A Call for Vulnerability, Part 1 of 3
Have you ever caught yourself in a moment of utter despair, pain, and loss? What did you do to pull through?

Why Productivity Isn’t Everything
When’s the last time you went outside, laid on the grass, and just like, watched the clouds roll by?
Before this morning, I don’t think I’ve done that since I was a kid. Because who has time to just lay down and look up at the sky? There’s a million and one other things to be done.

“Your ordinary contact with God takes place where your fellow men, your yearnings, your work and your affections are. There you have your daily encounter with Christ.

The fact that these kinds of conversations weigh on us proves to me just how much value we humans place on communication.
