How Can We Prepare to Trust God Through Trials We Don’t Understand?

None of us knows what 2026 will bring, but no doubt it will have its difficult moments as well as its wonderful ones. How can we wisely prepare our hearts and minds to trust God through trials when they come?

Pastors Are Shepherds, Not Superheroes

Maybe it’s time we change the narrative. Expect your pastor to be a shepherd, not a superhero. Don’t demand their presence at every event or their attention at every moment.

Just like a race isn’t an aimless kind of walk, so also is our journey with Jesus. From the moment we believe in Jesus, God puts us on a journey of transformation.

We Are Not Dying Out; We Are Hastening on to a More Glorious Life

Though I never read anything by Spurgeon in Bible College or seminary, once I discovered his books (and especially his sermons) he became one of my greatest sources of eternal perspective, joy, and insight.

When Friends Face Unbelievable Devastation

I am so often stopped in my tracks and forced to reflect on how the great saints of old were able to rise above their circumstances to see the grand vision God was giving them.
