It’s July! In July, Holy Yoga rests. Ministry wide, we take a sabbath…on purpose. It’s intentional. And challenging. I’m tempted to say, “Who? Me? I’m good with resting. I like to lay around and be lazy.” But the truth is, I may look like I’m resting. Feet up and coffee in hand but I’m always

Bold. Fearless Confidence.
The other day in Holy Yoga, the passage we meditated on was Acts 4: 31 “After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.” My Bible is the NIV and the Message so I like to always peek over at

If you follow Great Big Yes on social media – Instagram, Twitter or Facebook – you know that I am participating in a Holy Yoga photo a day challenge. Each day of the month has a topic and each person posts a picture for that day with #hyphotoaday. It’s fun! So today’s topic is “Calling”. Being the good rule follower that I am, and reverting back to
