Are You a Christian Hipster?
Take the quiz to find out.
I scored an 80/120 on my hipster quotient. Here’s how the quiz described me. Not sure how to feel about it.
High CHQ. You are a pretty progressive, stylish, hipster-leaning Christian, even while you could easily feel at home in a decidedly un-hip non-denominational church. You are conservative on some issues and liberal on others, and sometimes you grow...

Grandeur of God
I highly recommend a slow reading of Psalm 104. Savor it and get a glimpse at the grandeur of God.
Psalm 104 Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent. He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters; he makes the clouds his chariot; he rides on...

Disturb Us, Lord
Prayer of Sir Francis Drake (1577):
Disturb us, Lord, when We are too pleased with ourselves, When our dreams have come true Because we dreamed too little, When we arrived safely Because we sailed too close to the shore. Disturb us, Lord, when with the abundance of things we possess We have lost our thirst For the waters of life; Having fallen in love with life, We have ceased to dream...

Central Characters & Supporting Casts
Most of us live as if we’re the central character and everyone else is our supporting cast. I wonder what would happen if we viewed ourselves as supporting cast to everyone else?

Relationship Cracks
Ever had a pebble chip your windshield?
If you have, then you know that the first thing you do is get it repaired.
If you don’t, that small chip will turn into a big crack.
I’m guessing there are relationships in your life right now that have a small chip.
This leaves you with two options:
1) Ignore it (and hope it just goes away)
2) Take care of it (and don’t take your chances)
If you...

My Encounter with Brock Lesnar
Several years ago, I was wrestling with what to do with my life. I had this nagging sense that God was calling me to something, I just didn’t know what. It seemed so many around me knew exactly what to do with their lives. And here I was-full of passion yet lacking direction. I was at a crossroads.
It was frustrating.
On a summer weekend during that time, I went to the grocery store to pick up...
