“The greatest things I ever built were never careers, accomplishments, or possessions. They were lives.” Don’t measure my fatherhoodby the titles I’ve held,the successes I’ve celebrated,the mistakes I’ve made,or the struggles I’ve endured. Measure it insteadby the lives that walk beyond me – the children and grandchildrenwho carry pieces of my heartinto a future I…
How much of what we consume is actually changing us? In a world of endless scrolling, constant updates, and unlimited content, it’s easy to spend our days taking in information without ever moving forward. This Monday Moment explores the difference between being informed and being transformed—and challenges us to invest as much in our growth as we do in our consumption.
As graduation season arrives, college students begin asking bigger questions about the future, purpose, and what comes next. A series of Uber conversations reminded me that none of us have life completely figured out. Yet amid uncertainty, there is hope, wisdom, and faith for taking the next step forward.
What if the question isn’t, “Why don’t they want help?” What if the better question is, “What are we not seeing?” This article invites readers to move beyond assumptions about homelessness, addiction, and mental health and discover the people, pain, resilience, and hope that often go unnoticed.
What if the problem isn’t that the world is rejecting faith…

but to live in such a way that they begin asking why.
Easter Changes Everything… If We Let It Easter is one of the most celebrated days of the year. Churches are full. Songs are louder. Hope feels closer. But I can’t help but wrestle with a question this year:Are we celebrating Easter… or being changed by it? Because there’s a difference. We celebrate the resurrection.We remember…
Something feels off.
Not because faith has disappeared – but because in many places, it has been replaced.
When you hold Micah, Jesus, and Peter together, a pattern emerges: what God requires, what happens when we ignore it, and how we are called to live when it all drifts. This isn’t a new problem – but it is a present one. And it may be closer to home than we think.
Lent isn’t about trying harder or feeling worse. It’s a pause we didn’t schedule—an interruption that invites us to wake up, slow down, and tell the truth about where we are. An Honest Return: 40 Days of Waking Up is a gentle, daily journey for the curious, the weary, and the quietly hopeful.
After mangoes, lemons, and oranges came a 1,000-pound bin of red potatoes – on a rainy, windy day. Still waiting on cattle, I’m learning that provision doesn’t always arrive contained and manageable. Sometimes manna comes in bulk, and the miracle is not ownership, but community showing up to share.
