The algorithm is very good at making you feel like everyone else got the invitation you didn't. It is less good at telling you that the people who seem most inside are also, frequently, wandering the perimeter.

Lenten Devotional Series: Jesus is, Day 14 Jesus is the light of the world.

Darkness in our own lives accumulates slowly. One day you look up and realize you have been making your peace with it for so long you have forgotten what you were making peace with.

Just read the final sentences of Theo of Golden. Wow, Allen Levi, what a beautiful story. Tears are still running down my face. 🙏🏼 #theoofgolden

Jesus said: “I am the light of the world.” The whole complicated, compromised, beautiful, unfinished world.

When Leaders Disappoint: The Emotional Power of Projection What’s happening underneath is rarely spoken aloud: this leader did not become the parent, healer, reformer or savior I needed them to be. You might not have known you were asking for that, but your n...

The crowd loved him… until they didn’t. It turns out we prefer our messiahs manageable. Close enough to inspire us. Not close enough to confront us.

The cliff is never far from the applause.

Losing an illusion can feel like losing faith. But faith built on someone else’s perfection is always fragile.

Sometimes the truest form of belief begins when we stop asking other people to carry what only God can hold.

Not all conflict is about now. Sometimes it’s about a yesterday asking to be healed. #transference #projection #leadership

When expectations collapse, the body often treats it as danger. Breath shortens. Imagination shrinks. Everything feels urgent.

That reaction may be about more than the current moment. It may be older than the room you’re standing in. #transference #projection #leadership (1/2)

Fred Craddock called it the hunger beneath all our hungers... the longing that surfaces no matter how full your life appears. Most of us spend years trying to satisfy it with the wrong things. #Jesusisherelent

Hunger has a way of making the past look better than it was. The Israelites remembered Egypt fondly. They forgot what it cost them to eat there. #Jesusisherelent

Augustine chased meaning through achievement, pleasure, certainty… anything to silence a restlessness he couldn't name. He finally landed here: O God...our hearts are restless until they rest in you. Most of us take the long way around to that discovery. #Jesusisherelent

The Believing Tree (a story)
Here is something I’ve played with on and off again for a while. It’s inspired by Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree in several ways, but is…different. 😉 #givingtree #believingtree #poetry #story #creativityexperiment
