THREE RISKS AND THREE BENEFITS OF BEING VULNERABLE
THREE RISKS AND THREE BENEFITS OF BEING VULNERABLE

This week on the blog I am reposting an article from a few years back. You may have noticed that the past month has been pretty quiet in my little corner of the internet here. There have been many reasons and many factors.

However, in the vein of being…ahem…vulnerable…

I am going to take a small hiatus for the summer from content creation. Honestly, it is simply because I am tired. The last year has taken its toll on me emotionally, physically, and spiritually. My annual study break starts in July. I have a speaking engagement in a couple of weeks. Plus, next week my mom and dad will be here.

WHAT WE NEED MORE THAN ANYTHING IN 2021

Two years ago, I received a Facebook message on Christmas Eve that I’ve been thinking about this week. A member of our church, a young woman who would not live to see the next year, wrote to thank me for our service that night and one song in particular.

That hope is what she needed that Christmas.

That hope is what her husband and kids would need just a few short days later.

That hope is what we preached at her funeral a week later.

That hope is what every reader of this blog needs in 2021.
