Too many of us try to create and live out our true identity on our own, but that’s foolish. On your own you’ll either believe you are better or worse than you actually are. The “true you” can only emerge while being a part of a community, which...

In the pursuit of goals and dreams, one of our great temptations is to get so caught up in where we are going that we fail to focus on who we are becoming. The world rewards success at all costs, but Jesus warns us that HOW we get there matters more...

Once we have listened to what God says about us, our journey toward a new identity can begin. The next step is to focus on what we’ve been given in life, our unique God-given skills, gifts, and passions. Too often we try to pursue a life that is...

Despite what Jesus had told them about his resurrection, the disciples accepted the false reality that he was dead and gone forever. Like them, we have bought into a false reality about who we are (based on our mistakes, our family of origin, what we...

Good is the enemy of great. We assume God wants to make us into good, polite, obedient, dutiful (IOW-“religious”) people, but God wants to make us great. Greatness is found where would never expect, however, by laying down our lives for the most...

We want to be taught, to learn, to be inspired, but that’s where we often stop. God’s desire isn’t to make us smarter but to change us into the people we long to be.

We see horrible situations all around us. Good people who struggle with illness, innocent children are mistreated, faithful workers are displaced. When we are overwhelmed by injustice, crying out to the God who loves them is the place we need to start.
