and if not…

24 May , 2017

— LORD — Even if today didn’t go as planned, and if it’s not at all what I hoped for, and if we’re not yet quite what we hoped, and if I’m not yet quite “there yet”, and if life’s not unfolding to our Plans and if the diagnosis is not great and if the […]

Authentic Love for People

4 Apr , 2017

Guest Blogger, Michael Vanden Berge shares some candid thoughts on authentic love. If I talk a lot about God, the Bible, and Church, but I fail to ask about other people’s needs, I’m simply making a lot of empty religious noise. If I graduate from theological seminary and know all the answers to questions you’ll […]

Worship: It’s not always what you think!

27 Mar , 2017

Guest Blogger, Lucas Lash shares his thoughts on Worship… What is worship? How and why should we even worship in the first place?

The Road Not Taken

21 Mar , 2017

***Posted this on my Facebook last Friday and wanted to go into some more detail.*** When Pharaoh finally let the people go, God DID NOT LEAD them along the main road that runs through Philistine territory, even though that was the SHORTEST route to the Promised Land. God said, “If the people are faced with […]

Worth It All

26 Oct , 2016

Two hundred and fifty… that’s 2-5-0. 250 rejection emails. About 5 years ago, I wrote a blog/journal entry about Rejection being my biggest weakness/struggle and learning how to deal with it. Over these 5 years, I have received 250+ emails (sitting in a folder marked “I’m Weak, That’s Okay“) of rejection, with 50 coming since […]

Anyone who is close to me or knows me well, know that this season (past 2 years) have been a redefining season of my life in the area of who God is and how he is pruning or cultivating me. LOTS of ups and downs, but through it all – I’m constantly reminded of who […]
