Misunderstood Bible Character: Achan the Provider
I’ve been leading my church’s Bible Study in the book of Joshua lately. And unless you’ve also been reading it, you might miss a guy named Achan in the middle of Joshua 7—a man who tried to provide for himself. At this point in the narrative, the Israelites are no longer floundering in the wilderness, and have started entering the promised land of Canaan. But they grumbled. So instead of God…
Resources for Reading the Bible in Context (a CBS Giveaway)
Over the past while, I’ve noticed something quietly troubling. Many people I care about—including those in Christian circles—don’t actually read their Bibles. Not because they don’t love God, but because reading the Bible consistently can be hard. People are busy, intimidated, or unsure where to start. They need resources. This is where the Canadian Bible Society truly shines. When I began…
Have you ever read scripture and thought, "I'm glad I'm not like that guy?" Well, maybe think again.
Advent: A Season Of Preparation at Christmas
At this time of year, I find myself asking what Advent means. Many of us know it as the season leading up to Christmas. Maybe in your church, you light the Advent candles of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love, and then look forward to Christmas morning to opening presents. So many of us look forward to Christmas every year, hosting dinner parties and soaking up the mirth of the Christmas…
The Canadian Bible Society and You
Five years ago, I didn’t know much about the Canadian Bible Society. I’d seen their name on Bibles and tracts, of course, but I had no idea what they actually did. What I’ve discovered since then has changed the way I see Scripture engagement in Canada. The Canadian Bible Society (CBS) is one of the most quietly influential Christian organizations in Canada. Founded in 1809 and registered as a…
In the midst of this busy season, here is a message on rest in general, not just Sabbath.
Christmas Mourning: Some Notes on Grief In This Holiday Season
Christmas is right around the corner, and many people are planning to celebrate with their loved ones. Laughter over good food, pretty lights, joyous festive music—these are all characteristic of this holiday season. But what happens when you don’t feel like celebrating because you’re dealing with grief? Mourning of a dream? Or even mourning a part of yourself? As a Christian, Christmas is…
What My First Year of My Ph.D. Taught Me
It’s the end of August, and you know what that means. Students have been out of school, (hopefully) enjoying their summer that is quickly coming to a close. Perhaps you are one of those students, a post-secondary student—one who is looking to pursue graduate studies in the form of a Ph.D. Perhaps you are seeking real-life experience from those “on the ground”. If you are, you’ve come to the right…
What does your story say?
When you share your story with others, what do you pay attention to?
One story can be strung in a myriad of ways. For example, take a simple sentence such as, “I went to the grocery store”. This might be represented by a 15-page novella about the flowers in the field on the way to the parking lot, the people and cars that walked and drove past, or even the romantic atmosphere as I floated past the strawberries that permeated the air with summer succulence. It can…

How To Stop Fear of Public Speaking from Stopping You
Public speaking has always made me nervous. And yet, I am in a field that requires me to stand up in front of people and speak for several minutes at a time in class presentations, board meetings, conference presentations, and sermons. So you might wonder: how do I do it? If you know the discomfort of having a room/auditorium full of eyes on you at once, and want to stop wishing for the floor to…

Misunderstood Bible Character: Cain the Gardener
With the start of a new year, I decided to revisit Genesis in my devotions. And as I read Genesis 4 for the zillionth time, I realized that Cain gets thrown under the bus a lot and is misunderstood. Most of us may already know Cain, and don’t think of him past Genesis 4, as the one who’s offering to the Lord wasn’t good enough. But I think this shortchanges him, especially when we consider the…

What Really Matters In This Life?
Over the past few months since my last post, I’ve attended the memorial of a beloved professor’s recent passing, and the first year of my dad’s passing has come and gone. As a result, I’ve—once again—had to ask myself what really matters in this life. And, against the backdrop of a casket and eulogies, not much does. There are always limits to humanity’s desires. Aside from earning enough money…

If you feel life is meaningless, read this.
It's been some time.
I started a Ph.D. these past few weeks in Biblical Studies. I have worked hard to get to this point, following in step in God’s timing. But I also am not forgetting the support of family, friends, academic colleagues and mentors who have encouraged me. It truly does take a village. Preparing for this, as well as just trying to pace myself through my twenties—with the big three-oh in a few…

It's been a while. "'Snow" joke, I know.
I thought I'd come and share more stories about faith in the little things, which end up being not so little. This time, about snow.
No kidding, right? A full 15 months have passed since my last post and this one. There was a lot on my plate, but God’s been nudging me back in this direction, so I’m trying to follow His leading. I thought I’d come and share more stories about faith in the little things, which end up being not so little. This time, about snow. We had some snow here in Ontario this past month (big surprise, I…

God Hasn't Left
Maybe you're tired of being told to "pray more". God Hasn't Left
As a lifetime Christian, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that when people are in despair, they just need to pray more. “Keep looking to Jesus,” they say. “God is still here.” “If you feel like you’re praying to a wall, He hasn’t left you, you’ve left Him.” We can be in despair for different reasons. All of them are valid. Maybe you’re overwhelmed from being responsible for others.…

Do You Use What You Have For God?
The potential of being used by God is exciting. However, some Christians shy away from this. They think, “I have nothing to offer, God can’t use me.” For these Christians, God’s omnipresence, power, and authority, drowns out any of their own ability to contribute. We don’t measure up to God’s glory. Even pointing out that there are many humans throughout the Bible who played a great role in…

Mirror, Mirror: What Does Jesus See In You?
Mirror, Mirror: What Does Jesus See In You?
In general, I try to avoid mirrors that show me my imperfections. I’ve never liked watching myself in the wall mirror in a Zumba class (in those pre-COVID days), or watching myself walk along in a mirrored hallway. I have flat feet. Sometimes I’m bloated. I never know how to hold these long arms of mine. Zoom calls are a constant reminder of the zit I forgot to cover, or hair that won’t stay in…
