Is Your God Too Small for Your Life?

Dear Roger & Friends, How am I supposed to relate to a God I can't fully explain? I feel like my confusion gets in the way of my faith. Sincerely, Jamie Hi Jamie, That question lingers like a stone in your shoe—the kind you can't ignore, no matter how much you want to, because it gets right to the heart of something we all experience. It takes me back to a morning years ago on the Oregon coast with my kids. I remember the cool, damp air and the sand between my toes as I watched them play....

Is Your God Too Small? Embracing the Mystery of the Trinity

I have a vivid memory from a few years ago that remains etched in my heart. We were on one of our frequent family getaways to the Oregon Coast, the air thick with that familiar, salty mist. I watched from the beach as my children raced across the cool, damp sand toward the Pacific, clutching their bright plastic buckets. Their mission was as simple as it was ambitious: put the ocean in their bucket! With all the fierce determination only a child can muster, they plunged their buckets into the...

Proverbs 20:29 from the New Living Translation beautifully encapsulates this ethos, "The glory of the young is their strength; the gray hair of experience is the splendor of the old."

Holiday Ministries: More Than Just Attendance

The holiday season is upon us, and as church leaders, we need to remember the true meaning of ministry during this time. It can be easy to get caught up in the busyness of planning events and services to attract more people to attend our church, and we should.

Ministry Calling: Managing the Highs and Lows

As a young teenager, I had recently become a follower of Jesus. One day, my family took me to a revival meeting at a small church in Springfield, Ohio.

From that moment on, I began to pursue that calling with all my heart. I have fulfilled my calling through various ministry positions and serve as a local church...
