We tend to make Christianity complicated. Our relationship with God can feel rigid or only surface-deep. This week my friend Anjuli talks to us about the gift of resistance .

But what if that deep end part of your story was the way to true intimacy with your Creator? Anj...

Striving towards movement vs. racing to achievement is the perspective shift we are talking about today. Kendra Adachi w...
