A reflective meditation on Psalm 1:3 and Psalm 84:5–6 (CEB), exploring what it means to be replanted by streams of water. This post traces the slow courage of moving by faith, the ache of uprooting without proof, and the hope of becoming truly happy as God nurtures new growth.
Read the Minister’s Helper philosophy of spiritual formation: faith is formed, not consumed—holistic growth, embodied practices, cycles of formation, and community.
A creative writing experiment sparked by a Facebook prompt: “Describe self-love in the midst of a relationship.” These community responses become lyric drafts and poems exploring boundaries, identity in God, healing, and the everyday work of loving self and others.
A reflective “5 Whys” exercise on sermon writing—why we preach, how Scripture shapes the message, and how personal story can serve (not replace) God’s story so listeners encounter transformation in Christ.
From the latest on our blog to new insights, we hope our emails are helpful as you get to know what Linda Furtado has to offer you as your Minister's Helper.
