Nobody Is Above Serving Others
Jesus didn’t come to be served but to serve — and he calls us to do the same. No title, platform or gifting exempts anyone from the call to serve.
What is Your ‘Christian Witness’?
Your life speaks louder than your words. Your Christian witness is about living with Christ so clearly that your kindness, humility and Spirit-shaped character actually point people to him.
The Right Way Around
We all want to get better. But lasting change rarely comes through self-effort alone. The road that works — the only one that really heals — is the one that starts with humility and leads straight to Jesus. It’s where weakness isn’t a liability but the beginning of strength. Don’t wait until you’ve tried everything else. Start with the only way that actually works: the right way around.
What if You Don’t Need a Net?
I don’t know what to hold onto.
Long ago, in grad school, a friend shared how taking risks and setting out on any adventure where you don’t see the outcome is like being out on a trapeze, swinging through the air, with no net beneath you. She described the feeling of the air against her face as she let go–and her body, tethered to nothing, stretching out to be caught by hands stronger than her own.
I am stretching out. I am untethered. I have let go.
Why Get To Know Thomas Aquinas?
Why get to know Thomas Aquinas? Because he shows us how to seek truth with humility. Aquinas didn’t settle for easy answers or shy away from ideas outside his tradition. Instead, he wrestled with them, learning from Jewish, Muslim and classical thinkers along the way. His life and work remind us that wisdom grows when we approach both faith and reason with curiosity and an open heart.
The Struggle Between The Kingdoms Of Empire and Peace
Jesus stood before Pilate and declared a kingdom unlike any other — a kingdom not of this world. Where empires conquer and dominate, his kingdom calls for love, humility and mercy. Yet throughout history, the kingdom of heaven has been mistaken for the kingdom of empire, blurring lines and betraying its radical nature. The question remains: can we live by Jesus’ kingdom today, knowing it may cost us everything?
The Advent of Humility
Humility was at the heart of Jesus’ life, and it’s the foundation of true Christian faith. But humility isn’t something we achieve by effort — it grows only as a byproduct of marveling at God’s grace. The gospel frees us from self-focus, replacing pride with self-forgetfulness. In a culture bent on proving itself, the quiet strength of humility points us back to the life Christ calls us to live.
‘Rings Of Power’ Season 2: Dramatic Finale Offers Up A Mixed Triumph
The finale of "Rings of Power" Season 2 delivers a mix of triumph and missteps, offering a more faithful take on Tolkien’s world while still wrestling with some awkward writing and plot contrivances. Sauron’s manipulations intensify, Galadriel’s growth in humility takes center stage, and the humanization of orcs adds new layers. For fans of rich storytelling despite imperfections, this finale delivers plenty to unpack.
Goldfish and The Role of Prayer
Prayer is more than a ritual; it's a lifeline, connecting us to a God who already knows us inside out. No matter where we are or what’s going on, He sees us — like goldfish in a bowl, with nowhere to hide. Prayer isn't about being good at it; it's about humility, honesty and aligning our hearts with God's. So why do we often hold back from talking to the One who’s always listening?
The More You See of Jesus, The More You Become Like Jesus
The Holy Spirit is seeking to project an endless reel of the glory of Jesus onto our hearts so that we live for him in the increasing complexity and mess of life.
Just How Little We Know
Whether you’re religious or nonreligious, educated or untutored, smart as a whip or dumb as a crate of gravel, the universe of things you don’t know dwarfs the pitiful dollhouse of things you do. The mistakes you’ve made outnumber the correct conclusions you’ve reached. You realize you’re a cipher floating on a dust mote swirling in an infinite darkness. Humility should be your natural state.
Humility: The Practice of Radical Trust
Humility will come to us all. ... But there are two paths to humility. The first is to humble yourself. It’s the decision to wake up to your reality, to say to God, 'I don’t know why this is the way it is, and I don’t know when it will end, but I trust You. I want to serve You. I will humble myself to show up today with joy and obedience and a heart to serve others.' The other way is to be humbled.
Offering Kindness In The Face of Misinformation
How do we make decisions that are good for ourselves and for our communities when conspiracy theories, doctored images, and false claims pervade the news and information we consume?
