Complex, Flawed, and Victorious
Every life is a story. Every person is a book worth reading. Every human is a complex collage of influences, decisions, and experiences. So, if you are letting your dark and complex past define you, if you are looking at your flaws and thinking they are insurmountable, or telling yourself that you just aren’t capable
Boldly Declare Grace
Shame. Guilt. Fear. Judgment. Condemnation. Punishment. Isolation. For thousands of years these have been the prescription for and the expected result of sin. They have been codified in legal systems, embedded culturally in societies, and preached from pulpits the world over. They have transcended dogma and tradition, reaching from the major world religions all the
People Are People No Matter How __________
In Dr. Seuss’s Horton Hears a Who, Horton the elephant famously discovers that “A person’s a person, no matter how small.” As I consider all of the violence, hatred, divisiveness, and fear that is making the news all over the world today, I want to propose that we expand Horton’s discovery to a broader realization
The Power of Authenticity
Do you like who you are? or do you hide who you are? If you find that your internal conversation (what you say to yourself) and your external conversation (what you say to other people) are not the same. If you find yourself considering how you appear more carefully than who you are or who

Build On Your Foundations
“Yes, I would like to start at the third floor. I don’t understand why you have an issue with that. I don’t like basements — they are so dark, dank, and unpleasant. The first floor isn’t much better — right in the noise of the street and even the second floor still has that smell
Experience Greater Love
Jesus said, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” – Matthew
Child of a Mother, Child of God
Every human being has a mother. Some are loving, invested, caring, thoughtful, wise, and supportive. Some are not. Some mothers become grand mothers and great grand mothers. Some mothers die before they really get the chance to connect with even the first generation. Some are believers. Some are not. The list goes on and on. For
Living By Grace Starting Today
Living by grace. Free. Bold. Strong. Courageous. Too many people today are struggling to survive and thrive simply because they believe they are not good enough, don’t measure up, and can’t make the cut. They believe that they are not worth God’s time, God’s love, or God’s blessings — and so they don’t even bother
Do You Believe In Grace?
Do you believe in grace? When you ask yourself what you need in order to be successful in life, what do you believe the answer is? When you consider the pursuit of happiness, fulfillment, peace, and joy, what do you identify as the root cause? When you are in the fight of your life for
Change Your Culture
Have you ever noticed that Jesus was just as comfortable touching lepers, healing the blind, and raising the dead as He was partying with tax collectors, discussing the finer points of the law with the rulers of the synagogue, connecting with people of other ethnicities and religions, and meeting with the wealthiest and most powerful people
