Read MoreCrosswalk Column: Growing Up is a Good Thing
Below is my latest Crosswalk Column: Growing Up is a Good Thing As a father of three young kids, I’m never at a loss for laughs. Every single day, one of my kids does or says something so funny that Angela and I burst out in laughter. My son, Daniel, is a year-and-a-half old and…
Read MoreReflections on the National Day of Prayer 2010
Tomorrow is the National Day of Prayer in America. Many local and national events will take place around the country to commemorate this time of public prayer.

Read More7 Factors to Determine Your Direction
I run into a lot of young people who are pretty committed to following Christ with their lives and yet they sort of live in this fog about exactly what that looks like for them. We tend to over-spiritualize God’s Will as if it is some hazy, foggy, wispy thing when it is really not…

We all know Jesus is reminding his followers that to be a disciples means to sacrifice, to take up the cross, to surrender. And I…

This is an excerpt from my new book, Crash Course When I got out of high school I had the bright idea of learning to Rollerblade™. Now if you know me, you know I’m about as coordinated as a giraffe on a skateboard. So I bought some Rollerblades™ and set off for the biggest hill…
Read MoreCarrying Your Cross
Great quote for Sunday by one of my favorite preachers of the past, Dr. Ray Stedman If you belong to Jesus, every day will have its cross, every day will have something you ought to do but you don’t feel like doing. That is your cross. “He who follows me must take up his cross…
