  • The prophetic voice

    As I ponder Daniel 2 this week to prepare for next Sunday: 1. Can we, as believers, learn to speak to the culture? 2. Can we hear from God to speak to the culture? 3. Can we boldly believe we WILL hear from God to speak to the culture?

  • The way we (don’t) talk about race

    The way we (don’t) talk about race is the way we (don’t) talk about violence in America. The way we (don’t) talk about race is the way we (don’t) talk about mental health in America.

  • #PointerGate

    Look! A white lady pointing! The lady is Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges. The blurred out face is Navell Gordon. This is the controversial story (HERE). Quite honestly, it is now IMPOSSIBLE to try to read deep enough to find any semblance of “truth” as to why this has exploded in the media. Those to the “left” are posting thousands of…
