Today
“So God set another time for entering his rest, and that time is today.” Hebrews 4:7a Today, I accept the invitation into God’s rest. I may stumble and fall and cave into doubt and unbelief again, some day in the future—maybe even tomorrow. But today, I chose rest. I enter into my land of promise […]

Are “The Shallows” Getting Shallower with ChatGPT?
It’s been fascinating to finally arrive at the end of Nicholas Carr’s The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains amidst the AI leap we’re witnessing with ChatGPT. I’ve been reading The Shallows off and on for around two years, after learning of it via John Eldredge’s excellent (and immensely applicable) Get Your […]

40 Days of Increase: Do I still believe?
It’s been seven years since I created the content that eventually became my book 40 Days of Increase. So much has happened since then. So, so much. We’ve moved—lots (as if that’s a surprise to anyone, given our track record). We bought a business. We built and sold our house. I was forced out of […]

Keeping Agreements With Yourself
I was reading David Allen’s Ready for Anything this morning and the chapter’s opening line fit right in with some ideas I’ve been pondering lately: Stress comes from unkept agreements with yourself. Of course, it’s not like this is the only place stress comes from. The world we live in is rife with stressors. But […]

Integrity
“A wisdom model” is how Morgan Snyder proposes men approach their 30s. There’s no better source of true wisdom than scripture—the words of Jesus and the proverbs in particular. This section of Proverbs 3:3 from The Passion Translation embodies truth I’ve lived by, sometimes intentionally but oftentimes not. Much of it I attribute simply to […]

Fathers: You have permission
If you are to become the person, husband and father you truly desire to be, then you have to come to terms with the importance of taking care of yourself—body, soul and spirit.

God’s Invitation to Become a New Creation
Four years ago, I started on a journey I never finished. In fact, I probably didn’t even start, but rather intended to start or wanted to start or thought it sounded like a good idea to start—like when you watch a documentary about sugar or juicing or minimalism and are all pumped to embrace a […]

Remembering what is ours in Christ (video part 3 of 3)
We wrap up our 3-part series by remembering what is already ours in Christ. “AWARENESS and REMEMBRANCE of what is ours in Christ is the very key to possessing God’s promises in increasing measure!” It’s a short one, but we did manage to squeeze in an object lesson involving food coloring :) Check it out!

Video 2 of 3: Increase your hope!
In part 2 of our 3-part video series, Heather is on the whiteboard! We cover the topics of Kingdom increase (it’s always happening) and hope (it’s greater than character). And we also share a powerful acronym for HOPE that God gave me a few years ago that has proven to be incredibly helpful in maintaining […]
