Spring has finally come to Colorado. Last evening, Stasi and I took a lovely after-dinner walk through the neighborhood. The sun is setting later each day, and it was one of those wonderful evenings where the deer were out and browsing, a few...

This is a letter on how to pray for the people you love—especially those who do not yet love Jesus or see the Truth in him.

Well…2023 is out of the gates and down the track––even though my soul didn’t really get on board until late January! (Friends of ours still have their Christmas decorations up; their souls haven’t been able to make the transition yet!) Ready or...

Dear Friends,

A very merry Christmastide to you…wherever and whenever this letter finds you!

I don’t need to say much this month; the holidays for most people are typically full enough. 

I do want to say, before anything else...

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.– Psalm 23:1 In his beautiful book Life Without Lack, Dallas Willard unpacks the meaning of Psalm 23:1 with these words: I am in the care of someone else. I’m not the one in charge. I’ve taken my kingdom...

I’m guessing that the biggest issue facing you right now is not what present to get someone for Christmas or how many different kinds of cookies to bake. There are larger forces at play in each of our lives.

Many years ago, someone shared this quote with me, and it stayed with me because it names something so deeply true to the human predicament:

“The way through the world is more difficult to find than the way beyond it...

I find it interesting to be in the last quarter of my life…at least if you divide a lifetime by 20 year increments. As I approach my 63rd birthday, I sometimes catch myself in my dreaming. I want to partner with God in so many ways bringing his...

Over the years, what I’ve tried to do with these letters is to share with you what I’m hearing from Jesus, and what I’m seeing unfold in the world, so that we all might walk more closely with him and strengthen ourselves with his strength in this...

I want to begin this letter with a big, resounding Thank You!

We finished our ministry year in December right where our donations needed to be! You helped us out of the red and into the black with an outpouring of generosity, and I just...

It doesn’t matter if I’m onstage or not. I find the communal experience of a rock concert achieves a kind of transcendence. It’s the closest thing to what I think people expect church to be like. Or maybe just what I’ve always thought church...
