Is there really a God? Is there logical evidence that can prove God’s existence? These are absolutely critical questions to be asking yourself as a thinking human being. We look around us and wonder, “Where did all this come from?” Logically and scientifically thinking through the answer to this question is a good thing! Looking […]

You use only 10% of your brain’s total capacity. Did you know that?? Sooooo spoiler alert: that’s not actually true. It was a rumor from the 1920s that very few people actually fact check. This is how our minds work, though: we fill them up with what we hear and see and experience, but rarely […]

Lately I’ve been… let’s saying sweating from my eyes more than usual, and especially at videos that are emotional—you know, ones that pull at your heart. There’s one such video called Thank You, God by the Skit Guys. Basically it shows different people going through different hard life situations, and then it shows their response. […]

For a lot of people in our world, the song Amazing Grace is just not true. A recent Barna study found that young adults outside the church see Christians as judgmental, hypocritical, and insensitive to others. That’s not the sweet sound of amazing grace!

Imagine being in a tunnel so long and so dark that you can’t even see your hand if you hold it in front of your face! There is a biking trails in Idaho with 10 long tunnels, one being 1.66 miles long! Inside it’s extremely dark and cold and it’s hard to see the light […]

On election day, my friends and I all gathered around a TV to watch as the votes came in. In one of my classes, my professor talked to us about how many people woke up extremely happy or extremely mad based on the election outcome. Sometimes, people care so much about politics that it affects […]

I think we’ve missed the point. Here it is, Election Day, and this whole country is just exhausted. So many things have been dragging our attention away from what we should really be focused on. It’s so easy to lose sight of our purpose. Our purpose as followers of Jesus is to do just that: […]

Being in college has been so much fun. The freedom and ability to begin to taste what life is like on your own is something so unique. But one thing I now struggle with is doing chores. I always make excuses for why I can’t do them. In John 5, Jesus meets a paralyzed man […]

How would you react if someone told you that they found Jesus? Excitement? Doubt? Confusion? Curiosity? In John 4, Jesus meets a woman at a well. After some conversation, he tells her that he is the Messiah sent to save the world. He also told her he knew about her 5 marriages/divorces. She gets so […]
