Create Value Anywhere

A few years ago, God shifted my direction in work and ministry. I had begun to limit my thinking to specific jobs and life trajectories. As our family left California in the middle of 2020, I looked at possibilities for earning income to provide for my family. Coming from ministry

Saving Bastille's Pompeii

The song was catchy, and that was all. Then I watched the music video, and it seemed weird, but somehow meaningful. I did some research and all interpretations were intriguing. I couldn't get the song and video out of my head. In their popular song, “Pompeii,” the English

Did You Catch One?

Did You Catch One?

Children often ask for more. I may have more discipline now when it comes to asking for cookies or patience in fishing, but I’m still guilty of a childish desire for the next thrill.

Resting In God's Amazing Grace: Summary of My Summer from the Side of a Volcano

Resting In God's Amazing Grace: Summary of My Summer from the Side of a Volcano

For my last full day in Central America, I decided to hike Volcán Atitlán, the highest of three enormous volcanoes rising high above Lake Atitlán in Guatemala. Peaking at 11,600 feet in elevation, Atitlán towers 6,500’ up from the water with a steep grade for hiking Being a

The Family of God: Who's In?

The Family of God: Who's In?

Adoption into the family of God is a beautiful thing, but how do we know who our relatives are? In my last blog post I wrote about finding Christian brothers and sisters during my time in Costa Rica. These heart-encouraging friends came as a refreshing contrast to those who didn’

The Family of God

The Family of God

The body of Christ, as we call the community of those who believe in Jesus Christ, is more than a social group. A body is an intimately united and complex whole made of symbiotic parts. We need each other in the body of Christ; we by necessity have mutual dependence.

The End of Beauty

The End of Beauty

I wear on my right hand a ring that says “Bonvm Veritas Pvlcher,” Latin for “Goodness, Truth, Beauty.” The three words are sometimes called the transcendentals or the highest forms/ideas, or could even be considered final causes in teleology, studying the end goal or purpose of things. That’s

A Prayer

Lord God, my Father, Thank you for your love. You are good and righteous, just and compassionate, holy and perfect. You are worthy of all the praise the world can bring you, even if we often ignore you or rebel against you. Thank you for being patient with us and

Loving God Like I Don't Love Surfing

Sitting on my board in the warm, clear Pacific waters off the coast of Costa Rica, I couldn’t help but smile at the privilege of being where I am. I love the beach (here, “la playa”), and I love getting out in the water fighting against some waves. It’

Dark Night of the Soul

Growing Pains

God who is everywhere, never leaves us. Yet He seems sometimes to be present, sometimes absent. If we do not know Him well, we do not realize that He may be more present to us when He is absent than when He is present. - Thomas Merton, No Man is

Summer Sabbatical

Summer Sabbatical

Today I leave for a new adventure… in Central America. This summer holds a different kind of adventure for me. Rather than sightseeing, thrill-seeking or mission tripping, I am traveling with the purpose of studying God’s Word and prayer. My summer will be a practice in being, not doing.

The Gospel: Good News or Deceptive Superstition? Am I Crazy to Believe in Jesus of the Bible?

The Gospel: Good News or Deceptive Superstition? Am I Crazy to Believe in Jesus of the Bible?

“Coming though, Jesus Boy!” the bartender announced as he slid by me during a busy shift. We’ve had a few conversations about religion before, and apparently my commitment to follow Jesus has earned me a new title. I’m proud to be identified by Jesus—I long for him

Death is a Reality

Death is a Reality

This morning I went to my grandma’s funeral. I don’t go to many funerals these days, and it’s been awhile since I've been to one at all. I’m at a stage in life when I don’t often think of death. People my age

Settling In

I moved into my new apartment in Dallas a month ago, and now I’ve been making this my home. My boxes have been gradually unpacked. My roommate and I assembled an Ikea desk together. I bought a bookshelf and wired up my stereo. It feels like my life is

When I Am Weakest

When I Am Weakest

I often experience the most grace in my life at my lowest points. I feel that in our hardest times we can experience more of God’s grace. It’s still tough, but it’s better by far than being comfortable while remaining distanced from God.

Three Tips To Maintain Sanity While Being Globally Minded

Three Tips To Maintain Sanity While Being Globally Minded

This week I sent a letter to India, got an email update from China, read a blog post from a friend in Vancouver, got a call from my best friend in California, caught up with my cousin in Minnesota, heard from family back in Texas, missed out on my family&

Beginning Anew Again

Beginning Anew Again

New beginnings are never easy. They are full of unknowns, fears, learning, vulnerability, and a certain excitement in it all. I am in this process right now. Along with beginning my masters (Th.M) studies at Dallas Theological Seminary, this week I began a new job, moved to a new
