Everybody wants to live an intentional, meaningful, satisfying life. We want God’s best. Is this it though? Does your life feel smaller than you thought it’d be? Why is that? Isn’t Jesus supposed to make everything better? Didn’t He say He came to bring us life to the full? Full of what?? My life is full of stress, insecurity, and failure. Why can’t we seem to step into the dreams God put inside u...

No matter what you believe about Jesus, you have an image in your mind of who he is. Most people picture someone unwaveringly kind, caring, and gentle. And he is those things. But if you read through the Gospels, Jesus regularly said and did things that seem like that opposite of the way we picture him. Why is that? Are we misreading these stories or have we misjudged Jesus?

Celebrating the story that turned the world upside down and why it still matters today.

As we prepare for Easter, we remember stories that live on.

Everyone’s facing something; Things we’re battling but aren’t sure we can beat—goals we want to reach, habits we want to break, relationships we want to rescue. But significant victories don’t come easy. The sheer size of the fight in front of us can leave us anxious, overwhelmed, and exhausted. How do we keep from giving up? There was a warrior king in the Old Testament who overcame insurmountabl...

We all want someone to share our lives with. But finding the right person is hard and making it work with them is even harder. Most relationships don’t last and those that do don’t always seem all that happy. Why are romantic relationships in our culture getting shorter and our satisfaction with them getting lower? Could any of this have something to do with the pace at which the world works now a...

What if the most nightmarish neighbor you know looks at you in the mirror every morning? 

There’s something sinister on your street. It’s noisy, messy, opinionated, uncooperative, and inconsiderate. It’s the most disturbing creature known to man… a Bad Neighbor. You like where you live, but there’s no telling who (or what) is lurking next door. The possibilities are terrifying. You already know the major plot points: what they drive, how often they mow, who they voted for. You do your...

A ‘thrill’ is essentially ‘enjoyably nervous excitement’—the kind we feel on rollercoasters or in suspenseful movies. But poets from our faith tradition often describe the feeling of Christmas as ‘The Thrill of Hope’. Every year, the December air is thick with it. Ancient songwriters and storytellers seemed to believe the birth of Jesus somehow stirs up a sense that things are going to get better...
