Surrendered Shepherds
Contributed on Jul 11, 2026
Before Jesus entrusted His disciples with the care of others, He first taught them to surrender themselves. Peter, James, and John remind us that the Good Shepherd forms surrendered shepherds.

The Continental Divide Of Calvary
Contributed on May 23, 2026
There are moments where pressure exposes what identity is carrying under the surface. In those moments, what feels like internal tension is often not confusion, but a revealing of what I have attached meaning to in what I do—and where I am looking for that meaning to come from.
The Continental Divide of Calvary There are situations where pressure surfaces the significance of identity in the moment—competitive environments, comparison spaces, moments where what I do begins to carry meaning about who I am. What is actually being tracked in the moment—the task, or what ...read more
