Recalling a life-changing conversation with a friend a few years back… The Bible often leads us to more questions than concrete answers. When we don’t know the answers, perhaps we should model ourselves after Christ.

I really like being comfortable. I mean, who doesn’t? So often, we fiercely protect our comfort. So what are we to make of the reality that the Christ encounter beckons us into discomfort?

It’s an age-old question for people of faith: Which is more important, how much I believe or how much I do? Faith vs. Works? Here’s how a two year-old playing in the ocean taught me about why I really need both, and in a delicate balance.

We all like to think that we have “mature faith,” but how do we know for sure?

Are tears a sign of weakness or emotional health and wellbeing? In a world that breaks our hearts over and over again, is there a point to making time for a “good cry?”
