Grab that cup of coffee or whatever beverage suits you this time of day. I want to talk about something that doesn’t get said out loud very often in ministry circles, but probably should. Before we dig in too deeply here this one is a shout out to my ministry friends. I’ve been there. I…
There’s a moment most people hit eventually. You’ve been grinding. Showing up. Doing what you know how to do. And it’s not working. Not a little slow. Nothing. No traction. No payoff. Just effort disappearing into the dark. That’s where this story starts. A group of guys go out to fish, something they’ve done their…
It was still dark when Mary got there. She wasn’t coming to celebrate. She wasn’t coming to see an empty tomb or meet a risen Savior. She was coming with spices and oils to do the final, heartbreaking work of honoring a dead body. She loved Jesus enough to show up in the dark to…
You ever go somewhere expecting one thing… and walk out with way more than you planned? You run into a store for “just one thing”… and somehow leave with a full cart.You order something simple… and they upgrade you for free.You show up for a quick conversation… and it turns into something that actually changes…
There’s a line from C. S. Lewis that doesn’t leave you much room to hide: “Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, is of infinite importance.

It’s not about a temporary fix or a quick feel-good moment. It’s about a total change from the inside, outside, and upside down. In…
You didn’t see it coming. That’s the thing nobody warns you about. Burnout doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t send a calendar invite. It doesn’t tap you on the shoulder and say “hey, you’re about to lose it.” It just quietly rewires you. And one day you realize, almost always way too late, that the person…
Discover how Jesus breaks barriers and offers living water in John 4:1–26. Learn how grace meets us where we are—alone, unseen, or carrying shame—and invites us to a new life.
I’ve been spending a lot of time with my old 1980s truck lately. It’s the kind of vehicle that looks solid at a glance. Rust isn’t creeping in. The paint mostly holds. And it always starts when you turn the key. Ok well most of the time it starts. From the outside, it seems fine….
That’s Not a Trend. That’s a Warning. According to a recent study from Barna Group 24% of pastors are seriously considering quitting ministry altogether. One out of four. Admittedly that number is significantly down from where it was during the Covid era but 24% is still shockingly high! If one out of four airline pilots were reconsidering…
