Some people take pride in saying, “We’ve never had a big fight."  Others hold up their spotless record like a trophy—never made a mess, never rocked the boat, never strayed from the plan.

But here’s the problem: A mess-free marriage is often a fruitless marriage.

Proverbs 14:4 says, “Where there a...

If you’ve been in church more than seven times since 2020 you’ve heard the expression “new wineskin” tossed around here and there. It’s a favorite—usually said with a wink (or an eyeroll) and a nod toward doing things differently.

But here’s the truth: most of us are still planted well within the ...

For years, I thought I was free from measuring my worth by money.
I had learned to separate my identity from the ups and downs of income.
Money, I told myself, is just a scoreboard—it doesn’t define me, it just reflects how I’m playing the game.

Good mindset right?  It releases all the performance pr...

Falling in Love Again: She’s not the woman I loved 2 weeks ago

Two weeks ago, my wife went through what I can only describe as a spiritual birthing. It was intense, disruptive, beautiful—raw in a way that only Jesus can orchestrate. Since then, she’s spent 12 days on a mission trip in Mexico City. ...

Most of us assume surrender is about giving up control and letting God take over—like handing Him the wheel while we climb int...

Let's be honest, America is a divided house, and we all know what Jesus said about those. The way we talk to each other—online, in coffee shops, at family dinners— it reveals a deeper problem than policy disagreements. It shows a choice we keep making, one that started long before America was even a...

If you’ve been around the self-help world for more than eleven minutes, you’ve probably heard some version of this:

"You can’t control what happens to you, but you can control how you respond."

It’s a solid principle. Biblical, even. Paul, sitting in prison, wrote about being content in all circum...

Manifesting or Meditating? The Difference That Changes Everything

Ever heard the phrase, “If you can dream it, you can do it”? Sounds inspiring, right? It’s the fuel behind vision boards, manifestation techniques, and positive affirmations. But let’s be honest—how many times have we set out to crea...

There’s Peace in the Ashes

Fifteen days. That’s how long Whit and I have been in Los Angeles with Catch the Wave since the fire tore through the Palisades, Altadena, and Pasadena. In that time, we’ve been on a mission—not just to provide spiritual, emotional, and financial support, but to walk alon...

What a waste of time to hand out gift cards and toys - this is a wealthy area, they don’t need it.  They don’t want your handouts, they’ll just go to Target and get what they need.

Have you experienced this before?  You have an idea to help, it stirs your heart and you follow only to have your moti...

The Los Angeles Fire Zone

I was walking Duke and Daisy while talking to Chad and Julia as they drove to the airport at the end of their anniversary trip.  It was a brainstorm - Chad and Julia both felt their hearts break for Los Angeles, but they had chosen to stay focused on their marriage during ...
