LET THEM: This Isn’t Mine to Carry
Scripture: Romans 12:18 – “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”
I value friendships deeply.
Adult friends are hard to come by. (We’ll talk more about that another week.) Bottom line: we don’t spend ...
LET THEM: Finish the Sentence…
Scripture: “We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts.” – 1 Thessalonians 2:4
Mel Robbins: “When you stop trying to please everyone, you finally have room to be yourself.”
Let’s try something.
Robbins suggests ...
LET THEM: I don’t think he likes me!
Recently, I was having a conversation with Layne and she uttered those words.
“I don’t think he likes me.”
Now, had they been about her husband, I would have entertained the conversation. Because it would be important for her spouse to ...
LET THEM: WHERE DOES TRUE POWER LIE?
Scripture: “At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.” (Mark 10:22)
Mel Robbins (Chapter 2): “You get to choose how you respond. That’s where your power is.”
“You have problems with anger.”

It is ok to ...

Scripture: Mark 10:21–22
"Jesus looked at him and loved him. ‘One thing you lack,’ he said. ‘Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.’ At this the man’s face fell. He went ...
The Blame Game
Most likely you've heard the word scapegoat? Right?
It comes from this ancient ritual where people would literally put their sins — like, symbolically — onto a goat, and then send it off into the wilderness. “There it goes! Look at that ...
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.
