As I write this letter, I’m enroute to Iona, Scotland for a spiritual pilgrimage and silent retreat.

Road Trip VBS was a spectacular success! The children and the volunteers brought incredible energy, excitement, and joy to every aspect of our week together.

Dear Friends,

I truly believe in the power of prayer. Whether I’m praying for someone else or for myself, I have confidence that God will answer in the perfect way. It may not always be the answer I want, but I trust, as we read in Matthew 7:9–11, that it will be just what I need.

Dear Friends,

On Palm Sunday, two kingdoms crash violently into one another. One is the kingdom of earthly power: that might-makes-right, survival-of-the-fittest dominance that pushes others down to get ahead. The other is God’s kingdom: the way of unwavering, self-giving love that willingly lays down power to lift others up.
