Win The #DayIMetJesus and read it before it’s released!
Baker Books has five ARCs they’d like YOU to have. What is an ARC? It’s an Advance Readers Copy of the book. It looks like the book, though it’s not in its exact final form. They send these copies to places like Publisher’s Weekly so we can get reviews by the time the book’s released […]

Happy Birthday, Aidan!
Nineteen years ago, the day after my own birthday, you yawled your way into the world with those big, brown eyes, clear heart, and the wide wonder of childhood. You chased your sister once you could crawl, then walk, then run. And then you reluctantly welcomed another sister when she took your place as the […]

42 – Find Your Feast (a tutorial on enemies)
Proverbs 23:5 lets us know that God prepares us a feast IN THE PRESENCE OF our enemies. What an amazing thing! In today’s podcast I talk about revenge, how it is NOT good, and how seeing the feast God has prepared makes loving your enemies and enduring ill treatment a little easier. Scriptures: Leviticus 19:18 […]

Have you been Pooped on?
So I wrote a little ebook. 40 pages to be exact. About poop. But before you look away in disgust, please hear me out. When I wrote The Wall Around Your Heart, the title I kept calling it was What to Do After People Poop on You. The publishers weren’t too keen on that title […]

Special Announcement: My next book! Woot!
A few years ago, author Frank Viola told me about a book he wanted to write. Of women in the New Testament meeting Jesus. Real women. Real stories. And the impact these stories can have on all of us. He was searching for a fiction author to add life and vibrancy to these oft-read accounts, […]

41 – Suffering Does Not = Failure
I’m excited to share this week’s episode of the Uncaged Podcast. Let’s start with three truths you need to remember: Suffering does not = Failure Persecution does not = God’s disappointment Suffering + Courage = Pleasing God Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-4: You yourselves know, dear brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not […]

Should you stay the course or change the course?
2015 seems to be all about change. And trust. In fact, trust is my word for the year. If it’s yours, please feel free to steal the photo at the top of this post. To be honest, I’m not so great at trust. (Well, to be even more honest, I’m terrific at trust IF I […]

Chin Tilted Down? Read this.
My mom came to visit us before Christmas. We had an amazing, sweet visit. One of the things she wanted to do was to take our kids shopping. She gave them a budget, and then came along to see what each would choose. Our youngest, Julia, wanted makeup. So off to Ulta they went. The […]

Burdened? Fight back with JOY.
I don’t always fight back with joy. But my dear friend Twilla did. Every single day of her cancer-ridden life, she found joy. And it changed me. It still does. I had the opportunity to spend some time in her home this last weekend. Her husband Johnny graciously allowed a passel of writers to congregate […]
