Happy Mother's Day! Today, we open to the book of Proverbs and explore how words can have both a positive and negative impact. Proverbs is key to the story of God's grand narrative because it demonstrates ways it is possible to experience the goodness of God, despite the fallen reality of the world we live in.

The typical American spends 1/3 of their life working—roughly 90,000 hours. By the age of 30, most people will switch jobs 7 or 8 times. 80% of workers say they are dissatisfied with their job. And couples where one partner spends 10+ hours more than usual at work, divorce at twice the rate. There is a lot of dissatisfaction with work. To make matters worse, many days after we finish our work we a...

We often think prayer is what people do when they are doing their best. It's not. We assume there is a particular language we must use for God to take our prayers seriously. There isn't.

Picking up "in the days when the judges ruled," the book of Ruth tells the story of Naomi, the Moabite widow Ruth, and the farmer Boaz. The four chapters of the book are each designed with intentional symmetry. The first and last chapters reflect how loyalty turned this story of tragedy and death into a story of joy and birth. The inner chapters show how Naomi and Ruth make a plan, followed by an...

Saul is the perfect candidate to be king according to human standards: he is tall, handsome, successful and a warrior. So the people chose him to be their visible king over an invisible God. But Saul is an incredibly flawed character. As the story unfolds it is clear he is a terrible king. He lacks integrity, is dishonest, prideful, and incapable of acknowledging his mistakes. Saul's story ends in...

1. How has the coronavirus pandemic impacted your life so far? 2. Is there a person that you share your worries with, or do you mostly worry alone? 3. Do you think that all worry is bad, or is there such a thing as legitimate worry? 4. Read Matthew 6:25-34. Reflect: Jesus draws a contrast in this passage. He begins by attacking anxiety.
