Love Is (Not) a Mirror

How can we know what love is when we’re acting (falsely) like we know ourselves? But if we don’t know ourselves, where would we begin?

The Healing Power of Forgiveness

When we choose to forgive, we let go of our right to get even and we allow God to take over. We let go of our bitterness. We let go of our resentment.

What Is Gratitude, Really?

Gratitude is not just a periodic sense of being blessed and indebted. Grateful people are inclined to feel gratitude most of the time.

The Weight of Perfection

Whether you are healing from perfectionism, burnout, over-functioning, trauma, illness, or grief, place your hand on your heart whenever you need to. Remind yourself, “I am healing.”

What Do You Worship?

It’s simple. You were not designed to be the center point of your own psyche.

Many People Are ‘Hungry’

We need a reorientation about what loving God’s word actually looks like for hungry people with full lives; we need biblical reorientation, rather than trying to mimic historical or cultural ideals.

Don’t Be Sidelined by Unforgiveness

The devil wants men to remain wounded and sitting on the sidelines, but God has called us to something far greater.

What Does It Mean to Love Your Neighbor?

One of the most disorienting things for many Christians in the West today is finding that they’re on the moral low ground in the eyes of their non-Christian friends and neighbors.

Arriving Home

How do we get so caught up in believing this journey is all about us? The pressure’s off, friend; all the glory belongs to Christ.

Suffer Differently

Hope—the future state of time that our minds long to occupy—must begin with a relationally grounded, material experience with Jesus mediated through the Spirit, the Scriptures, and, often most powerfully, his body.

Suffering

What we see on earth is not God’s will. In the last couple years, the impact of sin has been significantly experienced at a worldwide level.
