When crisis strikes, as believers our light shines bright. The Church was created to minister to and meet the needs of people filled with fear and doubt.

Fasting From Church Stuff
For years I tried to learn from and be like other ministers. I listened to messages, attended conferences, and devoured every Christian book I could. Each time I met a new leader, I tried to become more like them. A few years ago though, God led me to do something very different. (I'm not ne...

The Phases of My Faith
When God wants to change my life, he changes my perspective. As He reframes the way I see the world around me, I start to think and act differently. When it comes to my faith, three phases stand out as particularly formative in the continuing journey of becoming who God has created me to be. Ph...

Strategic Disruptions
The longer you do ministry, the easier it becomes to minister from memory. You tend to do what you've always done. It is safe, comfortable, and convenient. To stay spiritually and creatively fresh, I suggest “strategic disruptions.” To me, this is intentionally disrupting the routine, mundan...

Good Social Media or a Prideful Heart?
We know God opposes the proud. But some forms of social media seem to have redefined what pride is and what it’s not. For example: Imagine if I stood before our church and repeated things I had heard others say: “Joe Smith said, ‘Pastor Craig, you are the best preacher ever! Your sermons cha...

Message Support: When Pigs Fly
We throw around the word “miracle” a lot. But what about real miracles, when the truly impossible becomes reality? Do we really believe that can happen? For many of us, if we’re honest, the answer is “no.” We’d just as soon expect to see a pig fly. Around Jesus, though, it happened a lot...

Message Support: Anxious for Nothing
This series reminds us that despite the uncertainty of the world and the pressure we place on ourselves, Scripture directs us to release that anxiety to God. When we do, we don’t have to lie awake at night. Our shortness of breath can be replaced by life-giving rest. We can feel a peace that goes b...
