Today’s God Showed Up is one I heard from Francis Chan, a dynamic Chinese-American pastor from California. Francis is serious about God and heartbroken about the state of the church in America.

40:40 Day 2
Happy Tuesday! In case you missed yesterday’s post, I’m committing to 40 days of remembering God’s faithfulness to bolster my faith, and 40 days of prayer, knowing God can do all that we pray for and more according to His will if we only have the faith to ask! Today’s GSU (God Showed Up) Story:…
A Tale of Two Ann’s
I heard this true story on the local Christian radio station last night on the way home from work: Ann was out running an errand and came across a lady on the side of the road with a flat tire. She pulled over to help and changed the lady’s tire for her, refusing the money the…
Quail Burgers
When the ancient Israelites were wandering around in the desert for, oh, about forty years, they began to complain and say that they missed the good food they’d had back in Egypt.

Life On My Knees
We stood there in the gym of Clark Springs Elementary, rows of metal folding chairs lined up behind us as brothers and sisters from every walk of life sang in unison. Worship was always inspiring at Aletheia Richmond, and the Spirit of God was undeniably in our midst as Erin and Keilan led a in…
It’s Just a Freaking Tuesday
A misogynistic clown with dementia and a suspciously peppy con artist in a red pantsuit walk into a bar.. What’s the joke? This election. The thought of Trump behind even podium as president is terrifying, let alone behind the desk in the Oval Office. The man is a freak show. He pretended to get saved…
Don’t Be Stupid
The devil is a beautiful woman. Can you imagine being invited into a filthy living room with cracked out junkies gathered around a bag of heroin? Would you take a seat on a frayed couch next to a couple dead bodies and be ready to party? No. You would gather with the beautiful people, though,…
