For those who believe that words have the power to create life, Emergent Word is for you. Our inspirational posts are created to motivate you and help you gain a positive, Godly outlook; develop personal growth; learn self-care techniques; and establish self-confidence.
At Emergent Word, one of the goals of our inspirational posts is to encourage our readers to become more than hearers of the word. We believe that while compelling messages can stimulate our senses, simply listening to them is often insufficient to evoke change. Growth occurs through the practical application of God’s truths. This principle is affirmed by the Biblical passage James 1:23–24, which states, “23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like” (NIV). Ultimately, this means that implementation is necessary for change to occur.
By sharing our ideas, experiences, and perspectives, we hope to encourage others to pursue God’s best for their lives. Together, we can navigate through life’s twists and turns. With that said, please feel free to subscribe to our website and express your thoughts in the comment section. We would love to hear from you too.

Today’s blog post has the potential to be provocative, and that’s okay. Our inclination towards political correctness has kept us in a state of mediocrity for far too long. To truly engage in introspection, we must be willing to embrace … Read More
I grew up in a conservative Southern Baptist church where services were strictly an hour long. Any extension beyond the allotted time led to shuffling, throat-clearing, and watch-glancing. When it came to expressive dancing for God, many church elders frowned … Read More
