171 - How to Find With-Ness When You Feel Alone 6:49

27d ago6:49

6:49

With-ness. Could there be a word that sits closer to the tender heart of God?

170 - How to Reflect Jesus Like a Mirror (In 3 Specific Ways) 7:57

1M ago7:57

7:57

A reflection is a mirror image. It captures the slightest tilt of the head, a shift in posture, merriment in the eye, or sorrow squeezing eyebrows together. It’s not static, but fluid, transcribing in real-time every stray hair and sigh, every question etched in a facial expression. The fullness of emotion, the details of dress, the way we slump or…

6:42

When we’re walled on every side by insurmountable, when the odds aren’t in our favor, when there’s no action or inaction that’s risk-free, what do we do?

167 - How to Thrive on Your Tiny Slice of Right Now 6:29

2M ago6:29

6:29

When we feel welcome, we come back. Kids know this instinctively. As adults, we might have to unravel what we’ve learned about hospitality because we’ve somehow begun caring more about keeping our house clean than putting our guests at ease.

156 - This Is Important for Your Discouraged Heart 6:59

The very spots that deplete us of our rightness and self-sufficiency open us up to truth that frees and a God who redeems. The fractures sting, but they deflate pride, make more room for God inside.

152 - 3 Questions That Will Help Your Scars Heal 7:22

5M ago7:22

7:22

If you’re like me, you’d rather re-live the happy moment before the scar formed.

But what changed you is the pain. What changes all of us is the things that give God open a…
