Ready to grow in your faith?
Me, too. I'd love to share what I'm learning with you.
Here you'll find a collection of blog posts and articles to encourage you on the journey of faith. I hope you'll drop me a line if one of them is particularly helpful.
Can I offer that encouragement in person (or virtually)? Let's discuss your needs for a retreat or conference speaker. (Visit my speaking page for additional details and sample messages.)
And I've included a variety of other resources to equip you as well, including a free Bible study download, links to all my Our Daily Bread articles, and links to my other published blog posts and books.
Dig in, friend! I'm glad you're here.
Free Bible study
To equip you on the journey of faith.
He is... therefore i am
Is there a difference between what your mind knows to be true about God and what your heart seems to believe?
The He is... therefore i am Bible study (co-authored with Julie Turner) examines six attributes of God's character and encourages participants to embrace the corresponding truths in their own lives.
The free e-book available for download. Printed copies of 10 or more also available by request.
When is your next retreat or conference?
I have been speaking professionally for more than two decades. I still love every minute of serving ministries through spoken messages. Please check out my speaking page to discover some of the topics I'm often asked to address either as a keynote or workshop.
Maybe you or your event speakers need some support crafting and delivering their messages? I've coached TEDx speaker slates and ministry conference speakers and I'd love to come alongside your efforts as a coach, too.

What it means to “neighbor”
The realization came with a sting. The kind of sting you can’t shake. It’s been a few weeks and I still feel it. That’s probably a good thing. I’ve been reading a book by Steven Garber called Visions of Vocation. (If you haven’t read it already, please add it to your reading…

Staying the course: Faithful persistence after “Quitter’s Day”
The second Friday in January has been dubbed “National Quitter’s Day”—the day when most people abandon their New Year’s resolutions. Maybe you’re not someone who makes “resolutions.” Maybe you’re more of a goal setter. Maybe you choose a word or a verse for the year. Whatever form it might take,…

Backpacks or burdens: when to ask for (and give) help—and when not to?
For most people I know, asking for help is one of the most difficult things to do. Some of that challenge is particularly American: we were raised on the notion of “rugged individualism.” Some of it’s also a lack of humility: we don’t like admitting our inability to do something…

When you’re humbled by a lump of clay
I was mortified. Okay, maybe that’s a little dramatic. But I was genuinely embarrassed and seriously considered leaving (with my tail tucked between my legs). At the beginning of the year, as part of my annual goal-setting effort, I decided I’d try at least four new things as a way…

For when you’re overwhelmed
The last few months have been—in a word—overwhelming. In general, I’m very diligent about my calendar and not putting too much on it. And yet sometimes it just gets away from me. A few things converged to create this flurry of activity: As you can see, with the exception of…

Fulfilling the purpose of small groups
I have had the joy of participating in multiple study/community/small groups over the course of my 30+ years as a Christian. For the most part, these weekly gatherings have been a regular boon to my life. They encourage me. They sharpen me. They equip me. I look forward to them. …
