We often overcomplicate evangelism, thinking we need a PhD in theology or a flawless sales pitch. But John’s Gospel shows us a different way: we aren’t called to be the sun—just the moon reflecting its light. 🌙✨
Stop trying to be the center of the story and simply share what you’ve seen.

We are diving into the Gospel of John, specifically looking at the prologue in John 1:6–9 and verse 15.
To understand where we are, it helps to look at how the Gospel of John is structured. It can be broken down into four distinct parts:
The Light Dawning (The Prologue)
The Signs of Life (The Book of Signs)
The Glory of the Cross 4. God’s People Restored for Mission (The Epilogue)
As we look at the prologue, we are introduced to a central figure who sets the stage for Jesus’s ministry: John the Baptist.

The #OldGal continues on her heater! I think it’s because she has had a lot of grandkid time with Ethan and Libby home.

It is an absolutely perfect Michigan day. This coffee shop, Cafe Brûlée in Swartz Creek has a wonderful patio space to sit and read and think.
Moving from Amos to start a massive 20-week journey through the Gospel of John!
We’re diving into John 1:1-5 to see why we must stop domesticating Jesus, why discipleship is face-to-face, and how His light is completely unstoppable.

After working our way through the gritty, prophetic text of Amos, we are shifting gears to embark on a new 20-week journey through the Gospel of John.
If you are expecting something light, easy, and straightforward… I apologize in advance. The Gospel of John is a magnificent, profound piece of literature. It is arguably the height of the literature found in Holy Scripture, and it operates very differently from the other accounts of Jesus’ life.

We are heading into the home stretch of Revelation, and things are getting, well… wild. Chapter 17 drops us right into a vision filled with monsters, cosmic entities, and graphic imagery that definitely wouldn’t clear censorship for a kids’ bedtime story.
If you’ve ever felt a bit shocked or confused reading this section, you’re in good company. But behind the jarring descriptions is a profound message about power, corruption, and how the people of God are called to live in a compromised world.
I love sitting in the coffee shop and hearing the conversations that are taking place. There is a deep longing for connection. I am grateful for third spaces that allow for some of that connection to take place.
