When You Catch Yourself Pretending to Be Fine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You get asked how you're doing maybe a hundred times a week. The checkout line, and the hallway at work. Every time, you say fine. And most of the time you aren't. You're worn out in a way that sleep hasn't touched in a while, or you're grieving something nobody around you can see. Fine is the polite answer that ends the conversation, which is exactly the job it was built to do. The trouble starts when fine becomes the only setting you have left. You say it to your spouse across the supper table
How to Be at Peace with an Ordinary Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A lot of Christians have picked up a message from the culture without meaning to. A meaningful life has to be big. A platform, and a story people would want to hear. And then there's the week in front of you. You got up and went to work, and at some point you made supper and helped somebody with homework. Most people's lives are made of small things.

Read excerpt
You went into the appointment with ordinary worries and came out with something that changes everything. Learn what Isaiah 43:2 promises about God's presence in the days after a diagnosis, and how a church is meant to show up. A diagnosis changes the shape of your life in a moment. You went into the appointment with the ordinary worries about parking and getting back to work in the afternoon. You came out with something that reorders everything. The drive home is a strange thing all by itself. T
What to Do When You're Angry at God's Timing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes the thing that bothers you most about God is the schedule itself. Learn what Jesus did when Martha accused Him of showing up four days late, and why you can say the same sentence out loud. You know the feeling if you've prayed about something long enough. A door that stays shut year after year. A diagnosis that arrives in the worst possible month of the worst possible year. And the part that gets under your skin is the schedule itself. God could have done this last spring. He didn't. H
