I must be honest, I have an ever growing itch to live truly shaped by the life of Christ and within His Kingdom. I know some think of me as radically living out my faith, and probably because of american christian complacency it may sometimes appear that way. However, when I step into reality andContinue reading “An Itch…”

Transformation Vs. Information
Have you ever ran into somebody who could quote the Bible like nobody’s business and simultaneously cut someone to pieces with their words as if they were a child of the devil? How is this so?

The Weightier Matters
I remember when I was moving into my new house in Philly last October and I invited a bunch of people over to help me move.

Transparency
Sometimes when I look around, it seems like everyone else has it all together, and that I am the only one who struggles and has weaknesses.
