Some Big Thoughts on Twenty Years of Youth Camps

I posted on social media a few years ago the following statement, "At school students study economics and trigonometry, but at church we're like, 'God told Noah there's gonna be a floody, floody." It was shared pretty widely and generated some interesting comments. My point wasn't to bash local church student ministry, but to highlight the reality students have a…...

A Conversation With Humility and Grace

What would it look like if humility and grace sat down for a chat? Author Jason Gay gives life to a fictional conversation between the two virtues. It's a short read in this previous weekend's Wall Street Journal that's worth your time. "It's been a tough bunch of years," Humility says. Grace responds, "Not a lot of us out there…...

It all baptizes my thoughts in gratitude. It make makes me think about God.…...

Don’t Waste Your Summer
