  What does an overlooked, humble plant like watercress have to do with faith?  At first glance, not much. But what if I told you this resilient green has something to teach us about surviving in spiritual dry seasons, the hidden provision of God, and even the journey of faith itself? A Plant That Thrives Where Others Can’t Watercress isn’t like most plants. It doesn’t grow in lush gardens or perfectly curated farms—it thrives in flowing water . It survives where others might drown. It flourishes in motion. Sounds a lot like faith, doesn’t it? Jesus said, "Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them." (John 7:38) Faith was never meant to be stagnant. It was meant to move, to be nourished by the Living Water of Christ, and to withstand environments that seem uninhabitable . How often do we feel like we are drowning in uncertainty —in a world of misinformation, broken relationships, and constant pressure to prove ourselves...

  The pomegranate sat on the counter, unbroken and whole. Its thick, leathery skin gave no hint of the treasure inside. It wasn’t until the knife pressed in—splitting it open—that the seeds were revealed, spilling red juice onto the cutting board. Life often feels the same. There are seasons when we are cracked open by loss, disappointment, or injustice. The world is loud, full of disinformation and division, making it easy to wonder: Where is God in all of this? Faith in the Fracture Scripture is filled with stories of suffering that seemed meaningless—until God’s faithfulness was revealed. Joseph was sold into slavery by his own brothers, imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit, and forgotten—until the day his suffering positioned him to save a nation (Genesis 50:20). Job lost everything—his family, his health, his wealth. He wrestled with God, asking hard questions, yet in the end, he found restoration (Job 42:10). Jesus was crushed, mocked, and nailed to a cross. What looked...

For this week’s food medicine, we are looking at pomegranate. This fruit is rich in antioxidants, fiber, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Its high level of antioxidants protects cells from damage and reduces inflammation. This fruit is indicated for those with infectious diarrhea caused by colitis. Surprising results have been achieved in chronic cases such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease eating pomegranate. The citric acid in pomegranate has a beneficial effect on the intestines as it contributes to the restoration of the intestinal bacterial flora. The rind or inner part of the fruit is excellent for eliminating intestinal parasites, in particular tapeworm. Studies have shown that pomegranates can protect the heart by lowering blood pressure and reducing blood sugar levels. This is because pomegranates contain potassium, magnesium, and polyphenol compounds called ellagitannins. These compounds help prevent the artery walls from thickening and it lowers the buildup of ...

  Blueberries have earned their reputation as a superfood, and for good reason. Packed with antioxidants, they help fight inflammation, support brain health, and even slow the aging process. If living longer and healthier is the goal, blueberries are a delicious step in the right direction. But they’re not alone. Science shows that longevity is linked to what we eat and how we live . Other powerhouse foods for a long, vibrant life include: Leafy greens – Rich in vitamins that reduce cognitive decline. Fatty fish – Omega-3s support heart and brain function. Nuts & seeds – Packed with healthy fats that promote longevity. Olive oil – A staple in the Mediterranean diet, linked to long life. Legumes – Fiber-rich and beneficial for gut and heart health.

Strong relationships – Social connections reduce stress and pro...

Aging is a natural and inevitable process we will all go through if we live long enough. However, it is possible to slow down the effects of aging by eating foods high in minerals, vitamins and antioxidants that help fight cellular damage and premature aging. Let’s review the amazing anti-aging effects of berries on the human body.  Blueberries : Multiple studies have shown that blueberries slow age-related damage to brain cells and protect regions of the brain associated with memory from oxidative and inflammatory damage. What makes these effects possible is because blueberries contain specific flavonoid molecules that fight DNA damage and slow age-related damage to brain cells. Blueberries also has an anti-aging effect on the skin by improving the overall appearance and restoration of skin thickness, smoothness, radiance, and firmness;  reducing wrinkles, thinning, roughness, and sagging. Blueberries are considered one of the best berries for anti-aging because they are high...
