brilliant, imperfect you. The you that’s been shaped by your struggles, your hopes, your faith.

So don’t shrink to fit a mold that wasn’t made for you. Don’t quiet your unique voice or hide your uncommon perspective. Be bold. Be brave. Be original. Your story, your gifts, your voice—they are needed now more than ever.

Remember what God said to Moses in Exodus 3:11 when Moses doubted his calling: “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh...?

The answer was not about Moses being flawless or ordinary. He was chosen to lead because of who he was—authentic, with all his fears and imperfections. And so are you.

Stand in your own skin. Be proud of who you are and who you are becoming. The world is waiting for your original.

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