So last week we talked about the problem. The spinning world of cultural differences that pushes everyone apart. So here we ask ourselves how to not just diagnose the problem but address it positively. If the world is flying apart… what if Christians were meant to be the ones pulling things back together? Not by…
We spend a lot of our lives pretending we’re ok. Fine enough.Strong enough.Put-together enough. But eventually something runs out. Patience.Joy.Energy.Hope.Confidence in the future. But contrary to popular belief, that’s not failure. It’s humanity. And it’s exactly where John says Jesus loves to show up. In John 2, Jesus attends a wedding in Cana. Mid-celebration, the…
There’s something about a big winter storm that exposes how little control we actually have. You make plans.You clear the driveway.You check the forecast. And then twelve inches of snow shows up anyway. Schedules get wrecked. Kids are suddenly home from school. The grocery run feels like an expedition. Temperatures drop below zero and stay…
I don’t like leg day. Never have. And honestly never will. Leg workouts are the ones that make you question your life choices halfway through. They’re the ones that make sitting on the toilet feel like a strategic operation. They’re the ones that make you walk like a baby giraffe learning how to use its…
Let’s stop pretending neutrality exists. Every Christian, heck every single person in North America is being discipled every single day. The only question is whether it’s happening by the way of Jesus or by an algorithm designed to keep your attention, monetize your outrage, and slowly shape who and how you love. That might sound dramatic. But it…
People like to joke that pastors only work one day a week. If that were true, my lawn would be immaculate, my lifts would always be PR-worthy, and my inbox would be empty. And yet none of those things are true. But the joke does point to something real: for a lot of people, faith…
It’s no secret I spend a lot of time in the gym.Sometimes it’s the one in my garage. Sometimes it’s the one down the road from work. Either way, my feet hit the floor at 4:00 a.m. Most mornings I’m out the driveway by 4:07. Long before the rest of my family even thinks about…
Realizing you’ve drifted isn’t failure—it’s clarity. Learn how to course-correct without shame, reset your spiritual direction, and realign your life with grace and purpose.
From the Wizard of Oz to the algorithm that drives your social media feed, it’s easy to feel like the system is against you. The wizard is distant and unapproachable, hiding behind a curtain. The algorithm is invisible, impersonal, and relentlessly evaluating, rewarding, and punishing based on performance. That way of thinking has a way…
Most people assume belonging has to be earned. Work hard enough.Clean yourself up enough.Prove you’re serious enough. That assumption shows up everywhere from jobs and friendships, to families and even our faith lives. But John 1:6-13 blows that whole idea up. The central message is simple and even a little unsettling: Faith makes us family….
