  • Be An Example

    Paul said, “Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.”  Quite a statement!  It speaks of Paul’s desire to see those around him become like Jesus.  It speaks of a discipleship that was more modeling than teaching.  It also speaks of a man who was willing to let people see him for…

  • At Calvary – Ep 21 – Thoughts about The Empty Nest

    This week we are thinking about the empty nest. Another one of my children has just graduated High School. This means that we are one child away from the empty nest. I just wanted to share some musings about this season of life. On Android you can find past episodes here: Of course, you can…

  • At Calvary – Ep 19 – Confirmation Bias… Is it a problem?

    Sorry about the broken link… Come back and give it a listen now! Confirmation bias. What is it? How does it affect what we hear? When it comes to public policy decisions, this is a very important concept to acknowledge and seek to overcome. So it is in our everyday life as well! On Android…

  • At Calvary – Ep 20 – Can You Have Professional Sports without Fans?

    As we are approaching day 90 (in just two weeks) of the Corona virus pandemic, we are hearing of states and businesses reopening. However, everyone is still being VERY careful about mass gatherings where it is difficult (can we say impossible?) to avoid being exposed to water droplets from the person next to you. This…

  • Forgiveness – What we want, we should give

    There is nothing so nice as an encouraging verse. However, thinking deeply and carefully about those encouraging verses can be equally challenging! For example, consider the Scripture that invites us to forgive… Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32 This verse, and many…

  • At Calvary – Ep 18 – Heady Stuff… What is reality?

    Of the first fifteen most commonly asked questions on Google regarding theology, one of those questions is, “What is reality?” What makes real, real? That is heady stuff! For some of us, that question seems obvious – it’s all around us! However, is that all that is real? How can you know? Is there a…

  • Jesus is my Enough

    When was the last time you heard people sing with abandon about Jesus? I have two events every year when I am surrounded by people who are doing that. The first is my pastors’ conference in February. The second is camp. Being a part of a group like that reminds me of how precious our…

  • At Calvary – Ep 17 – Deep Thinking about Struggles Makes Me Think Deeply about Blessings

    Struggles happen in all of our lives. In philosophy and theology this subject is called the problem of evil. Today, let’s flip the topic over and talk about the wonder of blessing. Specifically, why are we geared to expect life to be good instead of hard? Why don’t we ask, “Why do good things seem…

  • Live it Out

    Paul said, “Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.”  1 Corinthians 11:1 Quite a statement! It is just 11 words, but it speaks of Paul’s desire to see those around him become like Jesus.  It speaks of a type of discipleship that was more modeling than teaching.  It also speaks of a…
