On Call
My friends and I don't keep a list of who owes who. One phone call is all it's ever taken - storm damage, truck trouble, whatever the need is. A reflection on 1 Corinthians 12:12-31.
Go Time
I walked into an engineering meeting the morning after an overnight failure. I was trying to figure out who owned the mistake. The team taught me what that really meant. A reflection on John 17:20-23.

It turns out that being a friend or a servant doesn't really depend on what we are actually doing. Something deeper makes the difference. A reflection on John 15:12–17.
Echoes of Home
In a transaction, we get exactly what we bargained for — no more, no less. God is bigger than a bargain. A reflection on John 14:18–24.
