We see in Matthew, Mark and Luke in chapters 10, 6, and 10 respectively that Jesus begins to send out the 12 to proclaim the good news. They were sent to focus specifically on the house of Israel and literally house to house or town to town. And while the message was for all – […]
So there is this movement. And it is a good movement, right? Back to creating disciples who live out the mission of God every day. People who don’t just “do church” but who have rhythms in their life that identify with the Gospel, as Family of God, who live on mission with God. I have […]
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. – Romans 12:2 (ESV) This verse has stuck out to me lately as I have been spending a lot of […]
So Mark 8 tells this crazy story. If you follow Jesus life you see people went wherever he was. The story starts with this crowd who had gathered for the past three days. There number is now at 4,000. And they were hungry. So Jesus calls his disciples to him, and he says something really […]
And he went up on the mountain and called to him those whom he desired, and they came to him. And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach. – Mark 3:13-14 (ESV) In my years of working with middle […]

“You shall have no other gods before me” – Exodus 20:3 Idolatry is not something we like to talk about…because we don’t struggle with it, right? And yet, as I scroll through my social media feeds I realize that we (myself included) are sorely confused. We assume because we don’t have this honking carved stone […]
In Matthew 28, Jesus is clear in the command he gives his disciples, which echoes down to us. And as disciples, whether we are 62 years in age or 12 years in age, we too are commanded to make disciples. So what does that look like for a middle school student? Specifically in context of being […]
I remember thinking working in a church would be easy. Maybe not easy – but I certainly didn’t think it would be this difficult. I liked to believe a community of people gathered together who claimed Christ would be a good representation of the One they claimed to follow. But as I looked closer and […]
Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.” But the Lord said to me. “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be […]
