Bonus: Check out the latest episode of the MercyCast hosted by Raleigh Sadler, in which I join him to talk about seeing our stories as part of God’s greater narrative. This is the first of a few podcast episodes I’ve already recorded with Raleigh, so I look forward to sharing those with you over the coming weeks too! Now onto today’s article.

Books don’t just happen. Long before the ink dries, the words themselves have to form, and that takes personal growth, pruning, and perseverance. The title, “An Update on my Novels” hardly does this article justice, because Amy Mantravadi brings to bear the full force of her literary experience—both good and bad—to form what I can only imagine will inspire the opening chapters of her biography one day.The novels themselves—a historical fiction about Martin Luther, Erasmus, and Philip Melanchthon—sound pretty excellent to boot.
Adam Thomas is a faithful, God-honouring preacher in Wales, the birthplace of a number of staggering revivals, and now one of the least ‘Christian’ countries in the UK. We have two options when this happens, we either compare ourselves to the end of such revivals, and find ourselves wanting, or to the moment before they occurred. The latter leaves us with far more hope.
Wendy Willard is an expert in leading teams. She is one of the most motivated people I know, and loves those around her dearly. In her latest piece, she talks about leading from behind, when motivation has all but dried up. What do you do when everyone around you seems to have a brave face plastered on, but you feel wretched?
