20 Days of Believing God (Day 15) If you include resistance training as part of your exercise program, then you already know about the principle of “progressive overload.” To get stronger, you progressively increase the resistance you’re lifting. The muscle then responds by getting bigger, which means you get stronger. Our faith grows in the […]
20 Days of Believing God (Day 11) God is with us. Not far away. Not unconcerned. Not uncaring. God is with us. He’s not just the God of 2,000 years ago. He’s not just the God of the future. He’s the God of the here and now. He’s present with you. Right now. In this […]
20 Days of Believing God (Day 10) Yesterday, we looked at the wrong ways to wait on God. Today, let’s look at how to do it right. I knew a guy a number of years ago who was an ultra-marathon runner. Those are the 100-mile races. He and I got into a fitness discussion one […]

20 Days of Believing God (Day 4) Do you ever latch onto a thought, run with it, play it over and over in your mind…and work yourself into a fit of worry? Or do you ever have a vague sense of anxiety, but you’re not sure why? You just know something feels off. You’re worried […]
20 Days of Believing God (Day 3) I had an appointment one day to meet a friend for lunch. It turned out he forgot about the appointment, but it gave me a chance to talk with one of the servers I knew. As we talked, she told me about her son and how he’d turned […]
