"Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls." 

  • keeping the major things major

    I had a friend named Tammy that worked with me at a local retail store a few years back. She was awesome at her job, she was funny, straight forward, she cared for those around her, she was just an all round amazing employee. One day she ran late for work and it startled me.… Read more

  • love God and love your neighbor

    It seems that Christian spirituality can be extremely deep. There are ways that doing a triple backflip into the pool of Christian spirituality is needed at times. But placing too much focus on doing the triple back flips can cause an un-Godly striving and longing. Having a full repertoire of spiritual understanding is rare and needed.… Read more

  • the gap

    I remember having 4 teeth pulled as a kid. It was a hard experience. But it wasn’t until after having them pulled and running my tongue across where they once had been that I passed out and hit my head on the concrete floor of the dentist’s office. That’s always been the weirdest part about… Read more

    After a period of confusion, I’m coming to grips with the fact that I have been drawn out into the wilderness to face my demons. I’ve faced the easily labeled ones already amongst friends.

  • simple (a rant)

  • what if?

    What if our faith were primarily established by our secret life with God? What would it look like? What would it take to shake it or break it down? What if our structure of meetings, which places men at the head, were deconstructed? What if our meetings had most to do with what God had… Read more

  • slow rooting

    Sometimes God has to spend more time building a strong root system, so that what grows out of the ground will be stronger and more steadfast. This process might not seem like advancement, but it’s the most crucial period of all. Especially in establishing a new type of plant. Read more

  • the trend

    “Yo Moses! We don’t really want to have to consecrate ourselves and have to climb up the mountain to talk to “God”. How about you go up and tell us all about it. Preciate it, homie.” Read more
