Bible Plan: Tackling Disappointment
In the third week of our June series, we are diving into disappointment. More specifically, we're looking at how to handle the inevitable disappointments, detours, and delays that we're dealt with.
We’ve all been there. The closed door. The broken relationship. The rejection. The loss. None of us are immune to disappointment. While we don't pretend ...
Bible Plan: Finding Rest in a Busy World
To continue our June series on Bible Plans, this week we're focusing on the theme of rest.
There’s no getting around the fact that we live in an always-spinning world. We yearn for quietness in our souls – but, often, that deep rest seems out of our reach. Or is it? In the next few days, ...
When Your Decisions Aren’t Perfect
I’m at the age where many of life’s major decisions have been ironed out, neatly folded, and tucked away in a drawer. Not all of them, of course. But some of the most significant and confusing decisions are done and dusted: Which colleges should I apply to? What career should I choose? Should I take this job ...
A Beloved—Yet Overlooked—Instruction from Jesus
We tend to overlook some of Jesus’ last words in the Bible—words He said before He ascended into heaven. Which words in particular, you ask? That would be a sentence close to my heart. In the very last chapter of John, Jesus says, “Come and have breakfast.”(John 21:12)

When Jesus multiplied the bread and ...
Rid Me of Myself – Devotional 1
With exactly a month to go before Easter, we have a few short devotionals on the theme of following in the footsteps of Jesus even as He poured out His life for us.
Have you ever had someone interrupt a heartfelt conversation? Maybe you were venting about how unimaginably terrible your boss was or how your ...
When You’re Feeling “Shut In”
Five years ago, Covid-19 brought the world to a halt. As I scrolled through articles marking its fifth anniversary, I was reminded of the devastation the virus wreaked.
One of the hardest things we experienced as humanity was being “shut in.” We were all forced to be contained in our little bubbles. It’s sometimes hard to ...
