God’s in Pursuit — and You’re the Prize!
Sometimes I laugh when I think about how God pursues us. He’s like the world’s most loving detective — no detail too small, no distance too far, no hiding place too clever. We can keep playing hide n’ go seek, but eventually we’ll look over our shoulder and realize — He’s right there all along,…
Learning to Lead AND Follow
It all started one Wednesday night at our church’s weekly family dinner. We overheard two couples chatting about their next dance class. We leaned in closer to hear more! Turns out, several couples from our church gather for a meal and then dive into dance classes. Take that a “dance-step” further – we jumped into…

We Will Change the World
What a Motley Crew the disciples were. There’s Peter — one minute he was walking on water by faith, and the next, he was sinking in doubts.
