"I want my prayers to be conditioned in such a way that I confess what I hold to be true about God.
In particular, He is a big God and a loving God.
When I pray, I don’t want to skirt around hopes and outcomes—I want to make direct requests to the one who has all power. He is in charge.
And not only that, He is compassionate and gracious and kind. When I pray, I want to appeal to these things that I confidently hold and ask boldly and in faith."

Christians Should Struggle
Absolutely, every generation will wrestle to believe the power of Christ—the power to forgive sins, the power to take those sins away, to blot them out completely. Yet, that same power that gives new life also applies to the daily need to put sins to death.
Jesus offers total justification—there is no guilt or condemnation for any Christian. Likewise, Jesus—by the Spirit—provides spiritual animation. The fight is real, but it should not be a losing battle.
In the grace and power of Christ, let’s embrace the call to be strugglers.

What Gets You Out of Bed in the Morning?
Whatever God is doing, He created us for participation.
In the Garden, we were created for cultivation.
In the wilderness, we now take part in Christ’s work of reconciliation.
And in the City, we’ll enjoy the blessing and active work and rest of glorification.

Redeeming Ancestry
I have no evidence to suggest my ancestors promoted or benefitted from the slave trade, but I also have no evidence to suggest they didn’t—which is statistically more probable as a family, like many others, that had taken English customs and translated them into a new bourgeoning “Southern” way of life.
As I've reflected on my ancestry and the likelihood of its regrettable involvement in one of the most heinous violations of the Imago Dei in the modern era, I was reminded of Jesus’ family tree. Though noteworthy at various points, Jesus’ ancestors made up a colorful list of sinners.

Coffee and the Moment of Salvation
I’ve met so many people who’ve wrestled with their "moment of salvation.”
For them, the concern isn’t that they can’t remember the exact time. The concern is that if they can’t remember the moment, they worry their salvation isn’t genuine.
Here’s the good news.
You might not remember the moment, but God does.

The Mountain of God
The Mountain of God stands tall in the Bible.
The Mountain is the place where heaven and earth overlap. Visually, it’s where sky and land collide. But more importantly, the mountaintop in the Bible is a place of spiritual intersection.
The Bible presents the mountain motif to connect God’s activity with humanity through history. It’s on the mountaintop that God steps down to grace humanity with His presence, and where He invites us up into relationship with Him. Across the Bible’s many mountains, three stand out above the rest—Eden, Sinai, and Zion.

The Right Amount of Stretch
Intentionality is the aim to be purposeful and thoughtful with our efforts.
By contrast, margin is our available and unassigned bandwidth in life.
Margin speaks to potential, the possibility of opportunity.
Intentionality - Biblically Expected
Margin - Biblically Wise
Zone 1: Low Margin + High Intentionality
Zone 2: High Margin + Low Intentionality
Zone 3: Low Margin + Low Intentionality
Zone 4: High Margin + High Intentionality

I Can Carry You - w/ Audio Edition
"As Frodo lies on the ground, unable to move forward, in a poignant moment, Sam tells his friend, 'I can’t carry [the ring] for you, but I can carry you!' This is the Christian life expressed in mutual dependence between brothers and sisters in the faith."
