Damage control is a real part of life. When does it help our own sanity and community to call somebody out, and how do we do it well?
Some plans just don't.make.sense. How do we navigate when our expectations and reality don't line up?
You don't stand a chance! When we're painted into a corner, sometimes it takes a little creativity to survive.
When you wish you could mute the world...Some things are just depressing. We have our ways of numbing out to get through, but are they the best for us? Today, we find an alternative that will make a real difference!
Changing the world one conversation at a time. The call to make a difference is a big one. But it doesn't have to be a scary one.
When #Trending goes wrong. Making a positive difference in the world, while following the latest thought, rarely seem to work together. What can help us navigate?
What could possibly go wrong? Ever ask that question? Sometimes God uses the oddest things to accomplish His mission. He may even use the oddest parts in you.
Some seasons are rough, like you are forced to suck on a lemon each day. How do we make those times count for something, so our struggles aren't in vain? Today's letter gives us a clue…
For those days when you just want to pack it in… - Some days feel like there's no hope. You are out of options. You've exhausted all possibilities. There is no way God could be at work. Unless…
You: "You don't own me!" World: "Really?" Some days, we get bashed for holding something close. A sentiment, a value, a belief. What do we hold onto when it's our faith that is getting stepped on? Jesus has a answer for his disciples that works today as well, giving us hope when the world makes us feel like outsiders.
Struggles can be awful. But You.Are.Not.Alone. Sometimes we feel like we're the only one going through...whatever we are going through. The hope we can glean from four letters can help us to see otherwise.
Where's hope when our day's playlist sounds like the Moonlight Sonata? Some days it feels like the world is collapsing around us. What do we hold onto when it feels like we're grasping at a rope that isn't attached to anything? Paul gives us plenty, out of his own experience.
Power comes from unexpected places. In our world today, power and humility seem to be mutually exclusive. But it is one character trait that Jesus displays which we can emulate, and it is the reason He (and we) can have power in our lives that does not fail because of circumstances
Where do we go 😫😫 when we're painted into a corner? 🤔🤔 Jacob was surrounded by people who wanted to hurt him. He was left with no choice but to wrestle one-on-one with God. The result...was not something we might expect!
Is there REALLY something positive that can speak into hate and anger and division? Dare I say, YES!
Heaven sounds great! But wait, there's more?
You're going to make my wish come true? Why should I believe you? Is God afraid of our questions?
Why should I give thanks when my world's falling apart? And what does popcorn have to do with it? 🍿 🍿
We all have experienced those people in our lives who just suck the life out of us. The soul vampires, if you will. Is there a way to get through a workday or a family get-together without letting them get the best of us? There just might be – and the Bible has a few good ideas.
What fear keeps us from fulfilling our mission? The answer starts by looking in the mirror.
Sometimes we need to set the table for a feast. Sometimes we need to flip it over for a remodel.
I'm going to scream! If only peace could be installed in our homes like a new light bulb…
When our conversations become a tug of war, that's when we learn how to get nowhere fast.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. So how do we engage with someone when that first impression is...less than stellar?
Some conversations take frustrating to a new level. 😝😝 Where does love (and sanity) fit in? The question of the day...
