"Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord" – a simple verse that raises profound questions about our relationship with God. Can we change the divine mind? The story of Noah reveals something far more transformative: it's not about convincing God to be merciful, but about positioning ourselves to receive the mercy He already desires to give. Through this ancient narrative, we discover that finding favor with God isn't about changing His mind—it's about allowing His unchanging nature to transform ours. Dive into this exploration of divine favor, human faith, and the beautiful truth about God's consistent character.

In the luminous moments between past and present, just like a path through an enchanted forest, our journey of growth reveals itself as more beautiful than we imagined. C.S. Lewis, from his study at Oxford's Magdalen College, offers us a profound truth: your past self didn't fail - they succeeded in bringing you exactly where you needed to be. Through the lens of Lewis's own transformation from atheist to Christian apologist, discover how every step, even those that seemed to lead astray, was illuminating the path forward. This reflection explores how our perceived failures are often like waves that propel a boat forward, or switchbacks on a mountain trail that make the impossible climb possible. Join us as we explore why your previous chapters weren't mistakes, but rather stepping stones guiding you through your own enchanted journey of faith and personal growth.
