What surfaced when the noise stopped?
Monday, January 26, 2026
If you’re finishing this social media fast, the most important question isn’t “Did I make it 21 days?” It’s “What surfaced when the noise stopped?” For many of us, stepping away didn’t just remove scrolling — it revealed things that were already there. Emotions we’d been numbing. Thoughts we’d been ignoring. Longings we hadn’t even realized. Social media didn’t create those things; it helped us avoid them. So let me ask a few honest questions — not for guilt, but for clarity...| CONTINUE READING |

Thank You for Praying for Our Family
Monday, March 16, 2026
I wanted to personally say thank you for praying for our family during this incredibly difficult season. Over the past couple of months, we’ve been walking through one of the most painful and unexpected chapters of our lives. In the middle of all of it, the encouragement, prayers, and kindness from people like you have meant more than I can really express. When something this personal comes into the light, it can feel very lonely. Right now, our family is taking the time we need to...| CONTINUE READING |

LIVING SCRIPTURES is an ongoing series that explores how the Holy Spirit inspired the Scriptures within their original historical, cultural, and literary contexts and then invites Him to illuminate and apply these truths today.
BLOG SERIES
We have several series of subjects we've discussed in our blog. These series include:
LESSONS FROM THE GARDEN In this series, Lacey reflects on everyday experiences in the garden — exploring how planting, pruning, cultivating, and simply paying attention can reveal meaningful lessons about our relationships with God, ourselves, and others.
RECOVERY In this series, Nathan reflects on his own recovery journey while comparing recovery and Christian cultures — exploring both to better understand and apply grace toward ourselves and others.
REFLECTIONS In this series, Nathan reflects on personal experiences, observations, and questions — exploring how the ordinary and unexpected moments of life can help us better understand our relationships with God, ourselves, and others.
You Become Like Who You’re Around March 3, 2025 When I was first learning to teach, I mimicked the preachers and teachers I admired most — right down to their clothes, glasses, cadence, and gestures. If they paced the stage a certain way, so did I. If they used dramatic pauses and contemplative questions, I threw them in too. I thought I was being ...
The Art of a Spirit-Led Apology February 24, 2025 When I was first married, I hated apologizing for something that seemingly wasn’t my fault. For instance, when my wife and I would walk past each other, and her foot happened to fall under mine, she would look at me, indignant that I wouldn’t apologize for stepping on her foot. I would gaze back at ...
Confession: Not Just Something To Do After We Sin February 17, 2025 I recently had to move a piano. I knew doing it myself would end up in my death… or at minimum, a very high emergency room bill that would inevitably lead to hernia surgery. So I called my friends. I have learned to deal with temptation the same way — struggling alone makes victory unnecessarily ...
God’s Love Puts Us First February 10, 2025 Several years ago, one of my daughters had asked for a glass of coke before bed. I explained that there is no such thing as bedtime coke. She stared at me with big, confused eyes, completely unaware that my denying her something so sweet was for her good. In a way, we’re a lot like ...
God Untangles Life’s Knots (Even the Ones We Create) February 3, 2025 One of my biggest pet peeves used to be untangling my earbuds after discovering them carelessly tossed into my computer bag. As much as I wanted to blame my wife or daughters for the mess, the truth was, it was my own fault. I simply didn’t take the time to roll them up neatly and ...
The Power of Giving Thanks January 27, 2025 In the face of difficult people and circumstances, giving thanks to God can feel like the last thing we want to do. Yet, it’s in those moments of difficulty that gratitude holds the greatest power. Choosing to thank God —even despite circumstances — doesn’t ignore the pain; it redirects our focus back to His unchanging ...
Colorblind and Unresolved Issues — How Are You Harming Those Around You January 20, 2025 As someone who’s colorblind, I’ve learned that not seeing certain colors can be dangerous. Like when I can’t tell the difference between red and yellow flashing lights at night — so I don’t know if I should stop or if we can nonchalantly drive through an intersection. Our unresolved issues are similar to being colorblind. ...
Struggling To Cultivate A Heart After God? January 13, 2025 Have you ever admired someone’s heart for God and thought, “I wish I could have that kind of faith”? Here’s the good news: you can! David wasn’t perfect, but his humility, devotion, and reliance on the Holy Spirit made him a man after God’s heart. This is a lifestyle we’re all invited to embrace. Here are ...
What’s your word for the year? January 6, 2025 As we enter a brand-new year, I want to encourage you to take some time to pray and ask God for a “word” for the year ahead. I usually ask God to give me something to focus my prayers and vision for the year. This year, the word was “HOPE”. This word has a lot ...
