I don't know what challenges you're facing, but one thing I do know for certain--you are so much more than you know. In the Bible, God reveals the truth about what humans are. It's a powerfully encouraging message from our Creator who has built us with superpowers so we can bring positive direction upon the earth. Thanks for reading Grounded! Subsc…

In the beginning technology seem like such a great idea. It liberated us from the hardest parts of manual labor. But then it just kept invading our lives deeper and deeper until most of us now feel that tech is running our lives and actually has power over us instead of just being our tool. AI is coming and things are only going to get worse. That’…

I was talking to a young person on a college campus just this week. I asked if he was worried about the future. “Anytime I get depressed about the state of the world or even my own life, I just think about all the amazing things that have to happen just to make life possible on Earth. It lets me know that it’s not all on me.” That’s what this week’…

We all want to get ahead in life. Every healthy person has dreams and visions of a better life they want to build. In the past, it was a dream about a career and building wealth, but I think people are starting to wake up to the need for a broader vision of life that starts with a healthy body, an upbeat mindset, a robust community, the anchor of f…

I hate election years. I didn’t always feel like this, but since 2016, elections have become a blood sport and all the power of the internet and traditional media is honed to do maximum damage.

There are so many dark emotions, and any of them can become a lever to move us from our…

Hope you are ready for another amazing insight from the Word of God! The creation narrative is the foundation for our understanding regarding who we are and what’s going on inside and around us.

This is the first in a series of podcasts about the Bible’s use of symbolism, story, and mythology as the Truth’s best container. This is not to say that the Bible is a book of fables like Aesops or moral stories like those of the Brothers Grimm. The Bible uses symbol to contain meaning because story is the operating system of the human mind and sy…

Are you genuinely excited about the direction of your life in the coming year? You can be. The life God has for us is, "above all that we can ask or even think". I guess we've all figured out by now that although planning our destinations (goal setting) is important, “living” is more about the process of finding enjoyment in the journey itself as w…
