I recently returned from a family beach trip. One of those trips filled with sunshine, sandy snacks, fruity drinks, and that deep kind of joy you only get by watching your kids and grandkids play in the waves. But the thing that stuck with me the most wasn’t the ocean or the food. It was...

There’s just something about fire that draws men in. You’ve probably noticed it. Gather a group of men around a fire pit and watch what happens. The conversation shifts. Phones go dark. Stories start rolling. There’s laughter, honesty…even some depth. And for a minute...

“Get here. She’s not doing well.” Those are words no one ever wants to hear...especially when they’re about your spouse. The next thirty-six hours were a blur . . . ER visits, hospital rooms, and a thousand unanswered questions. Doctors finally diagnosed a clot that was...

“Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness, he judges and makes war.” -Revelation 19:11   “How was the trip? What was Cambodia like?” As those questions lingered in the air, I was...
