Stop Worrying and Start Receiving

Do you lay in bed late at night, wishing you could fall asleep but you’re struggling to put your mind at ease? You worrying about life so much that you can’t stop to get the sleep your body and soul so desperately need. And it’s not because you’re wrestling with these questions: How’s my soul?

20+C+M+B+25: An Epiphany – Boundless

Tomorrow my friend Lynn and I will break open a box of chalk and take a walking, chalking tour of our neighborhood. On doors of folks we know and love, we will inscribe the following message: 20+C+M+B+25. What does this strange equation mean? Simply that the three wise men — Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar —

Why D-Day Still Matters – Boundless

It’s been 81 years since American troops and soldiers of the Allied Expeditionary Force descended upon the coast of France in an unprecedented military operation to wrest control of Europe back from the Nazis. Known forevermore as “D-Day,” the June 6, 1944 operation was codenamed “Operation Overlord” and included over 5,000 ships and more than

The Needy Outside My Window

All of a sudden, all I wanted to do was sit down. It wasn’t a physical punch in the gut, but it was enough — enough for me to turn my hairdryer off, lay it down on the bathroom counter, take a step back and sit down on the edge of the tub. I had

Mission USA – Boundless

The rough attic room hovered close around us as we gathered in near darkness. It was cold above the machine shop, so we kept our coats zipped and hats on. We bowed our heads in prayer, remembering those who met in hiding out of necessity. We did it out of choice, leaving the comfort of

Designer Church – Boundless

I walk into the sanctuary, scanning the room for the 20- somethings I know. A group of about 30 of us sit on the left- hand side halfway back. I slide comfortably into a padded chair, located within a three-row radius of where I always sit, and chirp hello to acquaintances seated nearby. Worship has

Love the Church – Boundless

You could see the passion in her eyes. For the first time in her life she really felt like she was doing what God wanted for her. She had found her calling in life, and it gave her renewed excitement in her walk with Jesus. To use the overused cliché, she was on fire. You

What to Do With Church Hurt

Church isn’t always easy. Conflict happens, and the community that once felt like home can suddenly feel confusing, frustrating, or even hurtful. Maybe a decision from leadership didn’t sit right. Perhaps a comment from another member stung. Or maybe, despite showing up week after week, you feel unseen and disconnected. It’s tempting to slip out

All Work Is God’s Work

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” It’s an honest question. One you have probably been asked numerous times in your life. For me, I wanted a lot of things out of life. I wanted to be a fighter pilot or a teacher or a doctor or a singer or an Olympic

A New Way to Work

Do you remember a few years back when the public was asked to name a new British research vessel? An online poll was taken, and the winning name, with 124,109 votes, was Boaty McBoatface. But the powers that be couldn’t abide their $287-million-dollar ship having such a ridiculous name, so the will of the people
