Contemplating Christmas

I’m posting over at A Deeper Church today. Hope you’ll go check it out. I have had a long year. The last 12 months might have been some of the best, and the worst, I can remember.  Back-to-back-to-back transitions, a crazy travel schedule, and reacclimating to life in Nashville has worn me out. And then yesterday, […]

Let’s Do Justice

Another place I’m honored to contribute monthly is Prodigal Magazine. I will be writing on their Social Justice channel. Here’s some more information about the site: Not everyone has the power to live a good story. I know that sounds unfair and the truth is, it is. Some good stories are blocked by injustice. There are […]

Pondering Grace

Today I’m blogging over at a newish channel of Deeper Story, A Deeper Church. Deeper Church is a gathering of friends, old and new, who love wrestling, engaging, and exploring stories to find common truths. Lately I have been pondering grace. And truth. But mostly grace. I wonder if I truly appreciate it. Click here to […]

Permission to Dream

Today’s post is from Amanda Williams. I met Amanda about 18 months ago when I was in desperate need of a running partner and she innocently tweeted about joining the East Nasty’s, an East Nashville running group. And while our running has lagged, our friendship has continued to flourish. Amanda is smart, funny, but more importantly […]

What Fear Can Kill

Today’s post is from Bianca Juarez Olthoff. ‘B’ works for The A21 Campaign as the Chief Storyteller. And she is believes in me, and my dreams, even when I can’t believe in them myself. Bianca dreams and she dreams big.  I am immensely thankful Bianca and her husband Matt and how they have welcomed me into their life […]

Brave Enough to Dream

Today’s post is from Stephen Brewster. ‘Brewster’ works for Cross Point Church as the Creative Arts Pastor and he is a hustlin’ creative and one of the best encouragers I know. If I ever need a pep talk, I call {or more accurately, text} Stephen and he helps bring things into focus…who I am, what I am […]

The Quest

Today I am guest posting over on Ed Stetzer’s blog as a part of his “Thursday is for Thinkers” series. {I know, I know, I probably don’t come to the top of your mind when you list out today’s great thinkers.} I shared a little bit about the quest I’ve been on lately. And man, […]

It’s Hard

My friends Justin and Trisha Davis asked if I would be willing to guest post on their blog. I happily obliged because I adore the Davises and there aren’t many things I wouldn’t do for them. But it has been a little difficult to find the discipline to get the post written. Why?  Well, because […]
