For Those Who Still Deal with Darkness
For the one in therapy. For the one still struggling. For the one who is weary. For the one who knows they are broken. For the one stumbling. For the one who believed once that God was at work, but wonders now if He is still. For the one ready to give up. For the one who feels like they should…

Picked by God: Featuring Tracy Cary
In a world where we pick favorites and pick sides, in a world where there are top picks and picks of the litter, what does it mean to be picked by God? Long before the earth had shape and the rivers rushed through land, God picked us. This literally changes everything. (Disclaimer: This is a live...

A Little Lent, An Invitation to Exhale Shame and Inhale Love
Easter becomes a crushing weight when we carry the guilt of the cross on our shoulders. It’s the height of pride to assume that we, who did not cause our life, did not cause ourselves to breathe this morning when we awoke, who did not cause creation, could somehow have caused Easter. Did we sin?...

A Little Lent, One Thing Everyone Should Do Before The Trial
Before the trial comes, before the road gets riddled with rocks, before the diagnosis, before the marriage problems, before the teenage rebellion, before the layoffs, before the elections, before the crisis, there is one thing everyone should do: Decide what you believe about God. Really look at...

A Little Lent, Day 16, When Suffering is Your Road
We walk some roads alone, don't we? The path of grief and sorrow that is ours can be understood fully and completely by no man on earth. Yet there is one who knows exactly what it means to suffer singularly. There is one who sees and remembers well the same road on which we journey. There is one...
-
A Little Lent, Day 15, Feed Your Hunger
Ever been around a hungry baby? They let us know they are hungry in untethered, unleashed terms. There's no subtle filtering of their demand for momma's milk. They cry; they scream; they holler; and they persist until we feed that hunger. Our souls are crying out too. We cry out with a ravenous...
-
A Little Lent, Day 14-Limitless Love
What does it mean to be loved without limit? What does it mean to have a wealth of love that simply cannot be exhausted, used up, or overspent? Lent doesn't tell us we aren't worthy of love; Lent is the reminder that we are indeed deemed worthy, and Christ opted to love us to the death, so that…

A Little Lent, Day 13, Good Standing with God
When we don't know where we stand, we tend to worry and waver. If I fear I'm not in good standing, I start struggling and striving to fix things, to make things better. Or worse, I give up altogether. Standing changes everything. The person in good standing has unlimited credit, and the person in...
-
A Little Lent, Day 12, We Get Access
Gaining access in a world armed with password protection is no small thing. Access is that slippery eel we reach for, grab at, lunge at, and dive for, but somehow it slithers beyond us. Over and over. And yet, it's what's needed isn't it? Who holds the key? Who keeps the secret? Who lets us in?...
-
A Little Lent, Day 11, Declared Right
Man, we live in a "doing" shaped world that attempts to define our worthiness to exist on this planet by the busyness of our lives. Who or what really has the right to call us worthy, to claim we've earned our right to breath earth's oxygen? Listen in and be set free.
-
A Little Lent, Day 10, Just Come as you are

-
A Little Lent, Day 8, Invitation to Drink

-
A Little Lent, Day 7, Invitation to Cast Our Care
Lent can be just this: An invitation to cast-cast your care-cast your heart-cast your all on Jesus because He is actively caretaker to your soul.

Discipleship Group: The God Who Speaks, Part 2
Here is the question: If God truly speaks, then Is my lifestyle prescribed by the speech of a very loud culture or a perfectly right God? One builds kingdoms while the other builds cows.
-
Discipleship Group: The God Who Still Speaks Part 1
When did you last approach God’s Word as utterly true, utterly reliable, utterly without a single ounce of deceit? When the Israelites had the opportunity to hear God speak, they were terrified that upon hearing His words, they would die. Is it possible we fear the same? Not our physical death…

Discipleship Group: What We Love Controls Us.
What controls our time? Our finances? Our thoughts? Identify those things and we can trace their root to what we love. We will not be fulfilled until we fulfill the purpose of God which is that as we are satisfied in His love, we proclaim that alone.

Discipleship Group: Worship-the thing we do every moment of every day.
We were made for one purpose. Worship. We do it with exquisite skill. When the object of our worship is God, the condition of our lives is peace. When the object is anything other, there will be striving and straining and a deep soul hunger for more.

Discipleship Group: The Only Wise King
In a world where rulers have gone rogue, and our brothers and sisters suffer at their hand. In a world where we want to see God move, we must wrestle this to the ground: Our King is powerful, yes, and His wisdom is made perfect the reality that it is both omniscient and moral. Listen in to our...

Discipleship Group: Knowing God Part 2 Unplugged
We say things like, “Living the good life” or “They need to get a life.” Life, in fact, comes from knowing God. Take that in. Jesus said, “This is eternal life, that you know God.” Feel that your life needs a boost? Perhaps it is time, truly time, to, “Be still AND know God.” Tune in for our...

Discipleship Group: Knowing God: What to Shed in January

The Free and Easiest Self Reflection Tool Ever
Are you like me? Finishing 2021 sideways on two hot wheels and just hoping you have energy to turn the page on 2022. You love the process of reflecting but are a little leery about resolutions and maybe even a little over the entire self-improvement industry while simultaneously wondering if the...

Advent Day 15: From Mute to Megaphone
We get muted when we have nothing good to add. Nothing gracious to give. And it is in that season of silence, God has something for us. It is there He will take our questions and grow proof before our eyes. Perhaps our eyes can see more clearly when our mouths are less busy.
-

-
Advent Day 13:The gift that never runs out—mercy
When we get a glimpse inside the depths of our souls we come up wanting, short. We do. We know we aren’t worthy of mercy, not truly. And yet, Jesus gives us a mercy that never runs dry. Anyway. Because it is who he is. And he is ours.

Advent Day 9: Listen
There are 70 million tracks available on Spotify for our listening pleasure. I can’t help but wonder if we may have we forgotten that we worship the God who builds galaxies with His speech. What’s playing in your earbuds?

Advent Day 7: Space to Ponder
We consume Bible studies and podcasts like Chick-Fil-A nuggets with a side of waffle fries. We rarely slow enough to digest and allow the truth to nourish or transform us because we are on to the next episode. Today, take a second look at the first week of Advent and invite Christ to convict…

Advent Day 6: Let Fear Teach You
Fear is an emotion that instructs us about a very specific thing- areas where we need to acknowledge the reality that Christ’s presence changes our ability to endure. It doesn’t change outcomes but it does change processes. What processes are impacted by fear in your life?
-

Advent Day 1: Miracles in the Mundane
Your life may seem insignificant in ordinary. If that’s the case, you are an excellent company. The father and mother of John the Baptist were also ordinary people just going about their daily lives. But God did not forget them, and he has not forgotten you. This is the hope of advent.
