The Nameless Shepherds - Week 4 - THRILL OF HOPE
Christmas is celebrated as a season of connection, family, and belonging. It seems to be what all the holiday songs and Hallmark movies are promising. But what something is supposed to be, isn’t always what it is. For some, it’s a season that spotlights their sadness. While many of us can’t wait to get together, others are wrestling with the weight of being left out. Maybe you’ve been there. Maybe you’re there now. If you’re not, you know someone who is. How do we turn this into a season of hope for everybody, not just your favorite somebodies?

The Invisible Innkeeper - Week 3 - THRILL OF HOPE
Переглядів 6День тому
Of course you want to make a difference. But you can’t do what you wish you could do. Not in this economy. Obviously, you have plans to do more when you have more. What you’ve got available is so little, it’s laughable. What’s the point of giving, serving, or contributing if it doesn’t change much? People say every little bit counts, but that’s just something they say. How do you give hope when...
The Unprepared Father - Week 2 - THRILL OF HOPE
Переглядів 914 днів тому
Everybody likes guarantees. We want to sample things without getting stuck with them. If it doesn’t fit, I’m sending it back. If it doesn’t work, I want a refund. If it doesn’t pan out, I want out. This isn’t a bad approach to shopping, but it is to spirituality. Faith requires us to step out before you know if things will work out. We’re told God’s taking us somewhere good, but we’re worried a...
The Estranged Relative - Week 1 - THRILL OF HOPE
Переглядів 721 день тому
Ever look at someone else’s life, connections, and resources, and think, “If I had all that, I could really make a difference.”? In other words, you have access to social media, right? It’s not hard to see what’s wrong with the world but setting it right won’t be easy. Our lives, abilities, and bank accounts feel way too small to make a big impact. How do you stay hopeful when it feels like not...
HOW CAN WE SIT AT THE SAME TABLE IF WE’RE NOT ON THE SAME PAGE? - WEEK 4 - DUMPSTER FIRE
Переглядів 2Місяць тому
At least once or twice a year, we all end up around a table with people we might not see all that often. Maybe it’s a holiday, a celebration, a graduation. Part of you probably looks forward to it, and another part of you maybe sort of dreads it because you’re not sure what subjects are going to come up. You’ve seen their Facebook posts. You’ve watched the TikTok’s they share. Some of them know...
AFTER YOU VOTE, THEN WHAT DO YOU DO? - Week 3 - DUMPSTER FIRE
Переглядів 3Місяць тому
Leading up to an election, there’s all this emphasis on the importance of voting and who you vote for. There’s this sense that if we could just get this person into office, or this party into power, or this policy in place-that would fix everything. And you were a part of it. And now you’re done. Sure, there are things that still are not as they should be. We’re not even talking about halfway a...
CAN YOU EVEN BE A CHRISTIAN IF YOU VOTED FOR _________? - Week 2 - DUMPSTER FIRE
Переглядів 14Місяць тому
You’ve been there-you thought you knew someone and then you found out WHO or WHAT they voted for. Now you wonder if you completely misjudged them. You thought you had more in common; that they saw the world as clearly as you do. You assumed they were a person of good character, values, & morals. But I guess not. God’s opinions are obvious, aren’t they? How can a person of faith come to complete...
WHAT DO WE DO WHEN WE’RE ANGRY AND AFRAID? - Week 1 - DUMPSTER FIRE
Переглядів 7Місяць тому
There’s nothing more nerve-wracking than a looming presidential election. You feel the tension everywhere-online debates, attack ads, opinion pieces, and whole lot of warnings about what will inevitably happen if the other side wins. We’re made to feel like the fate of the universe hangs on the outcome of this election. Everywhere you turn, your fear buttons are being pushed, and so are everyon...
THE THEOLOGY OF THANKS - Week 4 - MAGIC WORDS: The Power of Please, Sorry & Thanks
Переглядів 142 місяці тому
Few things are as annoying as entitlement; acting as if you’re owed certain things or are unaware of all the effort that went into getting you what you got. Ever done something for someone who was ungrateful for your effort? Ever given your best to something you didn’t have to do at all, and someone still complained about it. Ever give a little, only to have someone reject it and demand even mo...
THE SCIENCE OF SORRY - Week 3 - MAGIC WORDS: The Power of Please, Sorry & Thanks
Переглядів 112 місяці тому
We all know people who never seem to apologize for anything, and others who apologize for practically everything. Nobody likes those who can’t admit they’re wrong. It’s easy to see them as self-absorbed, arrogant, excuse makers. At the same time, we can’t always tell when we’re wrong. We’re not always aware of how the things we do impact and affect other people. How do we learn to see our actio...
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF PLEASE - Week 2 - MAGIC WORDS: The Power of Please, Sorry & Thanks
Переглядів 272 місяці тому
Pretty much every kid is told to say, “Please.” But it may have been a while since you’ve heard an adult say it. In our culture, we tend to think of polite people as pushovers. We like stories about confident, charismatic figures who know what they want, demand what they need, and don’t take crap from anybody. Maybe that’s what comes to mind when you think of a strong leader. But it’s not even ...
HOW ARE WORDS MAGIC? - Week 1 - MAGIC WORDS: The Power of Please, Sorry & Thanks

Words carry weight. We know it, but don’t always act like it. We’ve all spent a ton of time carefully crafting the perfect text or email. We’ve all also carelessly said something that came back to haunt us. There are some conversations we wish we could remember, and others we wish we could forget. Certain phrases stick with us forever. They’re part of the reason we are who we are. And what some...
TOUCH - Week 5 - SENSELESS: How Sharpening Your Senses Reshapes Your Relationships
Переглядів 72 місяці тому
Keep your hands to yourself. We’re all told this at a young age. Because kids are touchy. Initially, we ignore these instructions. That is-until a stove burns us, a thorn pricks us, or another kid hits us. Too much touch is a problem, but so is too little. Humans with no physical connections emotionally shut down. In Scripture we see a faith that’s every bit as natural as is supernatural. God c...
TASTE - Week 4 - SENSELESS: How Sharpening Your Senses Reshapes Your Relationships

We all have foods we like and foods we hate. You’ve gotten into arguments about it before. There are certain meals you’d save up and drive across the country for. And there are other things you still wouldn’t eat even if you were starving. We’re obsessed with food. And so is Scripture. There’s so much talk of eating in the Bible-lists of foods you can’t have; of feasts you should throw; and fas...
SMELL - Week 3 - SENSELESS: How Sharpening Your Senses Reshapes Your Relationships
Переглядів 33 місяці тому
Ever been really excited to walk into a restaurant because of how good it smelled? Ever refused to walk into a public restroom because of how bad it smelled? Smells are signals. But they don’t just tell us what we’re about to walk into. They remind us of where we’ve come from and what we’ve been through. Almost every time Scripture prescribes a spiritual practice, it’s accompanied by a scent. T...
