How wild would it be if someone handed you a million dollars to invest, but you buried it instead? How silly would it be if you took a bucketful of seeds for the garden, but decided to see how they would flourish in the [...]
Perspective is a funny thing. Nothing about us changes, but it changes us. My husband and three other pastors from Life.Church joined one of our global mission partners, Samaritan’s Purse, on a trip over the big pond and into the [...]
I ran into a parked car today. Well, it wasn’t quite as bad as that sounds. I accidentally tagged an SUV (hello white Lexus) while pulling into a parking spot at the gym this morning. Oops. I felt an unusual [...]
I brushed a plastic dinosaur’s teeth last night—with an electric toothbrush. I woke up to Captain America heroically leaping into my REM cycle at 5:17am.

Since this is the first official week of summer—and since it’s already a million degrees outside—I thought I’d share some of our kid-friendly, family-friendly, and human-friendly goals for the summer. I use that word loosely, as we’ve been throwing out anything exceptionally [...]
