Listen, most of us have been around long enough to realize everyone is not the same. Some people can go through almost identical situations but read and react to them in very different ways.

We all know that trust is a big deal. Nothing really works without it. When you have it, there’s nothing like the confidence and security that comes with it. But we’ve all given it, and later regretted it. Someone broke it or abused it. We didn’t see or react to the warning signs soon enough and were wounded in the process. And afterward, we found …

Obviously, we’ve got lots of questions for God, but as it turns out, He’s got questions for us too. The Bible is full ofthem. But why? Doesn’t God already know everything? You’d think so. But when God comes to earth, in the form of Jesus, He asked way more questions than He answered. Is God just toyingwith us? Oris there something else going on? Wh…

More and more people are deciding church just isn’t for them. Many don’t see the point. Maybe they grew up in it and were so disappointed by what they saw that they couldn’t wait to get out. Walking away from religion isn’t unusual. It’s also not unreasonable. A lot of so-called Christians have hurt a lot of people and done a lot of damage in the n…

In an era with total access to information, a seemingly endless supply of resources and copious amounts of entertainment, we still manage to find ourselves lonelier than ever. It’s not that we aren’t around people, just that we choose to go it alone. But it doesn’t have to be this way, and it’s not the way Jesus intended for us to live. Rather than…

Everybody thinks about money. We all want to have nice things but hate the idea of being materialistic. We hate the thought of raising spoiled brats even more. But how do you avoid it? People say money can’t buy happiness, but that doesn’t stop us from trying. Most Americans are up to their eyeballs in debt, live paycheck-to-paycheck, and are overw…

A new year represents a clean slate. We think about where we are, where we want to be, and everything we should probably add to our already overcrowded schedule in order to get there. But...what if the life you want isn’t about adding anything, but learning what & how to subtract? Our goal in this series is to help you realize how pointless it is i…

This December we’ll be taking a look at the villains of the original Christmas story, and how they might still be working to keep you from experiencing the wonder of Christmas today.…

We all have things we do to make us feel better—that start as occasions, but escalate into compulsions. Maybe it’s social media, online shopping, or a c…

We all have certain ideas of what family is and how it’s supposed to work. We pick them up from all sorts of places—the way we grew up, the friends we have, the shows we watch, and the influencers we follow. The trouble is, often the way we think things ought to be isn’t the way they really are. Ever wondered if your family is doing it right or may…

We all have certain things we care about more than others. Everyone’s got their own goals, dreams, interests, and obsessions. But we each tend to value whatever makes us feel valuable. The catch is—most of us have had moments where we finally got our hands on whatever invisible trophy we’d been angling for and realized it just wasn’t worth the jour…

Most of us don’t start conversations with explosive intent, but the current political landscape often leaves us entangled in a web of surprise encounters, blow-ups and relational disasters. Instead of drawing up elaborate plans to outsmart our perceived opponents, what if we rediscovered the love and unity possible; even in the midst of the most ch…

If there really is a thoughtful Creator who designed the world to work a certain way, most of us would want to know what that way is. And some people claim to. They're convinced they've heard from God. They know how God thinks, and what God wants--and not just generally, but from them personally. Some people believe God wanted them to blast someone…
