Glory – Kavod – Weighty

For the last several months I’ve met with a group of guys on Friday mornings at 7am to read through and discuss books together. We pick a book, read a few chapters throughout the week, then when we meet up on Fridays we just hang out and talk about what stands out, what rubs usContinue reading “Glory – Kavod – Weighty”

A Choice: Making the world more like Heaven

Have you ever been having a really bad day – maybe work is stressing you out or you just lost a loved one or perhaps you just forgot to grab your cup of coffee on the way out the door – and then somebody seems to go out of their way to make it evenContinue reading “A Choice: Making the world more like Heaven”

A Starbucks Conversation: Good News, Or Not?

The other day, as I sat at Starbucks, a guy across from me saw a girl in line that he worked with. They began talking, as people do, and pretty soon I started hearing some scripture being referenced.

Breaking Barriers

Over the last several years, reading has become a staple in my life. Specifically, I’ve made it a point to read things that challenge me to grow or change or expand my knowledge or outlook in some way. I do read some things just for fun as well, so I’m not saying fiction is aContinue reading “Breaking Barriers”

Book Review – The Prodigal Prophet

In The Prodigal Prophet, Timothy Keller brings the story of Jonah forward and points out a number of insights that really are remarkable. The breakdown of the book of Jonah given in the introduction, alongside a concise parallel of the book of Jonah with the story of the prodigal son, left me wondering how in theContinue reading “Book Review – The Prodigal Prophet”
