How to Ruin Your Life and Starting Over When You Do
By Eric Geiger

To bring strong and tall buildings to the ground, demolition experts strategically place tiny explosives throughout the structure of a building so that the building will topple on itself.  Instead of destroying the building from the outside, they destroy it from within.  In the same way many great men and women have imploded, and others are well on their way.  (more…)

Ignoring the certainty of death doesn’t protect us from feeling its effects throughout the lives we’re living now.  But this avoidance can hold us back from experiencing the powerful, everyday relevance of Jesus’s promises to us.  (more…)

Fake Or Follower
By Andi Andrew

We live in a culture where many identify as “Christian” without fully embracing what it looks like to follow Jesus day-in and day-out.  After gathering on a Sunday, do we simply go about our business, void of true transformation?  Is the gospel simply a self-help tool, the church just a place where our needs can be met?  It’s time to ask ourselves, “Am I really following Jesus?  Or am I just faking it?”

With eye-opening personal stories, Scripture, and thought-provoking (more…)

Quit Church
By Chris Sonksen

Quit church?  Well, not exactly.  (more…)
