Unifying Division (August 3, 2026)

Babel feels counterintuitive: if God wants to bring people into peaceful unity, doesn’t the consequence He applies to the tower building effort actually work against what He intends? Not necessarily.

Reciprocation of What? (July 20, 2026)

Maybe you had a childhood toy that took your voice and sent it back distorted and amplified. Small choices work the same way in Proverbs 3:34-35 — God reciprocates what we put out into the world, amplifying our foolishness so we see it clearly, or honoring our wisdom in ways that matter eternally.

The Real Dirt Jesus Came For (July 19, 2026)

Most of us know our own dirt isn’t the curated kind—and suspect it may be too much to clean up. In Matthew 9, Jesus walks past everyone with the polished-for-consumption sob story and stops at a tax collector’s booth, a man whose sin was public knowledge, and says simply, “Follow me.”

Be the Mouser God Made You

When we try to live by “Don’t Be Evil,” we find that we end up being evil in the end. There’s a better way.

What You Really Need: The Deeper Healing (July 12, 2026)

We scramble to fix what’s broken, certain we know the one restoration that matters most.

When we try to live by “Don’t Be Evil,” we find that we end up being evil in the end. There’s a better way.

Recognize and Respond (July 5, 2026)

We've all known someone's birthday was coming, kept it in the back of our minds, and then realized two weeks too late that we never said a word—recognized it, but never responded. In Matthew 8, the demons who meet Jesus call him “Son of God” with more clarity than almost anyone else in the Gospel, yet that recognition leads somewhere unexpected and deeply unsettling.

When Faith Gets the Yips (May 31, 2026)

Even as a Christian, you can feel the yips—that moment when shame from old sins creeps back in, making you wonder if you’re really free, if God’s forgiveness is truly yours. Romans 6:23 speaks directly into that weight: the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

You Gotta Serve Somebody (May 24, 2026)

We crave freedom, but Bob Dylan was right when he sang, “You Gotta Serve Somebody.” No matter how strong that craving, we’ll find ourselves serving either righteousness or unrighteousness.

Don't Break the New Software (May 17, 2026)

When the old broken software finally gives way to something that works, the last thing you'd do is press every button just to break the new one on purpose. Yet that same impulse faces us in the Christian life, and Paul confronts it head-on in Romans 6:14-15: since we are not under law but under grace, shall we sin?
