Imagine the Possibilities

Do you know Paul Henderson?  He is a Canadian hockey legend.  He scored the winning goal against the Soviets in 1972 with thirty-four seconds left on the clock.  He’s also a Christian, and he’s used his influence since then to share Christ with thousands of people. You might be thinking you could never be a […] Read More >

Increasing my Capacity for Leadership

I thought I had come up with the formula for managing stress. I even taught it at stress management seminars. But it wasn’t until I found true risk-free security that I knew how to battle stress for good. Conquering things beyond my ability has always been a part of who I am. At 8 years […] Read More >

Introducing the 35-Day Challenge

Say you sign up to run a 10K race a few months from now.  What would be easier?  To get ready for the race by yourself?  Or to join a local training program, where you’ll be given lots of support, a clear set of training instructions, and the chance to run with a team? When […] Read More >

Is Your Jesus Plastic?

You probably don’t like to admit when you’re struggling.  Not many people do.  But here’s a strange truth: when we’re honest about the things we find difficult, we are much more likely to be respected by the people we are trying to reach.  It’s a sad fact that many people expect to find hypocrisy when […] Read More >

Is Your Jesus Plastic?

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16 (ESV) You probably don’t like to admit when you’re struggling.  Not many people do. But here’s a strange truth: when we’re honest about the […] Read More >

It Is a Big Step

When you watched Peter’s video, did you see yourself?  Was making the Life commitment an easy decision for you?  Or one that you had to wrestle through? You might think Jesus wants His followers to say “Yes” to Him with zero hesitation, no questions asked, not an ounce of fear.  That’s not true.  Jesus encouraged […] Read More >

It Is Only Snow

Don’t forget to confess. I have a confession to make.  I’m sorry.  I shouldn’t have done that.  Please forgive me.  Do you ever say words like that to the people in your life?  What about to God? Admitting that you’ve done something wrong is not easy.  It can be awkward, scary, and humbling.  A few […] Read More >

It’s Only Snow

Snow is a funny thing.  As it’s falling, it seems so insubstantial.  But it doesn’t take long for it to pile up and become an enormous obstacle. Back in January, we had a big snowfall, and I was using the snow-blower.  Our driveway is steep, so it’s almost impossible to drive a vehicle up it […] Read More >

Jesus Is Better Than Costco

Watch Inspire Multiplication, and you’ll be reminded of a strange irony.  On the one hand, the film tells us, we’re a part of something BIG.  Jesus said, “You are the light of the world.”  He’s left it up to us (us, as in you and me!) to go out into the world, and spread His […] Read More >

Keep Going. Redemption Takes Time

  Watch Lecrae’s story and you’ll meet a man who didn’t come to Jesus easily or quickly.  People in his life tried to point him towards God.  “Are you saved?”  someone asked.   “No!” was his answer. “Try reading the Bible,” his mom said.  Angry, he ripped his Bible apart.  Then one day, a friend invited […] Read More >
