I spent 21 days all alone with no phone. It nearly broke me
By , CP Guest Contributor Twenty-one days. In an isolated cabin, tucked into a moody, coastal forest above a remote beach in Puget Sound. All alone. No phone. No computer, email, or internet. You are required to hand over any devices upon check-in. No books.
Bycie singlem może być darem od Boga. Pod jednym warunkiem
Nie masz drugiej połówki? Mówisz o sobie, że jesteś singlem? Może to jest dar, który Bóg ci daje, żeby łatwiej ci było robić dla Niego rzeczy. Dla uczniów Jezusa sensem bycia singlem nie jest wolność od odpowiedzialności. To wolność ku większej odpowiedzialności. Święty Paweł uważa, że życie w stanie wolnym jest wspaniałe. Pod koniec rozdziału mówi nawet, że jest ono lepsze od małżeństwa.

Stories Converge at Easter
Introduction Read (Mark 1:1) I started to read Unbroken: A WWII Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption. On the front cover is the title, the subtitle, and the author's name, Laura Hillenbrand, as well as marketing stuff like, "From the #1 New York Times Bestselling author." Then on the inside, there are pages and pages of information before you ever get to the book.
God heeft een naam
Je wordt gevormd door wat je gelooft. Je kunt verlangen naar een relatie met God, maar je toch ver weg en niet verbonden met Hem voelen. Alsof Hij meer een idee is waar we met ons hoofd in geloven dan een persoon met wie we een relatie hebben. Waarom ervaren we deze kloof tussen onszelf en God? Zou het kunnen dat veel van wat we over God denken, niet helemaal klopt? Wat als onze 'God' eigenlijk een projectie is van onze eigen identiteit, ideeën en verlangens?
John Mark Comer: 4 Questions to Ask Before You Even Think About Getting Married
In the Church, sometimes we make people who aren’t married feel like the JV team. Like they never really “made it.” If you’re in your twenties and single, the odds are people ask you all the time, “Are you dating anybody? Do you like anybody? Know anybody?” And people are well meaning, but the subliminal message is, “When are you going to get married and actually start life like the rest of us?” But life doesn’t start when you get married.

John Mark Comer: You Can’t ‘Feel’ Your Way Into Faith
When you first come awake at the beginning of the day, where does your mind go? When you lay your head down on your pillow after a long day, what are your final thoughts as you drift off to sleep? In the little moments of space throughout your day—waiting in line for your morning coffee, stuck in traffic, sitting down to a meal—where does your mind naturally drift? Let’s be honest: for most of us, it’s not to Jesus. It’s to our fears, our wounds—to negative rumination.
600: Not Debating Trump & Being Like Jesus with John Mark Comer
It’s been nearly a decade since Donald Trump descended on his golden escalator and turned conventional wisdom about evangelical political values upside-down. Bonnie Kristian has a new article arguing that the only one’s still fighting about whether or not to support him are the “evangelical elites,” but for average evangelicals the debate about Trump is over.
Find your secret place: Importance of where you pray (book excerpt)
By , CP Guest Contributor Jesus said something about prayer that I find surprising (which is not surprising). His first piece of advice was not about what to pray but where: When you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
De weg volgen
‘De bedoeling van het evangelie is niet alleen dat jij in de hemel komt, maar ook dat de hemel in jóú komt.’ We worden voortdurend gevormd door de wereld om ons heen. Als we ons in plaats daarvan door Jézus willen laten vormen, willen we dan ook bij Hem in de leer gaan? Comer schetst in De Weg volgen zijn hoopvolle visie op geestelijke groei.
Life Is Hard. God Is Good. Let's Dance.
Read by the author. "Quirky and inviting essays on what it means to live joyfully in a world full of 'anger and anxiety'...This optimism booster has a light touch and a lasting impact."—Publishers Weekly This book is about one idea: joy. A deep sense of well-being, regardless of circumstances, is not only possible but is promised to all who follow Jesus. Life is hard, but God is good. And through Him we can start to see the world in a more childlike, humble, and optimistic way.
Spiritual formation manifesto: Practical ways to follow Jesus
Jesus said something about prayer that I find surprising (which is not surprising). His first piece of advice was not about what to pray but where: “When you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly” (Matthew 6:6-7, NIV).

Tina Turner performs onstage during the 50th annual Grammy Awards held at the Staples Center on Feb. 10, 2008, in Los Angeles. Kevin Winter/Getty Images) When Tina Turner, often dubbed the “Queen of Rock ‘N’ Roll,” died at her home in Küsnacht, Switzerland, on May 24, 2023, at the age of 83, media headlines praised both her dynamism as a performer and her many career achievements.

Happy Birthday, Buddha! Why Buddha Has So Many Different Birthdays around the World

The Intentional Year
Are you ready to stop living reactively, feeling emotionally exhausted, and being pulled in multiple directions? We struggle to keep up with the demands of life―but God invites us into freedom. We feel anxious and overwhelmed―but God promises peace. We’re stretched and empty―but God offers purpose. The Intentional Year is an invitation to stop right now, right where you are, and choose to live on purpose.
Boek | Leef geen leugens - John Mark Comer
We zijn momenteel in oorlog. Niet met buitenlandse aanvallers of binnenlandse terroristen. Nee, het is een strijd die je diep in je geest en lichaam ervaart: we zijn in oorlog met leugens. Het probleem is niet zozeer dat we leugens vertellen, maar dat we ze leven. We laten ze toe in onze gedachten en lichaam, waar ze onze vrede en heelheid ondermijnen. Deze vijanden zijn krachten die proberen om schade aan te richten in ons hart en leven door middel van subtiel bedrog.
Book Review: Live No Lies by John Mark Comer

Like most pastors, he sees people living in false realities. That is, they seem to have bought into some of the significant lies that permeate our culture.
Eagerness To Start Social Security Benefits Can Backfire
Andy became my client after he retired but before he turned 62. He is one of the fortunate few these days who have both Social Security and a pension. Not only that but, in the words of Thomas Stanley, author of “The Millionaire Next Door,” Andy was a prodigious accumulator of wealth. He is the type who never made a huge salary but consistently spent less than he made, accumulating savings that he will never need.
Advent: Christmas Eve
When we light the candles of Advent, we get in touch with the love, joy, peace, and hope, of the gospel of Jesus. Introduction Happy Christmas! Christmas is very much a thing at our church. You may be watching this on Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day, or the Sunday after Christmas, but our tradition is to gather together to sing Christmas carols and read the Christmas story by candlelight. This year, Christmas is less sentimental and more spiritual.
Advent: Hope
Introduction If you are new to Advent, it’s based on an ancient Latin word. Ad is Latin for “to ”, and vent for “come.” At Advent, we remember God coming to us in Jesus. We look back to Jesus’ first coming and forward to his second. And we get in touch with the felt-experience of living in the in-between. (Read Luke 1:26-38) Now, turn to Luke 24.
Advent: Joy
Three steps to find joy: give thanks, draw near to God, and curate your mindstream. Introduction Christian Wiman, the celebrated poet, professor of literature at Yale and Christian intellectual, in his book Joy, which is a collection of poetry and writings on the subject of joy, opens the book with an essay on the maxim used by artists the world over: Light writes white.
Advisor Encourages Clients to Have a Direction in Retirement
Photo by unsplash/javieralleguebarros John Comer We plan for clients to live to age 95 unless they have a family history of short lives or have received a diagnosis that their health is comprised. I love it when my clients have the resources to retire in their preferred style, but that’s not all we need to plan for: I also encourage clients to be active.
Help Clients Launch their Next Act
Photo by unsplash/@barryweatherall John Comer It’s great to hear when a client approaching or already in their retirement years has identified their values and a goal for the second half of life. It could be a new job, career, business, volunteer opportunity or hobby. Perhaps it’s something similar to what they’ve always done — or it could be completely outside their wheelhouse.
John Mark Comer: There’s No Difference Between ‘Spiritual’ and ‘Secular’
The sacred/secular divide is this idea that some things are sacred or spiritual, and they matter to God. But other things are secular or physical, and at least by implication, they don’t matter to God—at least, not all that much. The problem with this widespread way of thinking is that, by this definition, most of life is secular. The sacred stuff is a dinky slice of the pie—going to church, praying, reading the Scriptures, evangelism. What is that, five percent of our lives?
Encourage ‘Solo Seniors’ to Stay Engaged with Social Groups

The Arabic term Ramadan connotes intense heat.
Paradijs Stad
Waarom bestaan we? Wat betekent het om mens te zijn? Je hebt vast weleens iemand horen zeggen: het gaat erom wie je bent, niet om wat je doet. Echt? Waar staat dat in de Bijbel? Want de Bijbel leert ons vanaf de allereerste bladzijde dat de mens bedoeld is om over de aarde te heersen, de ongekende mogelijkheden van de aarde te ontdekken en een samenleving te creëren. Paradijs Stad is een theologisch onderbouwd, praktisch en ontnuchterend boek.
Why Masks Are A Religious Issue
Anti-mask protesters at a rally in Orem, Utah. AP Photo/Rick Bowmer Seemingly everyone has an opinion on masks: when to wear them, how to wear them, which ones are best and even whether we should be wearing them at all. For those in this last camp, a popular argument is that the coverings aren’t the problem, but being forced by a government entity to wear one is. It’s the mandate, not the mask, some might say.
CAIN - IN STUDIO
Wednesday, August 05, 2020 Logan, Madison, and Taylor, a sibling trio known by their last name and band name, Cain, joined The Morning Cruise in the studio this morning. The last time we saw them was when they were on tour with Zach Williams, back in March. Their first stop on their first tour, which turned out to be short lived as stay in place orders regarding coronavirus happened shortly afterwards. Today, we get to know them along with you and share some of their music. .

10 Things The World Misses About Reality
We do this thing periodically where we find a longer Twitter thread I think is worth sharing more widely — especially if the person doesn’t blog — and put them together on a single page.

Preaching on Vocation
Our work is one of the main ways to participate in the mission of Jesus. The longer I preach, the more I realize that in the fight for the kingdom of God, my arch nemesis isn't liberalism, conservatism, secularism, pluralism, or any of the isms at all—it's irrelevance. So many of the burning, acute issues of our day and age simply don't get talked about in church. At all.
Activism After Clicktivism | Q Ideas
For over a decade, revolutionaries and culture jammers have been paralyzed by the computer screen. Trusting the promises of technocrats and digital visionaries, dazzled by the viral hype surrounding MoveOn and the like, we’ve come to rely far too heavily on a particular form of internet organizing. Believing that clicktivism could spark social change, we deployed market-tested messaging, glitzy AJAX websites and social networking apps.
What to consider before you claim Social Security
Social Security is an important part of almost everyone’s retirement. When you are determining your strategy for claiming Social Security you should consider many variables. Among those variables: your health and expected longevity, your satisfaction with your work, your retirement resources aside from Social Security and general investment earning rates. Also, everyone should give some weight to the ability of Social Security to provide income for life.
