Mountains Bow Down
We all face mountains in life. They might be mountains of fear, doubt, financial hardship, relationship struggles, or health challenges. From the bottom looking up, they can seem insurmountable, blocking our path. But we serve a God who specializes in moving mountains. In Matthew 17:20, Jesus says, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible How COVID has affected us
Don’t Wait for your Heart Attack to get Started
I had the pleasure of hanging out with some college friends last weekend. There were five of us and we rented a house in Nashville, IN. A beautiful part of Indiana with an awesome coffee shop. (Or so I’m told. I don’t drink coffee. But the owners are a nice Christian couple brewing “Julian’s Coffee,” another nice Christian man.) Anyway, one of my friends lives in Nashville, TN (not to be mistaken for Nashville as mentioned earlier). My friend was working out one day a few years How COVID has affected us
Finding Faith in Secular Sound
In an era dominated by secular music, it might seem counterintuitive to seek spiritual nourishment. Yet, even within the secular realm, we can discover echoes of divine beauty and truth. Music, in its essence, is a language of the soul. It can evoke emotions, inspire thoughts, and connect us to something greater than ourselves. When we listen to secular music with a discerning ear, we may find unexpected spiritual insights. “Have I Told you Lately” by Van Morrison, “I Can See How COVID has affected us
aI and the Christian Life
AI Surges into Modern LifeArtificial Intelligence or AI, as it has become better known, has quietly and quickly permeated our daily lives. You find AI embedded into your daily habits, everywhere you turn. It’s in our phones. It’s in our cars. It’s across our homes. ChatGPT launched AI to the masses in November 2022. Since then a myriad of companies have embraced the technology with their own AI entries. Microsoft has Co-Pilot. Facebook has Meta AI. Google has Gemini. It How COVID has affected us
Even the Smallest Person
One of my favorite movie phrases comes from The Lord of the Rings: “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.” This resonates with me because Freya was born at less than 4 lbs, she has changed the future of myself, Molly, and many others as well. This is one of the many reasons I love God’s word. It’s filled with stories of ordinary people doing crazy things for God. God can use anybody. God can use YOU. How COVID has affected us
“I don’t Know”
I hate not knowing the answer to a question. I don’t like having to say, “I don’t know.” I feel like it’s some sort of failure. A blemish in my character. I should know, but I don’t. It may also be a prideful thing. The professor, the teacher would know the answer. The student…probably not. Sometimes I don’t know because I have forgotten. Other times I don’t know because I never knew. Regardless of why I have to say “I don’t know” I How COVID has affected us
Seasons of Life
Life seems to ebb and flow like waves on the ocean. Change is a constant in our world. Today you may be young and single living alone and going to school. Tomorrow you are middle-aged, married, and working 40 hours a week. Today you may be standing up at your best friend’s wedding. Tomorrow you are mourning with family as you say “Goodbye” to a loved one. Life can drag on for years or come at us in a second. How COVID has affected us
Did You Know?
Bible Trivia! Some cringe when they hear this game is up next, while others pump their fists in excitement. Maybe you’re the person everyone wants to be on their team, or maybe you’re the one no one wants on their team. There are so many fascinating things in the Bible, many of which most people didn’t even know were there! So, I’d like to take this moment to share some of my obscure, but cool, facts that will help you How COVID has affected us
Let’s Move
I can’t get out of my head the whole idea of constant improvement. Some may refer to it as being a lifelong learner. I have a friend whose next-door neighbor was at a point in his life where he had all the money he needed and decided to start doing jobs he thought would be interesting. He got a job at a fast food restaurant because he always thought he would be good with customers. He left that job and How COVID has affected us
Devoted
I remember a story one of my professors told us during my college days. A missionary went to a remote village that had never heard the gospel message of Jesus before. They didn’t know what to expect but to their joy, the village welcomed them with open arms and were eager to hear what they had to say. The missionary started in Genesis, and day by day, story by story, shared the entire Bible with the people. At one point How COVID has affected us
