Saving The Saved
By Bryan Loritts

White-knuckling can never get you where you want to go.  But grace can.

You already know because you’ve tried: repeated attempts to earn God’s love and approval get you nowhere and leave you exhausted.  When performance taints our relationship with him, the Christian life can turn into an unholy hustle.  It was never meant to be like this.   More →

The Listening Life
By Adam S. McHugh

“Be quick to listen, slow to speak.” — James 1:19

How would our lives change if we approached every experience with the intention of listening first?

Blessed Are the Misfits
By Brant Hansen

Warning: If modern church culture makes perfect sense to you, and you always fit in seamlessly, don’t read this.  As for the rest of us…

While American church culture (and American culture at large) seems largely designed for the extroverted, it’s estimated that half of the American population is introverted, and they’re often left wondering how, even if, they fit in the kingdom of God.  As one of them, popular radio host Brant Hansen More →

Putting It Together Again When It’s All Fallen Apart
By Tom Holladay

Life crises can throw you into a tail-spin-a lost job, a failed relationship, a struggling business, a financial mess.  Where do you start?  How do you pull it together?  How do you begin again?

Tom Holladay experienced a catastrophe first-hand when a sudden flood in California destroyed his home, his church, and the homes of many church members. Tom and his congregation had to rebuild, and they used More →

Fierce Faith 
By Alli Worthington

Sometimes Jesus’s call to “fear not” seems like the hardest instruction to follow.

Some days you faultlessly juggle everything that is your life – kids, husband, house, job, church, friendships, school, pets, appointments, and on and on.  You’ve got this whole ‘being an adult” thing nailed!  Then there are the other days where the very thought of which ball you’re going to drop puts your anxiety level through the roof.  You’re afraid you’re forgetting something.  More →
