Chronic Pain & Lukewarm Faith
Before my migraines started in July of 2017, I never really understood what the difference was between chronic illnesses and regular illnesses. I mean, pain is pain, right? Wrong. The difference is that chronic pain never stops. It keeps on hurting, after most people’s pain goes away. It wears you down in body and in spirit.

Who Is Jesus & Why Does That Matter?
Who is Jesus to you? Or what do you believe about Jesus? That question (whichever way you word it) is probably the singular most important question we will ever answer. Yet many of us don’t put much thought into it. We believe what we are taught by our parents, or in church on Sunday morning. Maybe we believe whatever our favorite author tells us, or whatever our friends spouted off that sounded good. But if someone really asked us to explain what we believed about Jesus, we would really just...

When My Mama Bear Instincts & Faith Collide
“Pass him! Pass him!! Pass!!! Him!!!!” I screamed louder and louder until my voice grew horse. The cross country runners were less than twenty yards from the finish line and closing and my boy was just inches from passing the runner in front of him. I ...

Opening The Door On The Good News About Jesus
As I closed the door I realized that I had failed again. The sweet ladies I had just told I wasn’t interested in what they were peddling had been nothing but kind. And I was dismissive. Worse yet, I had suggested I already had what they were promoting....

Only Jesus Can Heal The Pain In My Aching Heart
Have you ever thought you were over something and then found out in the worst possible way that you weren’t? That the pain was still very, very real? Maybe some wounds never fully heal. I guess I’ll just come right out and say it. When I was a little g...

The Other Side Of Church Hurt…
Someone in our church was hurting. It started as a difference of opinions. We were praying for guidance and there was a disagreement over where God was leading us. The one whose opinion wasn’t chosen for the final direction was hurt. What do you do whe...
