Discipleship.

Mission.

Becoming.

This is where I write about the things that matter most — what it means to follow Jesus seriously, how that shapes the life you're actually living, and who you're becoming in the process. Some posts come from my sermons. Some from Scripture I can't stop thinking about. Some from conversations that stuck with me. All of it is written for the apprentice of Christ who wants to go deeper. Let’s dig in!

Suffering and the Sealed

Four horses ride out across the Roman world. War, hunger, and death follow. And a question hangs in the air: who is able to stand? This week in our Behind The Curtain series, Revelation chapters 6–7 pull back the curtain on our suffering. The Lamb holds the reins. He walks his people through it and forms them into faithful witnesses who stand. But how do we live this way in the empire?

Letters From The King (Revelation 2-3)

In Revelation chapters 2–3, Jesus writes to 7 real churches facing fear, compromise, comfort, and apathy. Before the enemy attacks from outside, he's already sitting in the pews. This week in our Behind The Curtain series, we'll see what Jesus does when he walks among his church.

Jesus's words are hard because his love is fierce. (Revelation 3:19) Where has comfort quietly replaced faithfulness in us? Jesus loves his church too much to leave her asleep.

What If We’ve Been Reading Revelation Wrong?

Wars. Headlines. Prophecy charts. YouTube experts. What if we've been reading Revelation wrong? We'll let the book introduce itself in Revelation chapter 1 as a letter from Jesus to real churches under real pressure, with a blessing promised to everyone who hears it (Revelation 1:3). When the curtain pulls back, Jesus stands there and says, "Don't be afraid."

God’s Kingdom Work In Greece

Robert Garon shares what he experienced during ten days in Greece this past June with our EFM Luke 10 team. A man, named David, thought he was in control of his life until he had a vision of Jesus who said, "Try and control me." An Iranian woman described finding Jesus after fleeing for her life, and has since helped thousands of refugees receive free medical care and planted a church in Athens. Those stories and more will be shared. Our prayer is that the Holy Spirit stirs something fresh in all of us, the way he's already moving in Greece.

The Night That Left Him Limping

God doesn’t meet you when you finally have it together. He meets you in the dirt, in the dark, the night before you have to face everything you’ve been running from. A look at Genesis 32–36, where Jacob wrestles with God and walks away with a new name and a limp — and the question becomes: what would you be willing to surrender to get there?
