“What we do in secret determines the soundness of who we are in public. Prayer is the secret work that develops a life that is thoroughly authentic and deeply human.”

“Prayer is the act in which we approach God as living person, a thou to whom we speak, not an it that we talk about.” — Eugene Peterson, Run With Horses

A ball field on a beautiful night is one of my happy places.

Acts 9:32-43 // Show Up!

Join us as we continue our study of Acts. This week we take a look at a small passage that in some ways feels insignificant. Perhaps it's more significant than we think?


Originally recorded at Peace Presbyterian Church in Flint, MI.

What a beautiful day to spend on the patio of my favorite Flint Area Coffee Shop, The Station!

I rolled into one of my favortie mite coffee shops today, The Station (in Flushing, MI), and it is hopping! There’s just something life giving about being in a place where are there conversations, laughter, and the gentle hum of life.

These days there’s so much real life, in person, doing all the things that I have struggled to create a rhythm to write and create.

One of my goals this week is to block time to create and publish.

Spending time at my favorite Flint area coffee shop today, The Station Coffee Co! If you’re around the area and want to connect, hit me up.

I really need to be productive today. So, I’m starting with this list:

  1. Gym
  2. Emails and other communication
  3. Lunch
  4. Reading/studying
  5. Chorin’

Reward: Bowling with the fellas!

I’ve been preaching at a quaint little Presbyterian Church in Flint the last few years as pulpit supply. I finally started recording and uploading the sermons. If that’s something you’re interested in, you can check them out here: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/…
