Yes – you read that spelling correctly. I actually meant to say “mourning”, and not “morning.” Might sound weird at first right? But hang in there with me – what if it is not weird at all? What if I told you that it would be possible for us to experience joy even in theContinue reading “Joy in the Mourning”

Freely Love and Freely Give
I really don’t like goodbyes. Actually, I quite hate them. I despise the thought of having grown so incredibly attached to someone, just to say goodbye to them and either never see them again, or not see them near as much as you once did due to one of you moving far away. Goodbyes areContinue reading “Freely Love and Freely Give”
The Other Side of Yes
It is true that there is hard that comes with saying yes to God. It is true that God will ask us to do things that will often seem so incredibly beyond us and cause us to ask God if He is sure that He chose the right person for whatever He is asking usContinue reading “The Other Side of Yes”
Walking the Narrow Road
Matthew 7:13-14: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it”, (NIV). How do we find this way to life? How do weContinue reading “Walking the Narrow Road”
Beyond Broken
I know the feeling. The feeling of having hit your limit. The feeling that you can’t do it because it’s way too hard, and you aren’t strong enough. The feeling that you cannot possibly take one more step, cry one more tear, or go to bed another night living in the reality that the nextContinue reading “Beyond Broken”

Whatever has been going on at Asbury the past couple of weeks – whether you call it a “revival”, “awakening”, or “outpouring”, we all seem to agree that we have witnessed an incredibly powerful move of The Holy Spirit that has started in Wilmore and continued to spark on other colllege campuses, churches, and manyContinue reading “The Asbury Outpouring: Some Things I Have Learned”
Do You Trust Me?
What if God asked you if you trust him: would you say yes? Would you say that you trust him in complete and total fullness, even if something in your life doesn’t go as you had planned or like you wanted it to? Would you say that you trust God even if you lose somethingContinue reading “Do You Trust Me?”
Love Without Limits
Sometimes we are afraid to love. Sometimes love intimidates us. Sometimes, we don’t want to love people because they don’t love us in return. Some of us may be in love, some of us may dream of falling in love some day, and some of us be scared out of our minds to fall inContinue reading “Love Without Limits”
God, Help Me See the Good
Hey listen – I know not every situation is good. I know not everything that happens to us is fun, and I know sometimes the pain we feel from difficult circumstances we face in life can feel more physically painful than if we were actually hit by a bus. I know sometimes we feel madContinue reading “God, Help Me See the Good”
But God, I don’t want to forgive them!
I know they hurt you. I know they treated you unfairly. I know they caused you deep pain and emotional turmoil that no one else saw, and that you cannot use words to explain. I know they didn’t show up for you when you thought they would. I know you trusted them and you thoughtContinue reading “But God, I don’t want to forgive them!”
