Steve Sjogren had an encouraging word today that spoke to me.  So I thought I would pass it along.
This week has been one of those when I have been hearing / reading Paul’s encouragement everywhere I go, “Don’t grow weary in doing good, for you shall reap a harvest if you do not give up” [...]

If you live in our fair city you know how many signs there are on the sides of the roads.  Signs for Realtors, signs for [...]

soul cravings week 2

  
This has been a very moving week for me as I have prepared to speak.  The topic is our craving for intimacy, and I was reminded this week that my core brokenness is my fear of true intimacy. True intimacy with God, and true intimacy with others.   I was brought to my knees on [...]

2 years

This Sunday Community of Hope will turn two.  I can’t believe we have been at this for two years.  Its even harder to believe that my family moved almost three years ago to Maricopa.  When we arrived here we only knew a handful of people, today I can not count how many people we know.  [...]
