Be the Center
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…

Bring Your Emptiness. Watch Jesus Work.
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…

When Life Is Snowed In, the Invitation Still Stands
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.

That might sound dramatic. But it…

I Don’t Workout To Look Good
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…

What If God Isn’t Disappointed In You?
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…
