The Key Benefits of Isolation and Solitude

October 19, 2026 | By |

We all experience seasons when we desire to be alone to gather our thoughts. But when we intentionally spend that time with God, isolation can become sacred solitude—a place for spiritual growth, renewal, and preparation. Jesus often withdrew to isolated places to deepen his intimacy with God, for refueling and preparing spiritually.

There are several references of Jesus withdrawing Himself to commune with God, and here is one of the passages:

“Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray.” (Mark 1:35 (NLT)

Whether you are a seasoned believer or a new babe in Christ, spending time alone with God helps deepen our relationship with Him. Jesus demonstrated the importance of stepping away from the noise and demands of life to pray, seek direction, and hear from the Father.

Jesus also used solitude to refuel. His ministry involved teaching, healing, serving, and pouring into others. Likewise, as believers, we cannot continually pour out without allowing God to pour back into us. Solitude allows us to receive renewed strength, wisdom, and spiritual clarity.

Finally, solitude prepares us for what God has called us to do. Jesus prayed before making important decisions and facing significant moments in His ministry. We, too, need intentional time with God so that we are spiritually equipped to walk in His will and share His Word boldly and effectively.

The S.A.L.T. Connection helps women develop spiritual disciplines that lead to a deeper, more intimate relationship with God. If you desire to grow in studying God’s Word, prayer, worship, and intentional time with Him, we invite you to consider becoming a new SALT student.

You can also help make this transformational journey possible for other women. Your prayers, support, and financial donations help The S.A.L.T. Connection continue planting seeds of spiritual growth, discipleship, and transformation.

Come grow with us—or sow into the growth of another woman. There is a place for you at The S.A.L.T. Connection.

A Reminder When Feeling Broken

July 17, 2026 | By |

Brokenness is the state or quality of being fractured, damaged, or no longer functioning correctly.  It’s a state of emotional pain that makes you feel defeated and the trauma can crush you spiritually.

There have been times when I see or talk to others and I ask, “how are you doing?” Their response sometimes may be “life has been lifing.” What I interpret them saying is that life has thrown them some curve balls.  The statement is becoming clearer to me. I feel we are allowing the troubles of life to consume us, stress us, and break us. We’re sleeping a lot, crying, overeating and so many other things that are not pleasing to God. We’ve forgotten that God is our source.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalms 34:18 (NIV)

During your moments of brokenness; God uses these moments to soften your heart, foster reliance on Him and begin a process of complete restoration. He’s allowing us to draw closer to Him.

If you’ve ever been in a season of brokenness or you’re in one right now say this out loud; “God, you are my source and you will meet all my needs according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:19 (NIV)

When facing personal brokenness, The S.A.L.T. Connection is a supportive group of women who are waiting to walk alongside you. Break the isolation by joining one of our Mentoring Programs designed to draw you closer to God. You can also grow with us through partnership opportunities and donations.

Remember God calls each of us according to His purpose. You heal from brokenness when you yield first to God.

Let’s Make it Personal

June 17, 2026 | By |

Today, we will reflect on our personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Let’s practice personalizing Scripture so it comes alive in our everyday lives. Sometimes we read Scripture as instructions, but how often do we personalize it? How often do we turn God’s Word into daily affirmations?

Here, I’ll give you two examples of verses you can start with.

“I will trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding; I will acknowledge Him in all my ways, and He shall direct my paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)

“Father God, I give all my cares and worries to You because You care for me.” (1 Peter 5:7 (NLT)

Imagine how beautiful those personalized words from God’s Word sound coming back to the ears of our loving Father, who listens so attentively to His children.

Three things I can promise you’ll receive by personalizing Scripture:

  • Making it personal builds intimacy with God.
  • Making it personal deepens your focus.
  • Making it personal renews your mindset.

This month, we are celebrating our SALT graduates because they were reminded that spiritual growth happens when God’s Word becomes personal. Each graduate has chosen to invest in learning, growing, and allowing God’s truth to shape their lives.

Today, I encourage you to ask yourself: “What is my next step?”

Perhaps God is leading you to become a future SALT student and deepen your understanding of His Word. Perhaps He is calling you to become a donor, helping make it possible for others to experience the life-changing benefits of the SALT program.

God is the Living Word

May 14, 2026 | By |

God’s living word is essential because it is active, powerful, and serves as a direct divinely inspired lifeline between God and humanity. It enables salvation, spiritual growth and transformation.  

The Bible can never be completely comprehended. It breathes life into dead souls. It makes a difference in our thinking, behavior and attitude. It acts as a divine scalpel, performing spiritual surgery by reaching the hidden places where our own logic cannot go. It doesn’t just inform our minds; it resuscitates our spirits, breathing life into dead souls and re-aligning our thinking, behavior and attitude with His perfect will.

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart” 

– Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)

Holy Bible open on a stand inside a church, symbolizing faith and spirituality.


Meditating on God’s Word is like marinating in His truth—mulling over, reflecting, and dwelling on the Scriptures until they saturate our hearts. But knowledge alone is not the goal. Application of God’s living Word requires active engagement and obedience to Him. 

If we merely observe the Word without applying it, we remain spiritually stagnant, missing the vital power it offers.We essentially refuse the very ‘spiritual surgery’ intended to heal us, leaving the living Word on the shelf while our hearts remain unchanged. 

Real transformation requires us to move beyond hearing to active engagement with Him. When we step out in obedience to His living Word, the result is a life completely redefined. This is what I love about our ministry; it has transformed my life by showing me that God’s Word isn’t just a book—it’s alive in me.

At the S.A.L.T. Connection, we’re committed to equipping women with biblical truth, nurturing faith that endures, and creating a life-giving community where transformation takes root. We invite you to partner with us through your giving and prayers to help expand this life-changing kingdom work; cultivating lasting spiritual impact for generations to come.
