Recently, quite a few friends have asked me how I’m keeping up with all Steve and I are doing. I have been touched by this question and warmed by the concern from others. Steve and I love what we’re doing! We love ministering to our teams. We love traveling around the world. We love speaking.…

Each of us has had dreams that have died. In the aftermath, you’ve probably wondered, “Where is God? And can He resurrect this mess?” You’re not alone! Every believer I know has faced a crisis that has rocked their faith at one time or another. Mary Magdalene must have wondered where God was as she…

Cranky. Yup. I was cranky! We were flying home from Abu Dhabi. The 15-hour-long flight was packed, so Steve and I couldn’t get seats together. Thankfully, I was able to get an aisle seat (I’m a bit claustrophobic). The flight was progressing well until the man next to me fell asleep and spread out to…

There was a critical time in my life when I experienced a crisis of faith. Honestly, I wasn’t sure anything made sense any more. Each of our faith-journeys is a trek of ups and downs. We journey through seasons of bold faith and crippling doubt. The truth is, most of us at one season or…

Your words are powerful! What you speak out loud often becomes cemented in your mind. That’s why it’s so important to speak the right words out loud! The wise writer of Proverbs wrote, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Prov. 18:21a). Wow! When you think about that statement and mull it…

Recently, Steve and I were in Thailand leading a deeper-life retreat with our Asia Pacific team. One afternoon, I sat out on the back deck, surrounded by tropical beauty, sipping coffee and reflecting with a friend on our ministry lives. Paula shared with me the story of how she and her husband Ty left their…

Recently, Steve and I were on a ship in the Atlantic Ocean participating in a radio summit cruise. When the ship first began to move out into the ocean, I began to feel a bit light-headed and dizzy. But I figured if I ignored the dizziness, surely it would go away! The only problem was…

I have become more and more aware that we are in a battle and that our enemy wants to kill, steal and destroy. But here’s the encouraging thing: Jesus Christ is on our side, and He wants victory in our lives. As the apostle John wrote, “He who is in you is greater than he…

Recently, I drove up to Denver very early in the morning while it was still dark. I’m not a fan of driving in the dark. I’m blind in my left eye, which means my depth perception is less than ideal, and the darkness exacerbates that problem. The great thing is that the headlights on my…

Between Christmas and New Year’s Day, I always take a day of prayer and personal reflection with the Lord. During that day, I seek the Lord for His desires for me in the New Year. This year, the phrase that He spoke to me was “bold faith.” The story told in Mark about the friends…

Happy New Year, Dear Friends!  As you move into 2018, why not make your goal to prioritize spending time in God’s Word? The psalmist wrote that the person who “mediates” on God’s Word day and night is like a “tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season; its…

Christmas can feel a touch overwhelming, can’t it? You might be scrambling to get last-minute gifts, or preparing food for company coming from out of town, all the while trying to keep up with work demands. When Christmas finally comes, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and exhausted by the chaos. Mary and Joseph had a…

While I’ll be the first to say, “Never underestimate the power of a great pedicure,” that’s not what I’m talking about here. The prophet Isaiah wrote, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings good news of happiness, who proclaims salvation” (Isa. 52:7). I love…

Christmas is hands-down my favorite time of the year! I’ve been known to begin shopping in August, listen to Christmas music in October, get the decorations out in November … Steve thinks I’m a little nuts. But that’s OK! Even though I love Christmas, it can be easy to lose my sense of wonder. What…

“Hi, baby Jesus, I brought you gold, frankincense and worms!” That was my favorite line this past weekend, as my grandkids put on a play to act out the Christmas story in their “cousins production.” What a joy-filled weekend we had as a family! As we head into the thick of the holiday season, and…
