Chapter 11: Love, Rest, and Play
Note: This is the eleventh in a series of letters written for those living at the end of the age, whenever that comes in the next fifteen years or the next one hundred and fifty years. Once complete, I’ll combine them into a book. You can access the previous chapters here. If you are... Read More
Featured Books: Finding Church and Beyond Sundays
With only a few weeks before the end of 2024, we continue on a guided tour through some of Wayne's books with a couple of his "church books": Finding Church and Beyond Sundays. Two for one!

For Such a King
This quote popped in my inbox this morning from The Plough, taken from an article by Kelsi Folsom: I am ignited with my own litany of longings: For a king whose miracles aren’t only for those who can afford them. For a king who will shut down hospitals because our healed bodies don’t need... Read More
Featured Book: A Man Like No Other
We continue on a guided tour through some of Wayne's books with one of his more unique books: A Man Like No Other. This is an illustrated life of Jesus, with paintings visualizing moments in the life of Jesus while Wayne, along with his friend, Brad Cummings, tell the stories of those images with... Read More
A Fresh Wave for He Loves Me
While I am sidelined with my recovery from back surgery and some chemo, God seems to be stirring something with my book He Loves Me. In the last week I've had numerous emails about this book. Some people are starting book studies with friends or doing podcasts about it. It's so much in one... Read More
Featured Book: So You Don't Want to go to Church Anymore?
We continue on a guided tour through some of Wayne's books with the book that first introduced me to Wayne Jacobsen. The "Jake Book", as it was then referred to, was released online chapter-by-chapter, and after catching up with what was already released I could not wait for the next one. What Jake was... Read More
I Will Miss You, Tony
Tony Campolo passed away last week, and though I'm a bit late, I want to acknowledge his powerful contribution to Christian thought around the world and to my own life personally. I never had the chance to meet him or hear him speak in person, but decades ago, his books and recordings challenged and... Read More
Featured Book: He Loves Me
As we approach the end of the calendar year we thought it would be good to highlight a few of Wayne's books available here through Lifestream, and we're offering a couple ways to save a little bit, too. Over the next few weeks we'll highlight a couple books per week, and offer bulk discounts... Read More
An Angel at My Door
If you haven’t heard the podcast from last week or read this blog, you may not appreciate all that's happening here. I’m currently battling bone cancer that destroyed vertebrae in my back, causing me to have surgery there. But yesterday, I think I caught an angel on my Ring camera. I had been battling... Read More
Featured Book: A Language of Healing for a Polarized Nation

How Do You Withdraw Love?
I'll provide a health update after I share this brief quote that crossed my computer this morning and stirred my heart. This is a more profound treasure in the mine of love. You cannot fairly hope in God's gracious love towards you in your brokenness if you also don't share it with those who... Read More
Taking Some Time to Heal
For all our best laid hopes and plans, it’s the things you don’t see coming that have the most profound impact in how life unfolds Sara and I have a few detours thrown our way over our lifetimes, which has helped us to live feely in the present and not too dismayed when times... Read More
Chapter 10: Only One Thing Matters
Note: This is the tenth in a series of letters written for those living at the end of the age, whenever that comes in the next fifteen years or the next one hundred and fifty years. Once complete, I’ll combine them into a book. You can access the previous chapters here. If you are... Read More
The Prayers of a Just Person
Most of you will be familiar with James 5:16, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” What springs to mind when you think of this Scripture? Doesn’t it seem that our sinlessness is a pre-condition to having an effective prayer life? But that doesn’t make any sense if the process of... Read More
Oops again!
I am really embarrassed to say that the God Journey After-Show we had scheduled with Tobie van der Westhuizen from South Africa next weekend has had to be delayed another week. He informed me yesterday that he had an irresolvable scheduling conflict that would prevent him from joining us that day. He was profoundly... Read More
Thank You, Thank You, and Oops!
I’ve got two quick things to update you on. First, we are so grateful for those who have responded to the need in Kenya to rescue the orphanage we built fifteen years ago. Torrential rains have caused the land to shift, and without your help, the government would have shut it down. In just... Read More
