Come Alive with Jesus, a beautiful new journal produced by Jesse and Kara Birkey, is now available here.
You know, I always thought open letters were a little strange. Do we really expect the intended recipient to read them? What is the angle when they are written? Is it a play for some kind of mass publicity? I don’t know. What I do know is that I recently watched a short video on the music industry. The feature artist was Katy Perry.

Reminder: We want to hear your stories!! You don’t have to be a writer, author, or anything like that to share a testimony.

I love seeing the light switch on as we discover that the extraordinary life of Jesus isn’t just for pastors, ministry leaders, and so on. It’s for me and you and your neighbor. It was this passion that led me to write Life Resurrected, and it’s been such a joy hearing amazing testimonies come in from other
I shifted in my hard chair and listened to the hum of the air conditioner blowing sweet relief through the auditorium. The speaker was a kind man, smart, with a heart full of love. But he’d just said something that made me cringe.
