All Reflections

Prove It

Thomas gets a bit of a raw deal. He is known as the doubter — but go back to what he said when the disciples were about to walk back into danger. A reflection on John 20:24–29.

40 Seconds

I run professional fireworks shows. During one of them, I had to hold a young crew member back from the front of the field. He didn't understand why — until forty seconds later. A reflection on 1 Peter 5:1–11.

Boat Potatoes

I struggle every morning to take the first step out of bed. It turns out Peter had the same problem — just with much higher stakes. A reflection on Matthew 14:22–33.

Finding the Forest

There are two ways to answer the question of who Jesus is. The best answer doesn't come from a book. A reflection on Matthew 16:13–19.

The Last Drop

Every year I put on a fundraiser for homeless veterans. When it is over I am completely spent. I have found that not all exhaustion feels the same. A reflection on 2 Timothy 4:6–8.

Call Your Shot

I am not a good pool player. But I have played with people who are masters — and the difference between us becomes clear the moment someone calls their shot. A reflection on Isaiah 40:3–5.
