Growing up in Carolinas, I thought dark winters were rough, but Boston takes it up a notch. On December 21, we’ll get 15 hours of darkness and only 9 hours of daylight.  Read More

Happily ever after. That’s a phrase that feels completely unrealistic. It belongs in fairy tales and Disney movies, but not in the real world. Life is too hard, we’ve become too cynical, and we’ve seen far too many people walk through life without anything close to a “happily ever after.”  Read More

This week in our Community Group, we read Ephesians 1, and verse 22 stopped me in my tracks. In a passage describing God’s eternal purposes and Christ’s supreme authority, Paul writes:  Read More

This program helps lower-income families put food on their tables. You may not realize it, but you have neighbors who are panicking today because they don’t know how they’re going to feed their families this month.Much of this situation is political, and I don’...  Read More

I don’t know what your experience with model rockets is, but my childhood was filled with them. It was one of my dad’s favorite hobbies growing up, and like any good dad, he wanted to pass that love down to us. So, we built rockets together.  Read More

“Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit.” This is a line from the song HeavyDirtySoul by the Grammy award-winning duo 21 Pilots (a Christian group, btw, if you didn’t know). The song is a contemplation about the shortness of life. As he gets older, he hears people tell him that you only live once. So he should just live it up. But Tyler, the lead singer, isn’t so worried about living life to the fullest now, because he can’t help but think about what comes after death. He prays, “Can you save my heavy, dirty soul... from me?”  Read More

When we hear about gods born on earth, we might think of myths like Hercules, Achilles, or even Marvel’s Peter Quill. These are half-god, half-human hybrids, typically referred to as demigods.

This summer saw the release of one of the best superhero movies of the past decade: Superman. If you didn’t see it, I get it. There have been a lot of superhero movies over the past 20 years. That said, I’ve seen most of them, and Superman is one of the good ones.  Read More

Let me introduce you to a Christian artist whose music captured this core truth of Christian faith: our beliefs shape who we are. Rich Mullins, a Christian since childhood, grew up playing and singing hymns. Influenced by the Beatles, he learned the power of music and became one of the most influential Christian artists of the '80s and '90s. Though his songs are bona fide oldies at this point, listening to his work can still challenge and deepen your faith.  Read More
