WWJT
WWJD shaped a generation—but what if lasting change begins even deeper? Before we do what Jesus did, we must learn to think as Jesus thought.

You Have an Accent
What if the way you speak says more than your words ever could? Peter’s accent revealed he had been with Jesus. Does yours?

The Gaming Temptation
Jesus was offered the world—and said no. Not just to power but to a system built on control, fear, and winning at all costs. He came to start something completely different: A kingdom in which love—not power—rules.

Not Just a Matter of Time
Aging has a way of stripping life down to its essentials. It makes you ask: What really matters? Not the “extras” of faith, but the core: trusting and hoping in God and loving others. Maybe it’s time to get back to the basics.

Better Prompts and Faster Answers
Prayer is often treated like a search engine: ask the right question, get the right answer. But God gives good gifts, not because we phrase our requests perfectly, but because He is a good Father.

Keep Keeping On
A lone swimmer. A roaring crowd. A finish that felt like a miracle. Eric Moussambani’s story reminds us that in our spiritual race, we’re never alone.

There’s something about being in the presence of power that changes how we act. But what if God’s hiddenness is intentional—not to scare us, but to help us grow?

Where’s Waldo?
We all play our own game of Where’s Waldo?—except we’re the ones hiding. Jesus is searching, not to expose us, but to heal us.

He Likes Us, Too . . .
God’s love isn’t just duty—it’s delight. In Jesus, He shows us He really does like us, too.

Nontraditional Traditions
How many times does it take for something to become a tradition? At Hope Camp, it was just five. But Jesus reminds us that not all traditions should be preserved—some need to be replaced entirely. New wine needs new wineskins. In this Transitions column Chantal Klingbeil suggests that maybe it’s time to let go of old habits and make space for the fresh, transforming work of God.
