What Psalm 23 Taught Me About Impostor Syndrome

“What Psalm 23 Taught Me About Impostor Syndrome” We often read Psalm 23 for comfort, but verse 5 recently confronted me in a new way. “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies…” What kind of God prepares a table not for the worthy, but for the weary? This post explores what that verse teaches us about God’s character—and how it speaks directly to the quiet battle so many of us face: the feeling that we don’t belong. This isn’t a story about David. It’s a story about the Shepherd who hasn’t changed.

The Living and Active Word: Guarding Against Subjective Interpretation The Bible declares in Hebrews 4:12 (NASB 1995), "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts [...]

Stop “Low Power Mode” Christianity

Stop "Low Power Mode" Christianity Most smart phones have a feature that recommends enabling Low Power Mode once a certain battery percentage has been met (usually at 20%, and then again at 10%). Low Power Mode usually restricts push notifications, internet speeds, and other background operations necessary to work properly. So, we miss out [...]

I just had the most wonderful experience with a group of 12 young adults in Guadalajara, Mexico. We had over 150 gospel conversations in the span of a week, and one out of every four conversations resulted in a confession of faith in Christ! Nothing in this trip was ordinary. In fact, everything about [...]

Preface As I was writing this, I was interrupted by a phone-call from a scammer, how ironic! I knew from the start it was a scammer, and in fact I confronted the caller, called him to stop, and pointed out every lie he said, I’m serious, this actually happened. That’s what we can do [...]

PREFACE Good ole Jeremiah 29:11"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (NIV) So many of us have heard it! At graduations, birthdays, funerals, times of sorrow, it's inescapable. But are we even aware what that passage [...]

What does it mean to pray “In the name of Jesus”?

By Mike Pileggi|2020-03-07T15:19:17-05:00February 6th, 2020|Theology|

Preface I was taught to pray using the name of Jesus, just as Matthew 7:7-8 says “ask and you shall receive…” However, there’s something odd about praying “in the name of Jesus”. Often, the most “spiritual” people would even go as far as declaring in His name. I can still hear it, even the overly [...]
