    I talk a lot about “turning the world UPSIDE down.” It’s something that I believe in. It’s something that I truly believe God has called us to do. It’s something that seems so irrational and bold, but really only requires us living out the life God’s called us to. It requires God living through us.…

    When I was still living at home, my parents decided to remodel their kitchen. They decided that they really liked tile floors and called the tile man. I still remember how careful the tile guy was to be sure that he was laying the tile on a smooth surface. Every few minutes, I’d see him…

    We all have at least one. We rarely talk about them. We spend the majority of our time trying to hide them from others that have the same one. Insecurities. What I’m insecure about may not be what you’re insecure about. What I’m insecure about in myself may never be noticed by you. But we…
