3 ways to refresh your Bible reading

We all get stuck in our Bible reading sometimes. Here are 3 ways to refresh your reading in a way that will encourage you to keep going.

Should we reject weaponized words?

Because words have power, they can be weaponized to do harm and instill fear. Rather than reject or relinquish it, how can we restore a good word that’s been weaponized?

Longing for the first chapter of the real story

Stories give voice to what we long for most deeply. The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis is one that brings a deep desire to life: the new creation and the first chapter of the real story of our lives.

Brief reflections on life, work, and ministry

Because today (August 21st) is my birthday, I want to share with you a few reflections on what I’m learning (and trying to live) about life, work, and ministry as I embrace my middle-aged-ness

When you’re working at the third conference of the month (and have one more to go), you make some interesting new friends. I don’t often talk about work or work-related project on my socials these days, but I seriously love this edition of the Psalms. Spurgeon and the Psalms features all 150 psalms in the NKJV translation accompanied by a devotional l-sized excerpt from Spurgeon’s Treasury of David. I spend a lot of my Bible reading time in the Psalms (probably more than anywhere else), so for me a resource like this is a real gift. (I work for the publisher, which explains my preface.) Important life lesson. I won’t get into golf, but I’ll still enjoy the time with the boy. For some reason, I did not realize you could make custom Funko Pops (apparently I haven’t been paying attention). How did I not know this?? Another trip round the sun completed. It’s been a big year, with lots of learning and personal growth (but thankfully no waistline growth for me!). Grateful to take a day off, get the best card I could have asked for (my kids’ sense of humor is on point), the best silly nerd present, and the chance to make a delightful dessert to close out the day. Life milestone: for Emily’s and my entire relationship, I have been our sole driver. For many reasons, Emily didn’t pursue learning to drive in her teens and that more or less stayed true up until about a year ago, when she finally chose to get her learners permit. Really enjoyed my time on Dawn & Steve in the Morning on @moodyradio today! Thankful for the opportunity to talk about coming to faith as an adult and how I hope my book helps people like me navigate the joyful mess of being a Christian, and helps churches to walk alongside them. Excited for @glennadmarshall’s new book, Memorizing Scripture, to get into people’s hands! #memorizingscripture #bookstagram Seven years ago, these two crazy mid-30s kids and their three little kids arrived in the land of Tennessee, ready to begin our great adventure as Canadians living in Americaland. We’ve been through a lot over the years—some good, some great, some less than good—but we don’t regret it. America needs some work, but it’s been a good place for us. Now we’re in our early and mid 40s, with 3 not so little kids, and we are glad to call this place home. It’s been a day, but we made it through. Nothing especially fancy going on and nothing difficult; just a day of recovering from extra social activities and trying to catch up on neglected housework. All the stuff of middle-aged family life.
