A life on adventure with Jesus

Then there’s Jesus
Yesterday morning I was sitting in front of 200 female inmates facilitating a seminar (with my friend, MaryEllen) about Jesus and the Word of God. Many of these women are newly incarcerated. Raw. Emotional. Hopeless. As I looked over the faces of those women… Continue Reading “Then there’s Jesus”
Set an Extra Chair
A few days ago, I sat in a coffee shop in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas. It was my Friday morning date with Jesus so MaryEllen set up at one side with her Bible and I went to another table. We were both meeting with… Continue Reading “Set an Extra Chair”
The Adventure Begins
He wants His House filled, friends. And maybe…maybe these next 16 days will prove to fill some seats around His Table. Wouldn’t that be awesome?!
The True Gospel
My personal study lately has found me in the book of Galatians and I have found myself basking in the beauty of the Gospel. This study has also brought up something else for me: the “other” gospel. Paul refers to it multiple times throughout… Continue Reading “The True Gospel”
How Hungry are You?

When I chose to go on a missions trip this past fall and serve the female inmates in prison, I got the same question over and over again before I left. “Why prison?” It’s a valid question. There are a thousand different places to… Continue Reading “He’s got this”
Contagious Courage
Sitting in my room at fourteen years old and reading his story was the first I heard of him. The man I read about in those pages was a pastor in Ukraine and had the faith of a giant. I read about the things… Continue Reading “Contagious Courage”
Bravery that’s Bigger than Me
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you: I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I will place My Spirit within you and cause you to follow My statutes and carefully… Continue Reading “Bravery that’s Bigger than Me”
A Passport and a Backpack
It was one of those moments. The kind that movies are made of….and I stood there wondering what I should do. For years I had heard the gentle whisper of God’s Spirit and had ignored it. Maybe even pushed it away forcefully. Stubbornly. This… Continue Reading “A Passport and a Backpack”
