RUBBER, MEET ROAD It’s time to get down to brass tacks, the nitty-gritty, all the nuts and bolts. I’ve spent a lot of years wading through big books on theology. I love it. But, our faith is nothing if not timely and practical. That’s where the rubber meets the road,...

HAPPILY DEPENDENT Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day in our Season of Lent and a moment to reflect not simply on our mortality and our sinfulness, but on the joy of confessing — and living out — our utter dependence upon God. In today’s devotional, I invite you to...

THE TRIANGLE Last week, I attended a virtual conference where we learned about conflict and various ways we could work through or within that conflict to transform and grow everyone involved. It was a wonderful couple of days of teaching, discussion, and role play. In...
