Last year, I was a guest on the Building Excellence Podcast with Bailey Miles. Bailey asked me some great questions, including about coming to faith, how I got into ministry, and my experience of becoming a writer. We also talked about mentorship, stewardship, and how adversity affects our faith, as the role sports have played in my life.

Imagjino të jesh pjesë e një ekipi të NASA-s, i cili po përgatitet për një mision pesëvjeçar në Mars. Pas një periudhe stërvitjesh intensive, më në fund vjen dita e nisjes. Ndërsa raketa ngrihet në ajër, njëri prej astronautëve të pyet: “Çfarë di ti për Marsin?”

On Super Bowl Sunday, LifeNews.com posted about Seattle Seahawks LB Derick Hall, who was born at 23 weeks. Derick’s story reminds me of former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow, and how the doctors in the Philippines said he needed to be aborted or his mother would die. 

A thief on the cross asked Jesus to save him (Luke 23:40-43). He had nothing to offer Christ, no way to pay Him back. He could not make restitution or be baptized. He couldn’t give to the temple, care for the poor, tell people about Jesus, or take communion.

God intends us to love our animals—of course, not more than we love people—but still, that love is God-given. The pain of letting our pets go is great because God made them to be precious to us.

Verbeel jou jy is deel van ‘n NASA-span wat gereed maak vir ‘n vyfjaar-sending na Mars. Na ’n tyd van lang, intense opleiding breek die dag van lansering uiteindelik aan. Terwyl die vuurpyl opstyg, vra een van jou mede-ruimtevaarders, “Wat weet jy van Mars?”

One of the most arresting statements in Scripture is this one: “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28, ESV). The context of this passage shows that in the midst of a world that groans under suffering and evil, God’s main concern is conforming His children to the image of Christ.

Tokom više od četiri godine borbe moje voljene supruge Nanci s rakom, bilo je mnogo dobrih i mnogo loših trenutaka. Prolazili smo kroz vrtlog emocija tokom njene tri operacije, tri ciklusa zračenja i tri ciklusa hemoterapije.

In this clip from his message to a group of InterVarsity students at Harvard College, Randy discusses Jesus’s words in Matthew 6, about not to store up for ourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. He shares a real-life illustration of someone whose earthly treasure was literally eaten by moths.
