If you've never met our college pastor, Chris Shepperd, you should absolutely make that a goal this year. I've known him since I was 18 and a brand new resident of Texas. He and his wife Leisha held a college small group in their living room for many years (before it was an official ministry!), …

The final installment of our "Study in Light" series begins with a question... [Jesus] said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the son of the living God." And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this …

a study in light, part 2: intention

In "A Study in Light, Part 1: Inception," we left off with the biggest set up in history. We allowed ourselves to explore a bit of the science behind light and examined the creation of light in our universe. This time, it's the climax -- God created light and life, and we know that God …

a study in light, part 1: inception

Light is one of those lovely mysteries that we see and take for granted. It's always there -- sometimes by our doing and sometimes as a byproduct of the world around us. But what is light's ultimate origin? At the start of a 3-part study on Light, I believe there's only one place to begin......at …

what 2020 forced us to face

On November 20, 2020November 19, 2020 By LindsayLeave a comment

Whether this year made you focus and thrive or it kicked you in the teeth, there is something I think we've all learned about ourselves through hard times. 2020 was no different than any other year, except that it forced the entire globe to face one major threat together. I think there was something oddly …

When I turned 18, one of the very first things I did was register to vote. I remember being so proud to have the opportunity to help decide who got to sit in the Oval Office behind that big desk. Me! Of all people! And I did nothing to earn it except make my appearance …

Every lie we buy into about ourselves is rooted in what we believe about God. Jennie Allen If you don't know the author Jennie Allen, I highly recommend her. The quote above is from one of her newer books called Get Out of Your Head and ever since I read that in her devotional version …

service through a mask

It is almost month 8 of wearing a mask where I live and it has radically changed our day-to-day lives. The process for grocery shopping, ordering food, and going to doctor visits has added obstacles that most Americans didn't have to think about before the coronavirus came to our shores. The world has changed, and …

3 attributes of a biblical friend

On September 18, 2020September 10, 2020 By LindsayLeave a comment

You know that saying, "You don't get to choose your family, but you always get to choose your friends"? I wholeheartedly believe that God intended friendships to be necessary and crucial to making it through this world. Now, friendship has never once come easy for me; in fact, I've never felt qualified to write about …

what you choose to see

The popular child's game "I Spy" has been around since (at least) the 18th century. My family plays a variation on road trips where you have to find objects based on the order of the alphabet. And when you're going through the middle of nowhere and can't find anything that starts with a "V" or …
