You’re too early for the dinner party. We all know that feeling. You pull up to the house. There’s only one other car there. You check the calendar. Did you get the time right? The address? Sure does look right. Did you really need three dozen brownies for this thing? You don’t know these people […]

May God give us his passion for kids
Five years ago, had I heard there was a sermon series called “For Our Kids” coming up, I probably would have stayed home. Larry and I were in the eighth year of infertility and I didn’t need another conversation about kids I didn’t feel like I could be a part of. But now as a […]
Preparing your heart for Christmas

Six more days—four more days—” And now—we’re back, and we are working on our new response. Larry and I will be excited to share with you the gift that the last two months has been for us and […]
Is God really good? Because this is awful.
Twenty people came into a video booth after the worship services this past weekend and shared their stories of being in need of healing. They shared why they reached out to Jesus and how they were healed, just like the woman in Mark 5:24-34. I didn’t realize how much I needed these stories until I […]
Crazy hope amidst difficulty

Our seminary professors advised to keep some parts of our lives to ourselves—some are just too vulnerable for the pulpit and recording. But I felt compelled, truly, by […]
