Growing… Patiently
This week I want to talk about a struggle in life that I think is common to many. We struggle with impatience. When my children were younger, I always wanted them to learn things or do things faster. I had to fight the urge to just do it for them! I learned that being impatient…

At Calvary – Episode 73 – The Power of God to Save
Why do Christians get excited about Jesus? Is it the excitement because Jesus is popular, like a movie star? Is Jesus simply super friendly and so everyone loves Him? Why do Christians get so excited over Jesus? In the book of Romans, Paul tells us one key reason why we get so excited over Jesus.…

Stand for Something, not Everything
We live in the age of hyperbole. Maybe it comes in waves (like fashion trends), but I don’t think that we can deny that we see hyperbole everywhere.

At Calvary – Episode 72 – Eager to Be Together

At Calvary – Episode 69 – Faith Heard Around the World
Too often we forget that people are watching us. It isn’t that folks are nosy, it is just the way people are. We notice the people in our lives. We notice when people are kind. We notice when people are grumpy. Does anyone notice us because of our faith? Looking for more? You can always…
