The Glory That Belongs to AnotherIn Acts 3, Peter and John heal a man who has been lame since birth. It's a remarkable miracle—exactly the kind of event that naturally draws a crowd. And it does. Luke tells us that the people “were filled with wonder and amazement.” They rush toward the apostles in awe, wide-eyed and marveling.But Peter doesn’t accept the awe. He doesn’t bask in the glow of the moment. Instead, he interrupts the celebration with a disarming question:“W...

The Gospel for the Not OkayWe often assume the gospel is good news for the strong: that Jesus came for the capable, obedient, and tidy. However, the gospel is not good news for those who are self-sufficient. It is not for those who have figured it out.

The Call to Live BackwardsA Future That Reaches for UsBeing a follower of Jesus is not just accepting a set of beliefs or belonging to a religious group. It means living in a new reality that challenges the current order and points toward its renewal. Christians are those who, by grace, have caught a glimpse of the world to come—and who, through the Spirit, are being shaped by its vision. We are not protectors of sacred nostalgia, preserving relics of a past era. We are messe...

If you have given up on prayer, never started, or suspect the whole enterprise is a conversation with an empty room, I think you will find a friend here too. The question this book asks is not, finally, a religious questi...

We Christians claim to believe in compassion. We preach it, teach it, and regard it as essential to our faith. However, when pain appears at our doorstep-in the form of a grieving friend, a broken neighbor, or a stranger in need-we often freeze. We don't know what to say. We don't want to say the wrong thing. Thus, we remain silent. We maintain a safe distance.This book invites us to learn how to move past our fears and misgivings and begin to engage hurting people in a profoundly ...

Recovering the Lost Art of Spiritual EldershipIn the modern West, aging is often treated as something to fight or hide. But in Scripture, it’s something to honor. Gray hair is a crown of wisdom. Elders are not sidelined—they are essential.Throughout the Bible, the older generation is charged with spiritual responsibility. Psalm 78:4 says, “We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord.” Paul tells Titus to have old...
