TAKE 5 | Beyond Resistance: Discovering Peace Through Dependence and Surrender
The close relationship between righteousness and peace is fostered through the little virtues. Learning to align ourselves with God’s very good way for us tends to increase peace in our lives and our work. This is what I think the psalmist means when he writes, “Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other” (Psalm 85:10).
TAKE 5 | Focus vs. Distraction: Unpacking the Mary & Martha Story

TAKE 5 | Jesus Joins Us in Our Suffering
"I will never leave you or forsake you.", "Lo, I will be with you to the very end of the age." and "I am sending a comforter." are all the phrases of Scripture that enter my head when I ponder - Jesus Joins Us in Our Suffering.
TAKE FIVE | Mini-Retreat - A Master of Life
A lot of times we break our faith up into compartments between our spiritual life and our life at work. But that is not what God wants.

I believe everyone is in full time ministry, not just those who are paid to do 'spiritual work' - what do you think?
TAKE FIVE | Mini-Retreat - No Time Like the PResent
In Matthew 6:27 Jesus asks, " Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" I think we know this is true, but sometimes we think by hurrying we can pack more in! As many of us experience the beauty of Fall we are reminded there is a broader sense of time at work.
TAKE FIVE | Mini-Retreat - The Mystery of INDWELLING
What does it mean to have Christ in us? Today we ponder this mystical union we have with Christ once we receive Him by faith and follow Him.
