When Beauty Gets Stuck | The Mid-Week Memo | August 27, 2025
Colleen loves her butterflies—swallowtails and monarchs. She nurtures them from the moment their tiny eggs hatch, through their caterpillar days, into the miraculous chrysalis stage, and finally releases them as fully formed beauties into the open air. I’ve watched the bond she forms with them. One swallowtail even returned after being set free, landing gently on her shoulder as if to say, “Thank you for caring for me.” But last week, something…

Pulled from the Tracks | The Mid-Week Memo | August 20, 2025
When your past doesn't define your place in the family of God In 1863, Edwin Booth—yes, the brother of John Wilkes Booth—stood on a crowded train platform in Jersey City. The crowd accidentally shoved a young man near him and fell between the platform and the moving train. Without hesitation, Edwin reached down and pulled him to safety. That man he saved? Robert Todd Lincoln—son of President Abraham Lincoln. Two lives intersected in a moment that…

The Impossible Odds: Jesus & the Mathematics of Prophecy | Pastor Joe Focht
What are the chances that one person—at any point in history—could fulfill even a handful of the Old Testament prophecies about the coming Messiah? Pastor Joe Focht of Calvary Chapel Philadelphia breaks it down with startling math. From His birth in Bethlehem to His betrayal for 30 pieces of silver, from the piercing of His hands and feet to His burial in a rich man’s tomb, the probability of one man fulfilling just 17 of these very specific prophecies is 4…

Surrounded by Fire, Filled with Glory | The Mid-Week Memo | August 13, 2025
“And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,” declares the Lord,“and I will be its glory within.” — Zechariah 2:5 Imagine your home surrounded not by a fence, a deadbolt, or a security system—but by God Himself. A wall of fire. Not a destructive flame, but a holy, purifying, impenetrable presence that guards what is sacred and welcomes His glory within. That’s exactly what God promised to His people in Zechariah 2:5. In this,…

When the Villain Preaches the Gospel | The Mid-Week Memo | August 6, 2025
I can still picture that cardboard sword in my hand. Eight years old, backyard battlefield, drawbridge made from cutout flaps—ready to conquer the world with a shield I made from a refrigerator box. Back then, the story was simple. Good guys win. Evil loses. Life felt manageable. Safe. Predictable. But dragons grow up. And the lines between good and evil? They blur. Eventually, I found myself in a place where the story I thought I was living had unraveled—and I wasn&rsquo…

When Credit Isn’t the Goal | The Mid-Week Memo | July 30, 2025
Years ago, I watched a remarkable moment unfold at a ministry conference.The event had drawn thousands, and one young man gave a powerful testimony about how he’d come to Christ. He described the moment with emotion and detail, but never once mentioned the name of the person who led him to Jesus. Later, during a break, I overheard someone ask him, “Who was it that prayed with you?”He smiled and said, “Honestly, I don’t remember his name. He…
