We’re all Kittens on the Overpass
I drove up the high overpass crossing from one behemoth Texas freeway to another. I usually love the ascent, as it’s the only time I have a mountain-like perspective in Texas, a land (at least where I live) of little topography. So we climbed.

Following Jesus Is Not an Easy Formula
{This post is adapted from a previous Deeper Church post.} Before my husband Patrick and I planted a church in Southern France, we attended a church planting conference at Northwood Church. There we received amazing teaching, and one of the nuggets I came away with way back in the ancient days of 2004 was the […]

And because He so beautifully loves us, we can lavishly love others.
