I’m really good at hide-and-seek. You know the game. No, not the one you played as a child. I’m talking about the hide-and-seek you play as an adult. Adult hide-and-seek is similar to the children’s game, but instead of the guarantee that when you hide someone will seek you out, you hide and wonder ifContinue reading “Hide And Seek”

God Is Going To Use You To Do Great Things
God is going to use you to do great things. For some, it will mean writing a bestselling book that changes the lives of people all over the world.

Soul Spelunking
Introspection is like exploring a cave…the deeper you go, the darker it gets. When we notice things in and about ourselves that we don’t like, we begin to examine ourselves and try to figure out what is causing us to be that way, as if it would give us an excuse or an acceptable reasonContinue reading “Soul Spelunking”
Science vs. The Bible
Why are we so quick to choose sides when it comes to science and the Bible? It seems like we often assume that science is about trying to disprove the Bible or to prove that God doesn’t exist and that faith has no use for science, but in reality they are both about finding truth.Continue reading “Science vs. The Bible”

How Deep Are Your Roots?
Drifting away from God is never something we intend to do; it just kind of happens. We get tired, busy, lazy, or distracted and our relationship with God suffers.

It can be tough to find a good church. The worship services at many churches are either completely irrelevant and old-fashioned or are too much like a show – flashy, loud, and overproduced. Even if we do find a place where we can really worship, it can be hard to really connect with people, buildContinue reading “When Your Church Leaves You Spiritually Unfulfilled”
Is Cynicism A Virtue?
When did cynicism become a virtue? How did we get to a place where being cynical, jaded, distrustful, and pessimistic is so widely accepted and often embraced as a sign of intelligence and maturity? Why is a person who trusts others, takes people at their word, and is willing to extend grace seen as naïve,Continue reading “Is Cynicism A Virtue?”
