If you fancy yourself as someone interested in spiritual things (not an expert…just interested), then at some point you probably remember finding yourself in a conversation with someone of a different worldview than you offering a new quote or fact that you feel certain is undermining the validity of your faith and belief system.

I’ve spent years studying theology. Read more books than I could ever remember. I’ve served people around the world. And I’ve sat with untold numbers of people as they wrestle through their life’s complications and unknowings. All along the way, I’ve tried to tell people that God loved them. Told them that there is redemption […]
So often I feel myself fighting against the force of nature around me…relationally and physically. I see the things I want to accomplish in life and I angst as the leaves change colors before my vision is realized.

How are you feeling today, now more than 24 hours removed from the first head to head political debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump?

If you live in America and have turned on the news at any point this past year, you’ve probably heard the noise of a national debate over LGBT issues of equality and related social policies. Like so many arguments in life, there seem to be two sides to the battle with both groups believing that […]
Do you remember that car you really loved? It wasn’t brand new…wasn’t particularly impressive…but it just had a vibe you fell in love with. You knew all of it’s idiosyncrasies well…the paint scraped off the rear bumper, the passenger door that only opens from the inside, the check engine light that was permanently on, and […]
