Okay. So I guess I took a little longer than expected to write another blog, and for this I apologize. I’m sure you are all familiar with the concept of change. Sometimes change is good and other times it can be the worst experience ever. I experienced a lot of […]

“Healer” by David Goodman
Amazing how easy it is to pass judgment on the fallen. I thought that was something the world was enthralled with? Celebrity’s fall from the spotlight, public gaffes, embarrassment, divorce, infidelity, public intoxication… The world consumes failure like it’s chocolate. And then I thought about the church as a whole. […]
“We Are The Branches. He Is Divine.” by John DiBiase
It’s interesting to me how sometimes God can seem to remain so silent through times of adversity, and then just kind of hit you with a simple yet effective revelation that not only reminds you just how dense you can be, but it also tends to make you feel embarrassed […]
“Forget the Shift- Paradigms Need Breaking” by David Goodman
I don’t rightly know how it happened. For as long as I can remember, there has been a singular desire- one thing above and beyond all others to which I have devoted my prayer and attention. Purpose. Calling. Function. Pursuit. Mission. Whatever you’d call it. A vague picture in my […]
“Why Can’t They All Just Say It?” by Matt Johnson
Well, I anticipated doing another blog long before now, but this appears to be a busy Summer for me. After getting home from Creation I’ve been running. A whole month has passed already! That’s crazy. Last weekend I went to a local music fest that featured Seventh Day Slumber and […]
“When Your Heart Needs A Song…” by John DiBiase
It’s no secret that living the Christian life is difficult. Most of us experience dry spells and “why God?” moments in our lives — some more frequently than others — and we often find those times where God seems distant or altogether silent. I was thinking this afternoon about how […]
“Oh! Clarity.” by John DiBiase
As a guy who tends to need direction when it comes to venturing into the scriptures, I often default to laid-out devotionals for my quiet times with God (I’m a pretty indecisive person). However, the daily devotionals I use are rather lazy… lumping Saturday and Sunday into one thing known […]
“Confessions of a Fest-Going Youth Worker” by Matt Johnson
Well, I leave with my youth group for Creation on Tuesday. I just got done packing yesterday. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking, “Wow! Packed already?! He must be really excited.” I am pretty excited, but there’s a lot more to it than just that. You see, I’m packed, but the group? […]
“In the Days to Come, You’ll Understand” by J.M. Farro
Hey guys, this is J. M. Farro, JFH’s resident devotional author, for those of you who don’t know me. I’m a wife and mother to two (sometimes) grown-up kids, who have since flown the coop. I can’t quite say that my husband, Joe, and I are empty-nesters, though, since we […]
“Men who cook… are OK in my book!” by Karen M.
I love to cook and I love to eat. I love trying different kinds of foods, I actually love shopping most of the time, and I definitely love preparing new and interesting dishes in the kitchen. However, sadly I have not been blessed with a husband who feels the same […]
