It’s been a while. “‘Snow” joke, I know.
I thought I’d come and share more stories about faith in the little things, which end up being not so little.… Read More It’s been a while. “‘Snow” joke, I know.

When You’re Told To “Pray More”: God Hasn’t Left
As a lifetime Christian, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that when people are in despair, they just need to pray more. “Keep looking to Jesus,” they say. “God is still here.” “If you feel like you’re praying to a wall, He hasn’t left you, you’ve left Him.” We can be in… Read More When You’re Told To “Pray More”: God Hasn’t Left

Do You Use What You Have For God?
The potential of being used by God is exciting. However, some Christians shy away from this. They think, “I have nothing to offer, God can’t use me.” For these Christians, God’s omnipresence, power, and authority, drowns out any of their own ability to contribute.

Texts wrestle on Goliath’s height, settling on anywhere from… Read More Goliath, You, and the Stone You Choose
You Don’t Need To Change Their Minds
I thought I had failed when I couldn’t shoot back a mic-drop rebuttal, or simply defend my own faith on the fly. If I couldn’t bring these people to the source of all life, then what else was I supposed to do as Christ’s disciple?… Read More You Don’t Need To Change Their Minds

When We Want God To Send Someone Else
I’ve come to the point in my daily devotionals where I’m reading about Moses in Exodus again, and this morning I was struck with a new perspective. For those who don’t know, Moses was a man who was saved from genocide as an infant. He was found by Pharaoh’s daughter, that is, the daughter of… Read More When We Want God To Send Someone Else
