What if we’ve been the problem all along?

Head Shot: Great Things
Are we sure we understand the concept of “big things for Christ”?
I Don’t Care
Once upon a time, I found Jesus. More accurately, He found me. After spending a really long time not knowing how much I need Him, I finally saw myself for who I was, and I called out to Him in response to His call to me. That was almost seven years ago. I had no […]
Love And Fear: Campaign Update 2
We’re about to close the first half of our crowdfunding campaign! If you haven’t heard, I’m making a record with some amazing musicians and friends, and we’re raising money for gear. When you pre-order the record for just $10, you’ll get an instant download of one of the singles, “Find You In The Light.” We’re […]
Every Thought about Every Person, All at Once
It’s really interesting to see where your relationships with people go. If you’re like most people, you see friends, enemies, in between, come and go. Some stay longer than others. Some just go. Some, defying all odds, seem to stick around. It’s really cool when that happens. I’ve been blessed to spend the past almost-seven […]
The Praise of Doubt
The story about Jesus calling Peter out to walk with Him on the water is commonly used to tell people to trust God. That’s kind of the point, right?

Look at the very screen on which these words are “printed,” and you will see a prime example of something good: technology. Digital, mechanical, whatever — technology is one of the greatest things we have. It makes life simpler, faster, more […]
Growth in the Spirit — Roots and Shoots
When a seed finally receives enough warmth and water, it can finally start growing, but when it does, it always grows in two directions. It grows shoots and roots. The little stem pops out from the ground, beneath a surface that appears only one-sided. While we admire the outward beauty and fragility, the leaves absorbing […]
Growth in the Spirit — Prologue
A few days ago, I was out with a friend of mine. We have been friends since elementary school, and even though he moved away by the time my middle school years were upon me, somehow, we kept in touch. We really reconnected about a year or so ago, when he moved back to Kentucky […]
