I sometimes feel like I am on a constant search to find the “thing” that will make me “better.” We seriously sometimes think there is some thing or some circumstance that will make us better. We think, once I get married, once I have kids, once I get that job, or the promotion, or when …

Are you tired? Worn out?…
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to Me. Get away with Me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on …
Orientation. Disorientation. Reorientation.
When I heard/learned about orientation, disorientation, reorientation in November of 2016, it was life changing for me. It was in a podcast, Rob Bell’s RobCast Wisdom # 9. It released the Thursday after the Tuesday 2016 Presidential Election if I remember correctly. Rob and Pete Rollins discussed what the country was going through and shared …

I Think I Know Best
I tend to think that I know what is best. I think I know what should happen and how it should happen and when it should happen. I don't think I am alone in this type of thinking. We tend to think we know what is best, we think we know how things, whatever things, …
Embrace All of It.

Experiencing God’s love, knowing His hope, and living from there, is the better Way. Lots of people make New Year’s resolutions or set goals for …

I’ve been thinking about, and this seems funny to even have to say, but I want to say, “Be kind to yourself. Be a good friend to yourself. Practice self-compassion.” It seems like this should be a no-brainer. Like of course we would be kind to ourselves. But I don’t think we are usually. Like …
