In today’s culture, we encounter a variety of perspectives, opinions, and ideologies. Many people have shifted from seeking the absolute truth to searching for a personalized version of truth. It’s not uncommon to hear someone speak in terms of “my truth.” As Christians, we are called to a higher standard, one that is rooted in

I’m incredibly excited to kick off a series of podcast episodes I’ve been working on for quite some time called “The Seven Deadly Sins of Ministry.” Several years ago, I began writing and collecting notes as I watched people struggle in ministry for different reasons and faced struggles of my own. Sadly, over the years,

We all face times when we don’t understand what God is doing. Perhaps we lose a loved one, or we receive an unexpected and upsetting diagnosis. We struggle as we walk through painfully devastating circumstances. We don’t see life making sense, and even more discouraging, we don’t see God making sense. So, we look to

The week between Palm Sunday and Easter is often called “Holy Week.” This is the last week of Jesus’s ministry, which includes landmark events with the community, His disciples, local religious officials, and political authorities. Holy Week culminates with Jesus’s arrest, crucifixion, death, and burial. Thankfully, the story didn’t end there! Sunday brought an empty
