You Know What God Left Out of the Bible? | The Mid-Week Memo | May 14, 2025
Your opinion! A friend shared this with me recently. I had to share it with you. Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.” • Why it fits: This shows that God wants us to trust His wisdom over our own opinions. Isaiah 55:8-9 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the…

Delayed Gratification | The Mid-Week Memo | May 7, 2025
A year after making Dallas Buyers Club, Matthew McConaughey won the Oscar for Best Actor. The next day his kids asked him, “Papai, what did you get that trophy for?” As a father who wants his children to appreciate the value of delayed gratification, I recognized this as a cool opportunity to teach them, McConaughey writes. I said, “Remember a year ago when we were in New Orleans and I was already at work before you woke up in the morning and every night…

Experiencing Jesus | Finding Refuge in a Chaotic World
In our fast-paced, technology-driven world, it's easy to feel disconnected from our spiritual selves and from God. As John Eldredge reminds us, “we've become disciples of the internet”, conditioned to expect instant gratification and immediate answers. This constant connectivity has inadvertently trained our souls for impatience, making it challenging to cultivate a deep, meaningful relationship with the Divine. But what if there was a way to reclaim…

Wired for Wonder: The Brain God Designed | The Mid-Week Memo | April 30, 2025
Scientists unveiled something stunning—a colorized 3D reconstruction of the largest mammalian brain map ever created. Using just a cubic millimeter of neural tissue (roughly the size of a grain of sand) from a mouse’s brain, researchers identified over 200,000 neurons, 523 million neural connections, and produced 22 years’ worth of HD video data from that tiny fragment alone. Let that sink in. To collect the data, the researchers showed short video clips ,…

When God Says, “Slow Down” — Learning to Trust His Timing | The Mid-Week Memo | April 23, 2025
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…

It’s Great to Have a Best Friend that Owns Everything | The Mid-Week Memo | April 9, 2025
Steve has had issues with his back for the last ten years, which at times are debilitating. As a result, he needs solid lumbar support in any chair he sits in for more than a few minutes. Being in full-time ministry, there is not much money left for extras. We purchased a good office chair for Steve, and in the evenings, when we spend time together, he rolls that chair into the living room, as our other furniture does not provide enough support. However, that solution was…
