Where have you stopped praying for a breakthrough? At a conference a while back, pastor Craig Springer talked about a miracle-stopping mistake revealed in an empty jar. The story found in Second Kings begins as a terrible dilemma. A woman’s husband had just died...

It’s the little things, really. Yesterday I had a chance to share my faith with the woman who cuts my hair. As she was putting the black apron around me, she shared one of her kid’s latest escapades. Even though I have never met them, I feel like I know her children....

I have a confession to make. I am busy. At first blush, that may not sound so bad, but over time, I’ve discovered the insidious nature of non-stop activity. On the surface, busyness poses as a virtue. We compliment a person by saying, “She is one hard worker.” We...

I didn’t see it coming. Early in ministry, I traveled to a three-day conference on “Leading and Growing Your Church.” To be honest, I was primed for this one. We had seen some growth in the church I was serving, but it had been slow and met with resistance at...

I couldn’t believe it. You may have seen the meme going around about Josh Allen, star quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. He’s had a phenomenal 2024-25 season, was a finalist for the National Football League’s MVP, and has led his team to the AFC Championship game on...
