The other day while mowing my lawn, I had a revelation.  Some of my best thoughts nowadays come during that hour or so I spend out in my yard.  The only downside is, I’m at a loss…

We started last week with a topic that I will admit is not the most popular.  It’s not popular to talk about things like repentance and correction.  It’s not popular to mention to Christians the areas we’ve missed the mark…

Going further into our Parenthood series, I believe we need to pivot and look at the home with another perspective.  Last week was mission-focused.  We live our lives on purpose for Christ, always pointing little eyes and ears up to…

Finishing out the 2020 Vision series this week and I want to land on an area that is certainly a part of our everyday lives:  the workplace and the marketplace and the mission fields we are called to therein.  I’ve…

I’ve spent most of my entire life in the Upper Midwest and considered states like North…

If I could teach a class on how to become spiritually wise, the textbook would simply be the Book of Proverbs.  The nuggets of truth found within are so relevant to our modern-day society.  I wish I could comment and…

Well we are seeing it in the media everyday, aren’t we?  This idea of #fakenews…primarily stemming from a certain President and a certain cable news network.  “Fake news” has become one of the buzzword phrases of 2017 and for good…

My hometown of Duluth, Minnesota is beautiful.  Yeah I might be a bit biased, but I think it has some qualities that make it a lovely place.  Seated on the shores of Lake Superior, it’s not your typical Midwest-looking town…
