During Easter week, a major network morning show ran a faith segment featuring representatives from three different religions. The conversation that followed was revealing…and disheartening. 

We often think the most successful people are the ones who make it to the pinnacle of their particular field or industry. Yet in later years, many of these super wealthy, powerful, often lonely people would trade it all for peace, love, and joy. 

One of the most insightful books about modern technology was written almost 120 years before any of our current technology existed.

If you’re in need of soul care and replenishment, you’re going to savor this offering. In this chaotic world, we often lose sight of how to rest, reset, and restore.

Popularity and influence aren't the same thing. It’s crucial not to confuse them.

When you think of Jesus, what’s the first image that comes to mind? Is he a thirty-year old man in a robe and sandals…or the eternal creator of everything?

How do you interpret the rejection of your creative efforts?

We’re days away from the end of this year’s first quarter. Which is why now is a particularly good moment to pause and reflect on your hopes and dreams for 2026. 

Superman was my favorite boyhood superhero. He was pretty much invincible…except for one weakness. 

When we play it by ear, we’re winging it. We don’t go in with a plan but make it up as we go. It’s reactive. There’s a better way to play it.  

In a world that constantly changes its mind on everything, believers only have to change theirs once.

Do you primarily see your life through a lens of scarcity or abundance? Whether you focus on lack or provision, it will feel true. 

A friend recently reminded me of this story from author Peggy Noonan’s blog in The Wall Street Journal:

“At a recent 100th birthday party, a man shared wisdom with friends. He said there are two words we don’t honor enough…”

If you had an hour to solve a problem that your life depended on, how would you spend that time? 

I regularly speak to large and small gatherings about God, story, and creativity. And a common theme is how overwhelmed, worn out, and disheartened the majority of these creative believers are.

Did you know your creativity can vary by day of the week?

It took an unexpected conversation with an appliance repairman for me to come across this idea. He was fixing my washer and dryer and has seen it all in his forty plus years in the business. So I asked why some appliances and cars seemed to last forever, while others of the same make and model, constantly have issues. 

It’s easy to be hard on yourself when you miss the mark. But I’ve discovered a more helpful way to interpret these experiences.

One of the best Superman stories of all time was written as if it were the “last” Superman story of all time.

Very few people in life have mastered their area of gifting at the level of basketball superstar Michael Jordan. So when he shares the secret to his success, it’s worth paying attention.

People often talk about God as if he’s way up there, somewhere in the clouds, and we’re way down here, left to our own means. 

But God is not a distant Father. Nor a distant Creator. He doesn’t just show up in cathedrals or on Sunday morning. He is always present. And closer than our skin.
