Comfort
Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! I am. Don’t be afraid.” (Matthew 14: 26-27) Jesus didn’t play it safe, and He didn’t seclude […]

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8) The guy at the retreat answered a question about fear in a brutally honest manner. “I’m afraid if I really listen to God, He might tell me to do […]

PLEASE DON’T HELP! Suppose you noticed someone in obvious distress holding this sign. What would you do? WWJD? Monte’s official title is “service dog,” though many folks call him a “helper dog.” I don’t think the difference is one of semantics. Serving is different than helping.

Once in a while it’s good to remember why we do what we do. The whole point of BOUNCING BACK is to form a circle of folks who want to discuss what it looks like to live life on purpose as followers of Jesus. One of my big goals is to invite you into the […]

People occasionally ask how we chose the social justice organizations we partner with for RICH’S RIDE. Honestly, we simply identified causes we’re passionate about and organizations we trust. We absolutely love the people and the work accomplished by Convoy of Hope. There’s something especially unfair about a hungry child. We’re honored to partner with this organization […]

We’re home. Front Range FREEDOM Tour is finished. The tour was much more than I imagined. It’s hard to believe a week could pass so quickly, accomplish so much, and leave me so drained. Our team truly left it all on the road. Normally I’d feel guilty about all that didn’t get done. I couldn’t […]

Recently a project got me digging in the depths of the Bouncing Back archives. It’s dusty in there! Hard to believe I’ve accumulated more than 1,000 posts in nearly five years, and that doesn’t include the stuff over at RICH’S RIDE. As I looked through those old articles it seemed there might be some ideas […]
