Guys, C.S. Lewis is such a stud. He is a champion and a man among men when it comes to the Christian faith. And he had a great quote, “We are like ignorant children. Completely happy and content playing with mud pies in the dirt when we have no idea what an invitation to the beach at the sea would be like.” Jesus is inviting us to live incredible lives. We are called to be fully alive.
In the first reading today, Abram is called by God to leave everything behind because God is calling Abram to follow Him. And so Abram does. He trusts the Lord, and he gives everything up. And now he is the Father among nations. He didn’t know what would happen, but he trusted his Father in heaven. And so, in the same way, we are called to trust the Father in our lives, especially this Sunday and throughout this week. Leave your mud pies behind. Follow God in your life. It will be an adventure.

It’s God literally becoming flesh, becoming one of us, so that we can love Him, we can know Him, and we can live with Him forever. There is no greater love…

The Narrow Gate
I just got back from an incredible camping trip in Montana. One thing that was so amazing about this trip is that in order to go to this camping site, we had to go into this narrow valley. And in this narrow valley, we couldn’t use our phones at all and we knew that. We were willing to give up our phones, our social media, everything…

You Belong With Him
The Gospel for this Sunday is so awesome. The disciples are asking, Jesus, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” And I think we can live that way so often that we are not looking for Jesus, but we are looking for something else or someone else. And I think the solution to this problem is Taylor Swift…
