Christian leadership should make people less dependent on you as the leader, not more.

You may think I am nuts.. but I spent 6.5 hours Friday trying to remove one stuck bolt. 🔩 If you’re frustrated because something in your life just isn’t changing, I wrote this for you as much as I did for myself. alexehly.substack.com/p/when…

A church can believe deeply in going to the nations while completely ignoring the mission field sitting in everyone’s pocket.

Desire can be dangerous. It can make surrender feel like loss and slavery feel like freedom.

Chronicles of leading an 8th grade boys small group… Forget vacations. Forget sports. Forget everything else. One boy’s summer highlight was 60 seconds holding hands with a girl he will never see again in his life on a roller coaster. 🎢

A reminder before school starts: Your kids are being formed this year. So are you. Every rushed morning, hard conversation, bad grade, and friendship drama will give you another chance to choose patience over control and grace over fear. God is raising more than just our kids

Many of us want God’s direction. Few of us want His interruption. But throughout Scripture, God rarely guides people without first disrupting the plans they were already making.

True discernment produces humility, not superiority.

Preparing a message on John 2 and Jesus turning water into wine… and I keep thinking about words I’ve heard @BenSasse repeat several times over the last few months: “There are no maverick molecules.” Nothing outside the sovereignty of God.

Not the celebration.
Not the shortage.
Not the chaos.
Not even the crushing. At Cana, Jesus takes what looks empty, embarrassing, and broken… and turns it into something better. I believe that’s still what the Kingdom does.

“Learning requires a humility that says, ‘I’m wrong about a lot, I’m ignorant about even more, and I get a chance to learn.’” - @BenSasse

Silence feels uncomfortable because distraction has discipled us. We’ve been trained to avoid stillness… and our souls feel it.

Same mistake, different hole. At some point you realize… that’s not bad luck, that’s a pattern. #themasters

You can read that putt all day, but if you don’t trust it, you’ll still miss it. That’s a lot like Scripture… knowing it isn’t the same as trusting it. #themasters
