Before Fearlessly Funded, there was Fragrance Arise.
I started blogging my journey with prayer ministry in 2011, then built fragrancearise.com in 2018 and started reaching a wider audience. God led me away from actively building Fragrance Arise about a year before Fearlessly Funded started, but most of the archives are still here!
I’m still working on getting the backlog of posts up. If there’s something specific you’re looking for, feel free to email caitlyn@fearlesslyfunded.com and I’ll prioritize it for you.

Intro to the End Times #5: What Are the Signs of the Times?
The question of the signs of the times is of growing interest in the world right now. Even the unbelieving world is asking questions and wondering what chapter of human history we're in. Luckily for us, we don't have to speculate. When the disciples asked Jesus the question, "what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" (Mt. 24:3) He gave them two chapters of an answer!
Intro to the End Times #4: How Should We NOT Think About the End Times?
Unfortunately, the study of the end times has been one of the areas that has been under attack in the church. The enemy is eager to create confusion about this most glorious and vital subject. In this post, I want to identify and briefly respond to some of the ideas that are currently floating around in the church.
Intro to the End Times #3: Where is the Story Going?
The end times aren't a wild disaster of history going off the rails; they are a story playing out exactly as God intends to bring about His ultimate purposes. As any writer knows, the end of a story is for tying up loose ends and bringing things to conclusion—while also teasing a sequel yet to come!
So what are God's purposes in the end of the story?
Intro to the End Times #2: Why Should We Study the End Times?
If all God wanted us to know about the end times is that "Jesus wins," He wouldn't have put 150 chapters in the Bible about it. Therefore, if "all Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable…" (2 Timothy 3:16-17) what purpose are these 150 chapters supposed to serve in our lives? Here are seven reasons I find studying the end times to be valuable.
Intro to the End Times #1: Does God Want Us to Understand the End Times?
A friend of mine used to call herself an "eschatological agnostic," saying, "Everyone was wrong about the first coming, so we'll probably all be wrong about the second coming!" However, that perspective is flawed because 1) not everyone was wrong, and 2) those who were got rebuked for it! Amos 3:7 says, “For the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets." How could we even imagine that God would do something as massive as the end time judgments and the second coming of Jesus and NOT want His people to understand?
