Wild Goose Chase
September 12, 2021
We all want more. Even though we’re thankful for what we have, something inside us wants a little more from life. But we don't have to go on a Wild Goose Chase to find it. Believe it or not, there is a path that can lead us to the more we are looking for.

The Whole World in Your Pocket
August 22, 2021

Connecting the Dots
August 15, 2021
We all hate to lose. But winning something significant always involves losing something less significant. If you choose to lose, it opens the door to remarkable things in following Jesus.
The Moment of Choice
August 8, 2021
We love to win. But in the Gospels, Jesus introduced a counterintuitive principle: In order to win, you have to lose. Following Jesus can feel like losing. But he said that we only find life when we choose to lose and follow him.

Gently Used
August 1, 2021
We all believe exercise is good for us, but we don't always head to the gym or go on a run. To actually get in shape, we have to exercise. We have to get off the couch and do it. And isn't it easier when we have someone to keep us accountable? The same is true of our faith—we can only get so far on our own.
Baptism
Going Public

The Right Person Myth
April 11, 2021
In relationships, we often believe if we find the right person it will make everything right. So we ask ourselves, "Is this the right person for me?" Maybe we need to be asking a different question...
The Fine Print
April 18, 2021
If becoming the right kind of person is key to a great relationship, how do you do that? Is there something you can do to prepare? Does it just happen? Sure, we're supposed to love others, but what does that really mean?
Grownup Love
April 25, 2021
From elementary school through high school, many of us had ideas of what the perfect relationship would look like in the future. While those dreams may not represent our current reality, a step in the right direction could be to follow the apostle Paul's advice - move from our childish ways and start being grownups.

Groundhog Date
May 9, 2021
Many times, we learn from our mistakes in the areas that matter least, but we repeat our mistakes in the areas that matter most. So how can we ensure that the next time won't be like the last time? Instead of being a conformer, it's time to be a transformer.
When Dreams Can't Come True
May 16, 2021
We all have hopes and dreams, but what are we supposed to do when our hearts are broken and our dreams can't come true? It's tempting to take matters into our own hands, but is there a better way?
Easter
Easter
April 4, 2021
When Jesus died, hope died along with him. No one was planning to keep this new movement going, because, after all, it seemed Jesus wasn’t who he had claimed to be. Immediately following the crucifixion, there were no Christians, because there was no Christ. But then something happened .........

Unsettling
February 21, 2021

Flipping the Script
February 28, 2021
Whether it’s school, sports, or religion, when we focus only on the rules, it can be difficult to remember theoverall purpose of something. Jesus reminds us that when we focus so much on the letter of the law, wemay forget why the law was written in the first place.
Loophole Religion
March 7, 2021
From an early age, we learn quickly to look for loopholes in the rules. We try to figure out what we can get away with and still be okay. We tend to take this same mindset into our relationship with God, but it doesn’t work. When we opt for loopholes and workarounds, we find ourselves in a category no one wants to be in: hypocrites. So how do we avoid this?

Fear invites us to follow the path of self-preservation. However, if we follow that path long enough, we will neither preserve nor have anything to show for our lives. The original disciples of Jesus had the same tendencies at times. One one occasion, Jesus reminded them of what it means to follow him by saying four powerful words that still apply to his followers today.
Fortune Tellers
March 21, 2021
Many times, our faith deteriorates as our circumstances deteriorate. When that happens, our faith is quickly overcome by fear, and the future looks dark. The apostle Peter experienced this, and he temporarily fled his faith in Jesus.
The End of the Beginning

Random Acts of Violence
Nov 22, 2020

While You're At It
Nov 29, 2020
During a major epidemic, first century Christians acted in such a way that people outside the faith couldn’t ignore them. It’s not enough to believe correctly. We must act on what we say we believe. But how?

Nov 8, 2020

All-or-Nothing Mindset
Nov 15, 2020
How do you free your mind from dichotomous thinking to see life as a learning laboratory and not as a pass-or-fail exam?

Who Is He
Oct 11, 2020
These pictures and beliefs have been shaped by things we have learned and experienced along the way. But what if you have been given an inaccurate picture of who God really is?
Is It Worth It
Oct 18, 2020
We often wonder what it will cost us to follow Jesus. We may even ask, "Is it really worth it?" What will it cost us at work, in our relationships, in our finances? But what if Jesus wants more for us if we will just trust him and go "all in"?
Does God Have a Plan For My Life
Oct 25, 2020
God, what do you want me to do next? God, am I following your plan? These can be frequent prayers for people who want to know God's will and fulfill it. But what if living out God's plan for you has less to do with a specific decision and more to do with how you approach whatever comes your way?

Principle of the Path
Aug 16, 2020

Your Intention Please
Aug 23, 2020
Nobody gets lost on purpose. But we often find ourselves in places we never intended. If there's a disconnect between what you hope to be true in the future and the direction you're headed now, could it be time to take a closer look at your path?
Follow
Aug 30, 2020
We all start out life with great intentions. But our intentions aren't good indicators of our destinations. In face, our direction trumps our intention every time. That's why we all need to follow someone we trust. Someone who can make our lives better and make us better at life. If not Jesus, then who? And if not Christianity, then what?
Appealing is Revealing
Sept 6, 2020
The best way to predict your future is to pay attention to where you're headed. How do we change course when we realize that we've chosen a path that leads us to what's appealing instead of what's ultimately satisfying?
