Weekend A La Carte (5/19)

Twinterview – Jeremy Walker recently did what he calls a “twinterview” with David Murray and me.

Maybe We Make Meditation Too Difficult

Of all the Christian disciplines, it is my guess that meditation may be the least practiced—though I suppose fasting might have something to say about that. Most people diligently make time to read the Bible and pray. And yet, while most people have good intentions when it comes to meditation, it so often seems to…

How I’ll Be Reading the Bible in 2024

Speaking broadly, there are two approaches to daily Bible reading: reading for intimacy or reading for familiarity. Intimacy with the Bible comes by slow, meditative reading that focuses on small portions—deep study of books, chapters, and verses.

I Feel At Home in Your Church
