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 […]
“Summer Soundtracks” by Lindsay Wiseman
So one of my favorite things about summer is driving down the interstate, windows down, and having a really great CD playing in the stereo and pouring out the windows for all the transporting world to hear. There is nothing quite like that. I sometimes believe it is the epitome of freedom that […]
“Hey, check this out!” by John ‘Flip’ Choquette
Hey what’s up? I wrote a blog about Tooth and Nail a few weeks ago, but it never went through. Apparently it’s because something was wrong with the blog system. Anyway, I just thought about it and realized I hadn’t shown the blog any love since then (and that doesn’t […]
