Talking Big, Then Going Home
The anecdotal saying is true: don’t talk the talk if you can’t walk the walk. Actions speak louder than words in most situations. How do your actions as a Christian Responder reflect what you say?

The Finish Line
Nice guys don’t finish last, they never finish.
The Sacrifice Called Forgiveness
Forgiveness is what Pope John Paull II did in 1981 AD and it is what Christ did in 33 AD. It’s something all try to do, but many seem to forget. And ultimately, forgiveness must be paid, but who pays it makes all the difference.
Personal Resolution or Public Retribution?
We are called to seek resolution and not retribution for those who harm us. Turns out, God made a process for this.
Don’t Drop The Cross!
As Christian Responders, we face challenging situations. To make matters worse, we also are faced with challenging people, as well. Emotionally taxing as it is, don’t let ugly situations and over the top emotions from others force you to drop the cross!

Christ’s whole point of addressing His Disciples wasn’t to find out what others had to say about Him; He already knew that. No, the real question was much more personal: “who do you say that I am?”

A Pebble for Your Fears?
Matthew 14:22-36 Reflect on this Scripture alone or with a small group. When I was in 7th grade, I remember coming home from a youth gathering with my confirmation class. The weather was horrid, and the Iowa National Weather Service made the Top 10 list on the radio. We were terrified of the storm encompassing […]
You Can’t Feed People With an Empty Basket
This week we look at Matthew 14:13-21 and how Jesus feed a crowd of 5,000 with the help of His Disciples. How could the Disciples have handed out food without the miracle Christ provides?
The Faith of The Bleeding Woman
Instead of a standard weekly devotional, I decided to share my testimony this week. For those of you out there looking for signs that God exists and that He cares, I encourage you to read this.
