Holy Thursday’s Quiet Weight
Holy Thursday always holds this quiet kind of weight.
It doesn't come with the fanfare of Palm Sunday or the heartbreak of Good Friday. It sits quietly in the middle — tender, sacred, and often overlooked in its profound ...
Holy Week, Wednesday
Last week, we traveled to Hilton Head for Tom’s dad’s memorial. It was a sacred and fun time… but let me set the stage: 20 family members. In one house. Some I'd never spent time with before.
For multiple days.
I’m an only child.
So, ...
Hijacked
Years ago, we launched a campus in Uganda.
It was bold. And for a while, beautiful.
Born out of a dream to bring Christ, hope, and empowerment to a place that deserved far more than the world was giving it. We had a group of people that ...
Peter
When I was a kid, my dad had this massive garden—actually, calling it a garden doesn’t even do it justice. It was basically a small farm in our backyard. We grew everything imaginable, but especially corn. And when I say corn, I mean hundreds ...
How Much Does 75 Pounds Really Weigh?
Have you ever wondered how much seventy-five pounds actually weighs? It's heavy enough to be awkward, noticeable, impossible to carry discreetly. It's the weight of a child sleeping heavily in your arms.
It's the bulk of an overstuffed ...
From Spectator to Participant
I’ve spent countless hours sitting in bleachers, auditoriums, and crowded church pews, watching.
Watching my kids in whatever endeavor they were attempting. Soccer. Plays. Musicals.
Sometimes my kids loved my “spectating,” other ...
Night Vision
I've come to know the hours between 2 and 4 a.m. intimately.
Not by choice—I'm not a night owl—but because these are the hours when sleep often eludes me. I lie awake while the world around me slumbers, my mind suddenly alert in the ...
Nicodemus: Living the Questions
There’s something powerful about good questions—the kind that linger, that hold space for something surprising to be born. The kind that leaves us thoughtfully unsettled, uncertain enough to make room for something deeper to emerge.

The Difference Between Better and New
"There was a man of the Pharisees sect, Nicodemus, a prominent leader among the Jews. Late one night he visited Jesus..." – John 3:1-2
There's something uniquely honest about darkness.
Late at night, when distractions fade away and ...
Once You’ve Seen It . . . You Can Never Go Back
Scripture: John 20:18 – "Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, 'I have seen the Lord'—and that he had said these things to her."
Once you've seen it, you can never go back.
Ever had that happen?
You’ve seen something so ...
When God Bypasses the System
Scripture: John 20:17-18 – "Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: 'I have seen the Lord!'
It happened again on TikTok.
We posted a clip from one of the messages on grief.
I got a notification that I had "a comment." ...
Real Cost
Scripture: Luke 8:3 – "And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means."
I've been thinking about Mary Magdalene a lot lately.
Pardon for a moment of ...
