We each have an emotional need that drives our lives—our Primal Question. I’ll show how to figure it out, avoid its mess, and leverage its power for good.

We will encounter difficulties, some mild and others suffocating. We have a way through and one that provides peace.

It’s not easy to believe that God cares about us and is active in our daily lives. He often seems absent, but he’s not. We can engage practices and patience to encounter his presence.

The question that guides my life and ministry is: “How can we journey with Jesus better?” I’ll break that question down and show what I’m up to.

I had a vibrant conversation recently with a man of Muslim faith. He drove my Uber. I asked for permission to talk about his faith, and he gave it. 

Something disturbs me about walking on the beach. It reflects a fear most of us have about the impact of our lives. I fear my life’s footprints won’t remain. Or worse, I wonder if I’m making any difference.

We want to do this with our fear, flatten the curve. It’s possible to remove fear, but we need to start by flattening its hold on us, lowering its intensity, and freeing our minds from negative thoughts about the future.

I'm passionate to serve others as a spiritual guide–unleashing them to be the hero of their own stories, be players in Jesus' story, and come alive. I saw the value of a guide on a whitewater rafting trip in West Virginia. His name was Neo.

Typically, we start with excitement, make a purchase or sign up for a plan, give it a go with pure willpower, and then end up with the 80 percent of people who quit their New Year’s resolutions before mid-February. Let’s do it differently.

We might feel forced to forfeit our traditional Christmas gathering, but we're also in danger of missing out on the best parts of Christmas. And it’s not our fault. But this year can be different.

Overcoming incredible odds, Tiger let them feel his competitive presence and witness what many call a comeback for the ages. And the world celebrated. It was not unlike Easter. But it was not like it either.

I don’t have any qualms insisting someone watch a movie I enjoyed, so why do I flinch before even mentioning Jesus to them? Has anyone else pondered this too?

Everyone can experience the personal love, grace, beauty, and empowerment of Jesus without coming to church, our church, or anyone else’s church. It’s not about church.

After an intense and enjoyable conversation about Jesus with a grad student who claimed to be an atheist, I cited Pascal's seemingly wise words as my closing argument. I asked, “So do you want to choose Jesus because if you do and we find he doesn’t exist, you will have lost nothing?” She replied, “No. That would be crazy.”

It's quite the fad these days to not believe in God. You, however, probably do believe. I know of one simple way to tell. And I’ll tell you in this Journey Guide.

Our world is controlled by its own Capitol with a leader, our Enemy, whose greatest weapon is to hijack our understanding. We need what we have: a Mockingjay who knows what’s real and what isn’t.      

The best type of inventory is a spiritual one. I want to help us do our spiritual inventory right now.

So, you're shopping for a church. It isn’t easy to find the perfect one, but I think I can tell you exactly how to do it with this Journey Guide.

Every Christian longs to know and do God’s will. It’s who we are. We love God and want to do what he wants us to do. But does he tell us what to do with every decision?
