The fear of what might happen can keep us managing, hiding, and pretending long after we know something needs to change.
Blame has a way of protecting us from an uncomfortable truth: the other person may not be the only one with something to own.
Sometimes what we call “complicated” is really fear in disguise. And until we name it honestly, we'll never find the courage to move forward.
Your greatest victory may not be in getting the outcome you want, but discovering a different kind of win.
Everyone wants people who will show up when life begins to unravel. Far fewer of us are willing to be the kind of friend who steps in before it does.
We all have ugliness in our lives. And we're all tempted to hide it. But hiding it is what could be keeping us from far more than we realize.
Bringing our unfiltered pain to God doesn't shock or offend Him—He actually invites it. He wants our honesty in the darkness because He can handle every bit of it.
In Psalm 8, David reflects on the fact that the incredibly powerful God who created the universe is the same God who thinks about cares for individual people. He’s big enough to handle our honesty, and personal enough to want it.
The founders believed liberty was worth risking everything for, but they also understood it came with a hidden requirement. Two hundred fifty years later, that requirement matters more than ever.
Many Christians spend their lives measuring themselves by whether or not they are obeying all the rules. That’s not what Jesus intended.
Somewhere along the way, many of us began treating God's love and approval as something to earn. That assumption quietly shapes our relationship with God more than we realize.
We often think freedom comes from having fewer obligations, but some of the most meaningful moments in life begin when we embrace a weight we never asked to carry.
Long before the storm arrived, Noah made a decision about whose wisdom he would trust.
Chaos rarely arrives all at once. It often begins with ordinary choices that seem reasonable until the consequences finally surface.
In Part 3 of Questions That Change Us, we come to one of the most important questions Jesus asks: “Who do you say I am?” It can be easy to talk about public opinion or what others believe about Jesus, but eventually, the question becomes personal. This isn’t about what the crowds say. It’s about your response. When you consider Jesus’s impact, actions, and claims, you’re faced with a decision that cannot be avoided. Who is Jesus to you? How you answer doesn’t just shape your beliefs—it has the power to change your life.
In Part 2 of Questions That Change Us, we look at another powerful question Jesus asks: “Do you want to get well?” We may think the answer is an obvious one, but it actually may not be–because this question is about more than physical healing. It’s a question about desire, responsibility, and action. Do you truly want to get well? Are you willing to take the next step? Jesus shows us that healing is available, but transformation begins when we honestly answer his question.
In Part 1 of Questions That Change Us, we look at this question Jesus asks: “What do you want?” Jesus already knows the answer, but he encourages us to be honest with ourselves, to reflect on our deepest desires, and bring them before him. This is more than a question—it’s an invitation to honesty, courage, and growth. How we answer may not only shape our decisions but who we are becoming.
Healthy relationships aren’t built on rules, but they can’t survive without a particular one. And it’s a rule that removes every loophole.
The secret to stronger relationships isn’t being understood, but choosing to put someone else first, even when they don’t deserve it.
Every conflict feels like it’s about what someone else did, but the real source runs deeper and it’s hard to admit.
Easter is the moment Jesus traded places with us so we don’t have to carry what’s crushing us.
The gap between skepticism and faith starts to close when Christianity is viewed through the lens of history. In this conversation with Andy Stanley and John Dickson, the story of Jesus is presented as something meant to be investigated, not avoided.
Jesus regularly challenged people’s assumptions about both wealth and eternity, and when he did so it revealed that the way we handle what’s temporary points to what we truly believe is permanent.
Many people experience faith primarily as something they attend or consume. But the moments that deepen faith most often come when we begin giving it away.
It’s easy to assume that prosperity leads to generosity. But many times the opposite is true—generosity becomes the turning point that leads to prosperity.
