    Last week, in anticipation of COP 30 , my wife and I were invited to talk about climate change at our house church. This has been a topic close to my heart for many years now, but I had never talked publicly about it before. So, I was excited to share. I also wanted to share some of those same thoughts here. I hope you find it impactful. If you don’t accept climate change, this post doesn’t seek t

    A few years ago I came across Steph Ango’s 40 Questions to ask Yourself Every Year . Since then, I’ve made it a practice in the last week of the year to work through those questions in my Bullet Journal. I’ve really loved the practice. I love the last few days of December every year — the closing of one chapter and the opening of a new chapter feels so hope-giving to me.

    I’ve had lots of experiences over the years of looking forward to a new movie or TV show being released. In some cases, that excitement for an upcoming release would last months or years. The year-long wait for Endgame after Infinity War came out comes to mind. Lately, though, I find movies and TV shows to be much less the focus of my anticipation.

    Have you ever thought about what in your life makes you hopeful ? Or, what saps your hope? I realized recently that my mental health often appears to be pretty tightly tied to how hopeful I feel in a given season. That seems significant.

    A couple years ago, a friend recommended to me the music of Steve Schallert . I actually included one of his songs in my first post on my website. Around that time, I probably listened to his album Songs of Sorrow / Songs of Hope on repeat like 50x in a row. Well, yesterday one of his songs came up after a long season without any of his music, and the last section of the song was especially powerf

    I find physical examples of redemption to be really potent and impacting. When I see or hear stories of things that brought destruction being transformed into tools to bring life, it excites me and stirs hope in me more than I can easily express. Literal examples of Isaiah’s swords beaten into ploughshares are really beautiful to me. A want to see more of them! It’s made me wonder, what would it l
