How to help your student have good mental health this year
By this point, you’ve heard all the usual things to help with your mental health. Eat well. Get good sleep. Have friends. I’ve written and recorded many talks about this. In fact, if you missed it...
Alone Together
Is it possible to feel alone and together all at the same time? Recently what was supposed to be a short two or three-day stay in the hospital for my daughter's surgery, turned into a seven-day stay. Running through a whole range of emotions, here is what I learned.
Marriage, Divorce and Abuse
Recently in the world of sports, we've heard about an extremely unsettling situation involving a prominent college football coach who may or may not have had knowledge of one of his former assistants abusing his (now ex) wife. It got me thinking about a few different responses to questions regarding marriage, divorce, and abuse and how we should respond to such things as followers of Jesus.
Vlog: We All Make Mistakes
If you think you are perfect, think again. We all make mistakes in this life, from little ones to big ones, it is bound to happen. But what is our reaction to those mistakes when they do happen? Do we blow up, do we learn from them?
Summer of Love: 1 John 5:13-21
John closes things off in dramatic fashion in his first letter, but in a way that might be unexpected by approaching the topic of prayer, whom to pray for, and what to pray for them.
Summer of Love: 1 John 4:7-21
Love is the foundation of the Christian faith, or at least, should be. This is the heart of what John is telling his readers in his letters and is the heart of the Gospel message that we proclaim to the world today.
Vlog: One Thing You Can’t Give Your Kids
If you’re like me, you want to give your kids everything. And that comes with some limited obviously, but you want to provide them with the very best resources, the very best opportunities, the very best chances in life to succeed. You don’t like to see them cry, you don’t like to see them fail. You like to see them happy all the time. But there is one thing in this world you can't give them.
Summer of Love: 1 John 4:1-6
Ever wondered what it means to “test the spirits?” That’s the section in 1 John we come to today as we continue to read together.
Vlog: We All Want A Devil
So I heard this phrase a while back, and it goes like this, “We don’t all want a God, but we all want a devil.” I thought about that for a little bit and there’s some great wisdom in that. We don’t necessarily always want a God because God tells us what to do and how we’re supposed to behave–right. But the one thing we all want is we want a devil. We want someone to blame when things go bad.
Summer of Love: 1 John 3:11-24
It can be easy to get into the game of questioning other people's salvation or even your own. However, if we are followers of Jesus, we can have confidence that God loves us and this propels us to love one another.
Vlog: Have A Plan
Are you planning to fail? Now obviously you’d probably say, “No! Of course not”, but the old adage is, those who fail to plan, plan to fail. There are many things in our lives that are important to us, but are we planning to make those things a success?
