    Godly Prayers for an Ungodly Leader

    January 20, 2017January 20, 2017

    Today we will inaugurate a new president. Today, the people of the United States of America, will turn the keys of the White House over the Donald Trump. This Inauguration Day is a complicated one. On the one hand, I truly celebrate and rejoice the tradition of peaceful transfers of power among our elected officials.

    For Paris, and for All of Us | A Prayer

    November 15, 2015May 18, 2016

      Oh God, our God. How do we begin? Before we even part our lips, we draw back. We want to gather ourselves up, tuck our knees to our chins, and hope that it’s all a bad dream. Dread is all around us. And not just today, and not just on Friday. But always and

    • This study has made me think a lot lately about the weight that final words have. I think back on my final conversations with my grandmother before she passed or my high school friend before she was in a terrible accident ... and their words grip me. I hold them in my heart with savor and sacredness. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the book of John we get to hear the last words Christ spoke before He went to the cross. We get to sit in the weight of His final teachings and savor His promises about the Kingdom to come. It’s not an easy study, but it is worth it. Totally and always worth it. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TOMORROW we start our journey towards the cross and the empty tomb. TOMORROW we dive into John’s Passion Week account and his record of Christ’s teachings on the Kingdom of God. If you’ve wanted to do a study for Lent but haven’t picked one up yet it’s not too late! Hard copies shIp same day and digital subscriptions get immediate access. Link in profile. ❤️
    • I’m mostly in the hummus game for the feta 😘
    • Today’s the last day of the Woven study, and I’m only a little bit sad. Im sad because it’s over and it has been SO MUCH FUN. But only a little but because for the past four weeks I’ve gotten to watch y’all writing your Greek and Hebrew out, doing word studies, and day-by-day weaving the big story of redemption together. Nothing makes my Bible-teacher heart more full. 🥰 A huge huge hug and high five to all of you who have stuck with it, mined the Scriptures for truth and hope, and have leaned into meaning from God’s Word. I’M SO PROUD OF YOU! (is that weird?) On Monday we start The Way of the Kingdom, and I’m so glad because it makes the end of the Woven study easier to digest! ☺️
    • It’s the last week of the Woven study, and it’s maybe been my favorite study ever. It’s been such a joy to watch so many of you write out your Greek and Hebrew each day (👏👏👏) and to hear what you’re leaning about the meta-narrative of Scripture. We still have four days left, so I promise not to get sad about it ending yet, but tell me: what has been the biggest surprise of the study so far? Which word study has been your favorite? Is there something you learned that made you say, “yes! That’s it!”?? Tell me in the comments! 👇
    • Happy sabbath, friends. 🧡
    • There’s a reason my Genesis looks like this — because it’s all in there. The setting of the scene, a look at the main character, the crisis, and the foreshadowing of the coming hero. We can’t read Genesis enough. I was recently talking with a friend and we have both been in churches that veered on select doctrinal issues, and we can both trace their roots to going off-road in Genesis. If we get the setting wrong, we’re bound to wind up telling a different story and getting something else wrong down the line. Who we are made to be, the nature of the Creator, our fallen nature, and our need for a savior are found in the first three chapters of this beautiful book. Let’s set our minds to them. Let’s be intentional not to miss them or get them wrong. Because it’s all in there — thanks be to God!
