Waylaid by God – and his good news for women
What do you do when the Lord answers what you had not asked? This is where it began, my journey with God into his view of women and the church.
Two globes in the Musee Hospice Comtesse, Lille, France, depict two worlds – the earth and the heavens.
Living in two worlds at the same time
Jesus died, rose and ascended so we can live in two worlds at the same time - the natural one we see physically, and the supernatural one we see by the Spirit.
So blinded for so long, I choose light
Even when people I love fight against it, I choose light. As I dare to go with God where fear, obligation and guilt forbid, I find hope and joy. I choose life.

“It is finished” – but how?
Raised above the heads of those who hated him, those who grieved for him and those who liked the show, how was he able to breathe? Breathing required pushing up on those pierced feet. Breathing required ramming splintered wood into his shredded back. Breathing required an unfathomable commitment to finish.
Have a Daniel heart
Throughout his life, Daniel continued to follow God, regardless who did or did not go with him. You too be blessed with a Daniel heart.
When Christian leaders omit the obvious
Even a cursory look at all levels of leadership in US churches, denominations, networks and ministries reveals that what should be foundational is often absent. Many leaders do not know how to follow God.
Yes, Lord, I do
Even though I cannot live out any commitment perfectly, I can set my heart toward it and use my voice to affirm it. And that matters. A lot.
Dance with me, O Lover of my soul
Learning to dance with God means being vulnerable, flexible, brave, as he frees us from the paralysis of the religious and teaches us to move in sync with him.
How do I tell you?
Shame that’s exposed hurts like hell. But only – only – when brought out into the light can shame be dealt with and sent away.
