A review of Matt Chandler and Adam Griffin’s book Family Discipleship: Leading Your Home Through Time, Moments, and Milestones” shouldn’t need a lot of detailed discussion. It’s a short read, with just 147 pages, and fairly simple read at that. The book though, does pack a punch in a very specific way and has a […]

Reframing Emotions From A Biblical Worldview
by: Travis Stockton I recently have finished the series on Disney + called Wanda Vision (slight spoiler alert). I do not normally endorse a lot of media and content from producers or publishers that I am not willing to thoroughly back the majority of their content and Disney is dubious, at best, with a great […]
For Systematic Study: God’s Character
I have taken seven theology texts (primarily Systematic Theologies) and found the relevant chapters of those texts for the topic at hand and collected the list of Scripture references from each text. I have then compared the Scripture references to each other to see if I can attempt to find the most relevant passages on the topic at hand. This allows me to then consider which passages are consistently referenced by theologians that are attempting to give a systematic review of Scripture’s teachings on the subject.
The Gospel in Healing America
It is 2020 and the world is on a whole new level of brokenness. The Coronavirus has brought in a host of issues that have exposed lines and cracks in the foundations of our country that seem to have been simply glossed over for years. Our country seems less The United States of America than […]
Book Review: A Company of Heroes
The shape of God dictates what a hero looks like. If you are all about worshiping power, CEO’s and comic book heroes stand as the definition of what a hero looks like. If you’re all about money and bowing to that idol, the billionaires and entrepreneurs are at the top of the list. But if […]

Truths I Need In A Time of Need
As I write this, the world is in upheaval. Africa experiences a plague of locusts, in Indonesia, the Krakatoa volcano erupts, countries the world over are wrestling with the virus Covid-19 and all the issues that come with it. And I would imagine there are many who, like me, are concerned about the seriousness not […]
Theology’s Role in Pastoral Counseling
Theology, broadly defined as the study of God and/or God’s nature, is at the core of how every person responds to the world around them. If you believe that there is no God, you are an atheist and will likely have no belief in an eternal afterlife or any sense of concern about an eternal […]
Book Review: God’s Grace In Your Suffering by David Powlison
If you are not familiar with the hymn, “How Firm a Foundation” you will quickly become familiar with it as you read God’s Grace In Your Suffering by David Powlison. The entire premise of the book is to map out the way the song addresses suffering. And he does so as only a master counselor […]
Feasting with Jesus and the Church
We’re all hungry. There’s an emptiness in us that makes us crave something. It gnaws at us, and as we all try to figure out what to fill it up with, we all keep looking for more and more. Because no matter what we try to fill that hunger with, nothing seems to help. […]
