God could have revealed Himself to humanity in countless ways.



He could have come as a conqueror.

A philosopher.

A distant ruler.

A consuming fire.

A voice from the heavens that never drew near.



But when God stepped into human history, He chose to reveal Himself through a Son.]]></description><link>https://www.sonship.co/post/god-chose-to-reveal-himself-as-a-son</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a04e12d618ba45174000b01</guid><pubDate>Wed, 13 May 2026 20:59:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c5d964_39a8c517c2ef425f80fd7af4a9b08f05~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kelly Love</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sons Eagerly Expect]]></title><description><![CDATA[It is possible to affirm the doctrine of Christ’s return while organizing life as if nothing ultimate is coming.]]></description><link>https://www.sonship.co/post/sons-eagerly-expect</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e536205e3a88e8e09dc4cb</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 Apr 2026 20:19:32 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c5d964_d49a3a6339284d4a8eb925f439707a2d~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kelly Love</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership Is a Verb, Not a Title]]></title><description><![CDATA[When you are leading from the middle, you rarely control authority.
