Scripture tells us to hope in God alone. I can show you how I’ve learned to test I’m doing that in the book Hope in Transition. For now let’s consider the verses. But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.

The fishbowl wasn’t big, but I was becoming a big fish. But long story short, God asked us to lay our family, friends, finances and [...] Read more »

on April 18, 2011 · 4 Comments
It started with at Tweet. Someone sent me a tweet on Twitter asking “What do you do when your prayers aren’t answered?” I knew I needed more that 140 characters, so I started writing an email.

What I’m sensing that means is this: when we walk in what God has called us to do, we get revelation about [...] Read more »

3 Reasons Why Transparency Sucks
on July 1, 2010 · 5 Comments
As I set up Hope In Transition this week, I started preparing to speak on the different insights on Hope to different settings, personal and group experiences, and theology. For some reason that got me thinking about “being transparent.” Trying to be transparent may already be passe.
