Making Things Happen | The Mid-Week Memo | March 13, 2024
In the Jesus Calling Daily that arrives in my inbox each morning here’s what it said today. “Waiting patiently does not come easily to you, but it is nonetheless very good for you. You long to plan ahead, make definitive decisions, and make things happen. There is a time for that, but this is not the time. Now is a time for sitting in My Presence, trusting Me with your whole being.” (From Jesus Listens by Sarah Young) Was that God speaking? I’m sure…

110. Where Is God In This Mess?
Did you ever feel abandoned by God? You're not alone. He never promised us a rose garden, but he did say he was our ever-present help. It often doesn't always feel that way. It's the messiness of life that confuses us when we don't see God in it. Thing is - He's in everything. In this podcast, our team discusses the challenges and opportunities to invite Him in to the mess. Click Here and Listen to the Podcast

Room to Grow | The Daily Memo | March 8, 2024
I hate to move. I know, hate is a strong word. But I’ve moved my total household at least 6 times that I can remember. I have no fond memories to draw from. It was total chaos in the house for weeks before and after. Stuff was strewn everywhere while trying to purge. By purge I mean, sell, toss, giveaway, or keep all the paraphernalia that had accumulated over the years. I have a headache just thinking about it, even now. Colleen and I decided we’re not moving…

Facing Our Demons | The Daily Memo | March 7, 2024
Sometimes good counselors or other wise guides help us discover subconscious motivators that drive how we act. For example, experiences of abuse can often lock us in shame or fear and drive us into destructive patterns of thought and behavior. It’s almost like the traumatic event invited an evil spirit into our interior world, one that continues to control us with things like fear, rage, self-loathing, or shame. These internal realities remain powerful until we face,…

The Question of Inerrancy | The Daily Memo | March 6, 2024
Have you ever wondered about the supposed inconsistencies critics point out in the Bible? Such things might leave you questioning how to tell what’s truly God’s Word and what isn’t. The answer is simple: God is the final authority. The Sovereign of the universe had no trouble keeping His Word pure. As 2 Timothy 3:16 says, “All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial.” Reading the Bible as a whole document reveals that each part is…

The Bible: God’s Love Letter to Mankind | The Daily Memo | March 5, 2024
How amazing to consider that the Bible was compiled by 40 men writing in 3 languages on 3 continents over 1,500 years! Gather a group of people from just one generation, and you will have neither the consistency nor the unified philosophy and mission found in God’s Word. Each book of the Bible reflects its human author’s personality and background. For example, Moses was the political leader of the Israelites in the desert; Daniel rose to the rank of prime…

Understanding the Feminine Heart | The Daily Memo | March 4, 2024
There are three desires that I have found essential to a woman’s heart, which are not entirely different from a man’s and yet they remain distinctly feminine. Not every woman wants a battle to fight, but every woman yearns to be fought for. Listen to the longing of a woman’s heart: She wants to be more than noticed — she wants to be wanted. She wants to be pursued. Every woman also wants an adventure to share. “I want to be Isabo in Ladyhawk,;…

Love in Action | The Daily Memo | March 1, 2024
His ability to live with all these qualities we’ve seen, in such a way that no one quality dominates—as is so often the case in our personalities—eclipsing the richness of the others. To live in such a way that there is always something of an element of surprise, and yet, however he acts turns out to be exactly what was needed in the moment. Oh, his brilliance shines through, but never blinding, never overbearing. He is not glistening white marble. He is…

Join the Jesus Adventure | The Daily Memo | February 29, 2024
Jesus didn’t always explain everything in great detail. If someone I trust tells me something, and I know it’s for my benefit, I just trust it. I’m fine with the possibility someone might be wrong, particularly when I weigh they might be right and my life would be better if I did what they suggest. Remember, though, I’m a lawyer. I deal with sneaky people for a living, so I’m no pushover. I’ve learned to sharpen my intuition about why…
