I am not afraid…I was born to do this

When God Catches What You’ve Been Hiding In today’s language, the phrase “You are the man” serves as a compliment. It is often said during a tailgate party when a friend makes a crucial shot, successfully closes a deal, or finally finds the courage to accomplish something challenging. These four syllables express affirmation and support. You nailed it! There’s another version of that phrase.…

It’s not your anger that reveals your purpose. It’s your grief. Somebody told you that your anger reveals your purpose. And honestly? It hit. It made sense. You felt it in your chest — that fire when you see something wrong, something broken, something that just shouldn’t be. Someone handed you a framework, and it felt like a key turning in a lock. So maybe you ran with it. Maybe you’ve been…

Motherhood, Faith, and the Divine Order  A mother’s love is the closest thing to God’s love most of us will ever feel — before we know God. Think about that for a moment. Before you had language for grace, before you understood covenant, before you ever read a word of Scripture, you experienced something that looked a whole lot like unconditional love. It had a name. It was called Mom.  There…

It shows up when it wants to — and most men have been trained to push it down and keep moving. In this episode, Tim sits down with Fernando Dasilva to talk honestly about loss, faith, and what it actually…

The Edge You’ve seen the scene. The hero dangles from the edge of a cliff — white-knuckled, arms burning, gravity winning. Every second matters. One slip and it’s over. That image is a perfect picture of what Solomon is warning us about in Proverbs 3. He doesn’t say find your grip. He says don’t lose it — which means you already have it. The question is whether you’ll hold on. The Wisest Man…

That sign is everywhere.You’ve seen it on the wooden pallet hanging in someone’s living room. It’s on t-shirts, coffee mugs, bumper stickers. Maybe it’s on your wall right now.“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”Joshua 24:15.It’s one of the most quoted verses in Christian homes across America. And I think most of us have read right past what Joshua was actually doing when he said…

And today we’re going…

Creation was the original design. The Fall broke it. Redemption paid for it. But Restoration is the finish line — the moment God makes everything new, not just fixed. And the wild part? We’re…

Someone calls out something in our life that needs to change, and we respond with, “Yeah, I know.” And then nothing changes. In this episode, we get honest about why knowing isn’t enough — and what it…

Four letters. One syllable. And yet it undoes us. We say it all the time. At the end of phone calls. In texts sent quickly between meetings. To characters in films who cannot hear us. Love you. Love ya. Love. It costs nothing. It takes less than a second. It disappears into the air the moment it leaves our mouths. And yet — to do it is challenging. Doing it truly and consistently is one of the…

You Won’t Believe What I Paid Share with someone that you made a big purchase. The first question is almost always the same: “Did you get a good deal?” We love a bargain. Some people have a gift for finding them. I am not one of those people. But I did learn something important about paying a price. And it started with $21.23. The $21.23 Lesson I was fourteen years old, standing at a register…

You know that feeling when you’re running on empty? You check all the boxes by showing up at work. You are there for your family and serve at church. You do all the things you’re supposed to do. Yet, something’s missing? You’re exhausted. Resentful even. Going through the motions. What if I told you the problem isn’t that you’re not doing enough? What if the problem is that you’re doing it all…

Yesterday, my good friend Scott had one of those moments that could have changed everything. He was driving his Ford F-250, towing a trailer, when his passenger-side front tire just… came off. Not a blowout. Not a slow leak. The entire wheel separated from the vehicle. If you’ve ever towed anything, you know how quickly this situation could spiral. Add a curve to the equation, and you’re…

A Personal Reflection Years ago, I stood before our congregation to preach from Luke 10:29. I was confident I understood the parable of the Good Samaritan. I had prepared to speak about compassion, about being the neighbor who stops to help. I was ready to challenge others to be like the Samaritan who showed mercy. But God had different plans. As I wrestled with this passage in prayer, God…
