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.

How to hold on to faith in the midst of uncertainty
Let’s be real: we are coping with an abundance of ambiguity right now. 2020 taught us to live with open hands like we never have before. And with so much loss in the last year, we might (understandably) be struggling to hold on to our faith. Trusting God with our…
Read MoreLessons from turning 50… in a pandemic
I had a birthday last week. A BIG birthday. To celebrate (COVID-style), and nod to my 50 years treading the earth, I decided to walk 50,000 steps. (When I hatched this hair-brained scheme, I had no idea it would amount to about 22 miles. Yes, I was tired and sore…
Read MoreTrying again: Faithful perseverance in seasons of difficulty
We’re sitting amidst another COVID spike, wondering, perhaps, whether we’ll ever clear this thing. I’m not an epidemiologist (and I don’t even play one on TV) but I do see something in the Bible that might be helpful right now—whether you’re frustrated with COVID or dealing with an entirely different…
Read MoreOvercoming our Divisions
These are difficult days on our planet and in our country. We’re divided over so very much. Frankly, the fractures in our community are making my heart ache. I mean it: this stuff genuinely keeps me awake at night. Author (and fellow Our Daily Bread writer) Elisa Morgan generously offered…
Read MoreClingy. In the Best Way
Y’all know I love words. They’re kind of my thing. I was drawn to explore a Hebrew word last week after reflecting on the story of Ruth. The imagery of Ruth “clinging” to Naomi was compelling. Though Naomi had instructed her daughters-in-law to stay in their native Moab instead of…
Read MoreWhen things change…but maybe you don’t want them to
Change is hard. Even when it’s good, it can be difficult to let go of what we’ve known and planned for. But sometimes it’s necessary. Sometimes we don’t even know why it’s necessary. If we know (even through circumstances) that God has called us onward to a new thing, a…
