Growth out of suffering

Imagine you have a child and you are handed a script of her entire life laid out before you. Better yet, you are given an eraser and five minutes to edit out whatever you want. You read that she will have a learning disability in grade school. Reading, which comes easily for some kids, will […]

How to Get Everyone to Read Their Lesson Every Week

If you’ve ever led a Bible study, small group, or Sunday school class, you know the frustration. You assign the lesson, send reminders, maybe even offer incentives—and still, week after week, a large portion of the group shows up unprepared. It’s tempting to sigh, shake your head, and wonder: “Why can’t they just read the […]

Churched by unchanged

There has never been a generation more churched and yet more unchanged. More exposed to truth and yet more apathetic. More filled with religious content and yet more biblically illiterate. We binge sermons like Netflix but rarely obey. We have podcasts, devotionals, apps, conferences, worship nights—and still struggle to live a consistent, holy life. We’ve […]

Faith is not certainty

Faith is where the climb begins. Before any growth, transformation, or maturity can happen, there must be faith. But let’s be clear: biblical faith is not the same thing as certainty.

Heaven Will Be Loud

Slaying the Giant of Anger

Anger is loud. It slams doors. It snaps at the people we love. It simmers beneath the surface or explodes in the heat of a moment. Sometimes it even feels righteous. And sometimes it is.

Disciplemaking movements in Kenya and beyond

Training not trying

“But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.” —Hebrews 5:14 There’s a huge difference between someone who wants to follow Jesus and someone who trains to follow Him. That’s what Hebrews 5:14 is about. The writer isn’t talking about head knowledge or emotional experience. […]

Are you quicker to forgive?

The unforgiving spirit … is the number one killer of spiritual life. — JAMES COULTER   I WAS TWENTY-FIVE when I became the pastor of a small, rural church in a southern state. I became the seventeenth pastor of that church in twenty-one years. Today that statistic tells me far more than it did when […]
