Meet Me at the Barn
In his book Undistracted, Bob Goff shares a story about a time his racehorse got away from him, and rather than try and chase the horse, he simply returned to the barn to wait for it. He makes a wonderful analogy about how sometimes we must stop chasing the horse and return to the barn. In his story, he relates chasing […]
149: Believe in the Possibilities
Plans in life often shift. When they do, we can either be disappointed and give up or look expectantly for God’s promise to bring good into every situation. In this episode, I talk about two examples of things that went wrong this week, but when all was said and done, both turned out better than […]
A Time For Boldness
There are moments we will never forget where we were when we heard the news of significant events in our lifetime. I was at the office when the planes flew into the towers on 9/11. I was in a hotel room in Denver when South Dakota’s Governor’s plane flew into a silo, killing all on […]

131: A Different View of the Season of Advent
Believers love Christmas because it helps us focus on Christ and the incredible gift He is to us.

The Waiting is the Hardest Part
Whether it is a national election, results from a medical test, or any other of a million things we wait for in life, it is so hard to wait. We can think of nothing else. Particularly if it is news that will make a major impact on our life; good or bad. Today we wait […]
Living a Grace-Full Life
When you hear the word graceful, what comes to mind? Generally, we think of things that are elegant and beautiful. Maybe you think of a ballerina, a star athlete making a beautiful catch, or even a bird in flight. If I’m being honest, no one has ever accused me of being graceful. When I took […]
