The Noise Is Loud

There’s this feeling a lot of people carry right now… like following Jesus has become harder than ever. Not because church buildings disappeared.Not because Bibles vanished.Not because faith no longer exists. But because the noise is everywhere. Messages.Opinions.Hot takes.Arguments.Reels.Platforms.Voices. Everybody preaching something. And from every direction it feels like there’s another invitation to drift. Another […]

What Are You Waiting For?

(From Luke 16:1-13) We’re competitive about the dumbest things. Someone cuts you off in the Chick-fil-A drive-thru…so you reroute, hit mobile order, and beat them anyway. Win. But let’s be honest—we’ll fight to win moments that don’t matter…and hesitate in the ones that do. Life is full of moments like that.Unexpected. Ordinary. Easy to overlook. […]

Everything in you locks […]

This Little Light of Mine… but Should it Stay Little?

Have you ever had a moment where the lights in a room were dim…and you mistook something for something else? I think we all have. Have you ever walked across a dark room thinking you could make it—only to trip over something you didn’t even know was there? I have. In fact, I once cut […]
