The Meaning Crisis: Does my work even matter?

“Is this really what I’m supposed to be doing with my life??”Do you have those moments of doubt? I sure do! At the end of the day I sometimes find myself asking, “Oh come on. Really? This is all I do? Does it even matter?”

Stop Climbing! The Secret to Getting Closer to God

I mean, I know the common 'wisdom' that the spiritual life involves ascending to heaven and escaping this mortal world. It’s right there in the word, “spirituality!” Obviously, I need to climb the ladder to connect with God, right?

Napping can be a prayer and a "sacrament"

Here’s a true story from one of our retreat attendees:I spread my blanket in a sunny spot in the woods, lay down stiffly and said, “Ok Jesus. Instead of praying, I’m going to take a nap now. Will you still be here when I wake up?”

Rest and Restoration

What do we do when we've betrayed Jesus? Nothing. We're stuck. What does Jesus do when we've betrayed him? He seeks us out to forgive and restore us!

No other gods offer security

My anxious heart desperately searches the world asking, "Are you my God? Are you? Or you?" I peer hopefully at Power, thinking perhaps it can protect me. I gaze longingly at Money, wondering if it might provide the security I crave... But none of those things can really be my God. They are all big, ugly Snorts!

Who, not How: Watching Jesus Provide

I get scared that Jesus isn’t sure how to help me, so I turn my attention to what I think will solve my problem. It’s usually money. I have a hard time trusting that he knows better and that my plan is probably lame compared to his. Thank God he acts for my good anyway, even if my attention is divided!

Roaring Rapids of Anxiety

My stream of consciousness is a steady flow of thoughts, floating with the current like a fleet of boats. But when I experience anxiety, my calm stream of consciousness is suddenly a set of roaring rapids, my thoughts getting thrashed about in the treacherous water! What do I do?

My Anxious God

I have a constant internal voice asking me anxious questions. But what’s truly bizarre is how easily I put this internal dialogue into God’s mouth. Without realizing it, my own impossible, contradictory standards become sacred obligations.

Reading scripture (who is God really??)

I want more connection with God when I read the Bible, but sometimes the God I read about in the Bible doesn’t seem like the type of person I actually want to connect with at all!

I want more connection with Jesus!

So I should read more scripture right? At least that’s how I have often felt! I often notice myself thinking, “If only I was more consistent with my daily devotions!” or “Surely something is wrong with how I’m reading scripture, because I just don’t feel the presence of God enough!”
