I’m on vacation in the Pacific Northwest, but got this email yesterday. I said I wouldn’t write blogs while I’m gone, but I guess it’s OK to let others write them for me. I got this email yesterday and my prayer is that it would give hope to others who are still trying [...]

I am blessed to be able to finally have a recording of the most important teaching I do around the world to help people sort out how to move from religious thinking about their life in God and learn to live relationally as he designed us to. Recently on a trip to Pennsylvania, [...]

The July 2006 issue of BodyLife has just been posted at the Lifestream website.
The lead article is called Reveling in the Freedom to Follow, and confronts the difference between observing Christianity and following Jesus as the most significant part of every day life. Jesus invited us to follow him and [...]

I’m a bit of a golf nut, so I’m excited about having some time to sit and watch the final round of the US Open today! Go Phil! Or, Padraig! Or, Monty! Or, Furyk! Should be lots of fun.

I listened to the “Are You a Christian?” podcast today and loved it. I was especially touched by your [...]

I received this today from a brother I’ve been corresponding with in Switzerland who is translating the Jake Colsen book, So You Don’t Want to Go To Church Anymore into French.
