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.

Unstoppable Light

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.
Revelation 13 - Seduction, Symbols, and Self-Destruction
To listen to the full unabridged audio you can listen here: Seduction, Symbols, and Self-Destruction
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.

Some days are better than other days. This is one of those some days.
“The churches are disappointing, even for most believers. If Christ brings us new life, it is all the more remarkable that the church, the bearer of this good news, should be among the most dispirited institutions of the age. The alternatives to the institutional churches are even more grossly disappointing, from TV evangelists with their blown-dry hairdos to California cults led by prosperous gurus ignored in India but embraced in La Jolla.”
