Welcome to
Minister Musings
Thoughts on following Jesus from our ministry staff…

Conquering the Promised Land
Moses was an exceptional man of faith who led the people of Israel out of their slavery in Egypt and guided them during their forty-year journey through the wilderness. But he was not the one to lead them across the Jordan into the Promised Land. Instead, that responsibility would fall on Joshua, the successor to Moses. Joshua was likely feeling nervous about the task that God gave him. Conquering the Promised Land wouldn’t be easy, and he wasn’t sure if the people would respect him as much as they respected Moses.

Don’t Be a Leader
The world is looking for great leaders, but Jesus is looking for great servants.

Trusting Jesus In a Wild World
We live in a wild world. It’s full of uncertainty, noise, and change. But Jesus doesn’t ask us to navigate it alone. He invites us to trust Him

“The Story of Our Salvation.”
Sometimes, when we study the Bible, it’s easy to lose sight of how each book or chapter connects to the larger story—God’s pursuit of a relationship with us and His work to rescue and restore a lost and broken world through the sacrifice of his son.

Fear and the Father
Fear may not always disappear right away, but God doesn’t leave us alone in it.

Hodi?
I confess that sometimes I treat Jesus like I would treat a window salesman, or a stranger at my door…I open up my doorbell app, see who it is, and promptly ignore Him. I wonder why we are so scared to let Jesus into our lives? What are we afraid that He will find if He comes in and sits down with us?

A Mother’s Day Blessing…
To every mom, grandma, aunt, foster mom, and spiritual mother: your love matters deeply. You’re doing holy work—even when it doesn’t feel like it.

A Window, a Mirror, and a Door
I’ve found it helpful to think about the Bible as a window, a mirror, and a door…

Facing the Furnace
In life, we all face our own “furnaces”—seasons of uncertainty, pain, or fear. In those moments, hope doesn’t mean ignoring the heat.

The Bridge
Easter celebrates one of the biggest bridges that has ever been built. It is the bridge between life and death. It is the bridge between unholy people and a holy God.

Every Crayon Brings Something Different To the Picture
Just like every crayon in the box brings something different to the picture, every person in the church brings something essential to the Kingdom.

What kind of sermon are you preaching?
When people see you at work, when your family interacts with you at home, or when you are engaging with people online, what kind of example are you setting?

Resting in the Busy-ness
No matter how heavy life’s burdens feel, Jesus invites us to lay them at His feet.

Who are your people?
We need community for a successful spiritual life…

Make the most of every opportunity
Inviting people to church can feel intimidating, but there’s some research out there that should give you some hope…

Let The Little Children Come…
As followers of Christ, we are called to reflect His heart by welcoming children, listening to them, including them, and nurturing their faith…
