The Narrow Path for the Long Haul
The benefits of having faith stretch far beyond a spiritual checkbox. They seep into how I handle stress, find hope, and relate to others.
Discipleship
Suffering From Spiritual Anemia
We need not starve our souls or allow our relationship with God through Christ to fade like the dying embers of an untended fire. We can seek the face of God.
The Moment of Exposure
On Judgment Day, I won’t hide. I won’t run. Not because I’m innocent, but because I’m forgiven. Jesus paid it all.

It’s not just unwise to be without a church; it’s dangerous. And the reason it’s dangerous is because we aren’t strong enough to go at life with Christ on our own.
Hearing the Still, Small Voice Above the Rest
If we want to hear him more clearly, we’ve got to make space.
Faith in the Midst of Panic Attacks
Faith doesn’t always take away anxiety, but it always moves us toward the God who is greater than our anxiety.
God Is Doing Far More Miracles Than We Realize—Every Day in Human Hearts
We don’t lack miracles in our lives! What we lack is the vision, the eternal perspective, that allows us to see and experience and marvel at these miracles.
Learn to Linger in Grief
Imagine a church where grief isn’t ignored, but it also isn’t hopeless. Where lament isn’t a sign of weak faith, but an act of worship.
An Invitation to Pray
Praying specific can become an exciting adventure and partnership with God– truly seeking to pray the heart, mind and will of the Father!
Expect to Be Different
Avoiding interaction with the world will ensure not only that the world dies but that your church will too. This is the way salt works: it is either used proactively or it becomes destructive to the one who has it.
