Grow Down: Rediscovering Childlike Faith in a Grown-Up World

Remember that childhood dream of becoming a professional football player, veterinarian, or astronaut? We all harbored aspirations of growing up, believing it meant achieving success and independence. But what if the key to true joy and purpose lies not in "growing up," but in "growing down"?

Unlock the Power of Hospitality at Home

Have you ever heard of the “Seattle Freeze?”

It's not about weather or ice cream; it’s about the tendency of people where I live to maintain politeness while resisting deeper connections. While it’s better than being overtly rude, it can also leave us stuck in shallow relationships.

Believe God: Overcome Doubt and Rebuild Faith

When was the last time you seriously doubted God?

Maybe it was after facing a loss, maybe it was after a high point of faith ended in disappointment, or maybe it’s right now because you’re still waiting on an answer to prayer.

These moments can be challenging, but they also give us a choice: will we choose faith or give in to unbelief?
