3 questions for the end of the day
There are three questions you should ask yourself everyday.
How to interact with suffering friends
Every one of us should be able and willing to simply lend a listening, non-judgmental ear. Suffering is a profoundly isolating experience. The only way to let another know about it, which can sometimes offer just the slightest reprieve from the weight, is to talk about it.
Five podcasts I couldn’t live without
Like most of you I have a lot on my plate. One of the most challenging elements of life can be making time to continue to learn and develop both as a minister and as a leader. I've found that podcasts are an excellent way to learn.
The virtue of self-acceptance
Self-acceptance means coming to the place where you're able to accept yourself as you are. You can only get there through coming to accept God's unconditional electing love that chose you just as you are not on the basis of your idealized self or even your future self. No. God saved you because he loves you. And he loves you because he saved you. File that under the category of "mystery."
