One morning a few weeks ago I was crying. Hard. My emotions were wrecking havoc and I was trying to voice them to God, when out it came: “I am such a disappointment.” Finally. I had labeled the feeling. We were getting somewhere. I used my drive to work to contemplate: “Can I disappoint God?” […]
I have been having a strong emotional reaction lately to a particular sentence when it is said during prayer before a group event. Lord, let at least one person be touched. One person?!!

Wrestling features two individuals entwined in battle and both walk away at the end. Fighting involves two bloodied individuals […]
Pray the Bible, instead! My son and I are currently reading through Matthew. We just started at the beginning and won’t stop until we finish. Each day we grab the next few verses in chronological order, discuss what they mean, pray, and then he leaves for school and I leave for work. It’s casual and […]

Something amazing happened in my city over the new year. Did you hear? God packed out the Mercedes-Benz stadium with 65,000 college students for the Passion Conference 2020 SOLD OUT event.
