Titus describes a model of more mature believers coming alongside younger believers to show them the ropes. Yet, today few young men have older men pouring into them on any level. How can this missing form of discipleship be reclaimed?
It can feel like a great canyon divides generations that can’t be crossed, with “Millennials” and “Gen Zs” on one side and “Boomers” on the other. But the canyon is a myth. We all yearn for one thing and that can become the bridge.
We can’t love God with intensity because we are good or strong. We love God because He reached His loving hand down into the slough of human progress and pain to capture our souls through the grace of Christ.
The most scrutinized and authenticated, scientifically and academically studied, carefully documented and transmitted piece of literature in history happens to make the internal claim to be the written word of God. WHAT IF IT’S TRUE?
We are bombarded with crises, information, and questions. Because of this, we feel compelled to take a side or have an opinion. Yet we rarely stop to consider whether the issue is something that God’s calling us to engage—or if He is, how.

For a lot of men, there are few terms as confusing or intimidating as when we’re told to be a “spiritual leader.” What does it even mean or look like on a daily basis? We want to demystify this concept so that you can start leading today!
As Christians, we share the same, one-size-fits-all goal: to abide in Christ, to love others as Christ loved us, and to bear fruit. So why do so many of us feel stuck right now? And could there also be a one-size-fits-all solution?
Too often, we allow the pressure to produce a certain outcome keep us from initiating spiritual conversations. But my definition of evangelism is simply taking someone as far as they want to go toward Jesus at that moment.
