We live in a time where people are taking action on things they don’t know are true for sure, and it’s tearing the Church apart.

Everyday Disciple-Making, PSA, and Conditional Immortality w/ Eric Miller
We talked about all things making disciples, evangelism, and then a bunch of “Biblical studies stuff” like theories of atonement, the nature of hell and more.
Christians In Pandemic: 3 Critical Morality Issues We’ve Faced So Far
For those of us using social media during this time, we need to remember that if we make our allegiance with Jesus Messiah, the information and opinions we share are moral issues. Here’s what I mean:
How to Get Clear about God’s Will for Your Life
Do you ever find it difficult to make decisions? Have you ever wondered what God’s will for your life might be? In this video, we wrestle through what it looks like to discover your purpose for life.
Why I Don’t Vote (and probably never will)
I didn’t vote during these last elections. In fact, I have never voted. My choice not to vote is more than following a church tradition—it’s fundamental to my faith. Let me explain.
Church: a community of broken people growing together
We have been invited into a movement of people coming from diverse types of backgrounds and ethnicities. We’ve been called to join a people whose hearts and generational narratives are getting completely rewritten as God unites us all as one family in Jesus Christ.
Do We Have a Male Dominated Expression of Faith?
What is a woman’s role in church? What place are women given in faith communities today? What place should they be given? Do men dominate the faith scene in America? These are the questions we’re diggin’ to answer in this post.
How to Know You Are in a Good Church
Have we made church more complicated than it needs to be?
On one hand, we want a church full of life, one where the people are authentic and genuinely love each other. On the other hand, there are plenty of things we don’t want in a church, such as external rules, competition, and controlling leadership.
But what if none of this is what matters when it comes to knowing you are in a good church?
Millennials, Community, and Judging One Another
Question Submitted: Where do we separate judging from judging? That was not a typo. Proverbs talks about “iron sharpening iron” and yet people crouch behind Matthew 7:1. And so, how do we separate the two and what are ways to confront issues such as this?
If I understand your question correctly, you are asking “how do we speak into each other’s lives without being accused of judging?” Anymore, if someone raises a concern about something a brother or sister says or does, that brother or sister takes the concern as judgment, right? Yet, does that mean we are not ever to address issues we see in other people’s lives?
Have You Found Freedom in Your Christian Faith?
How would you describe your experience in the Christian faith? Vibrant, life-giving, transforming, attractive? Or does it feel more shallow, hypocritical, ritualistic, or alienating?
More and more people, today, are becoming disenchanted with denominations. They are weary of the “our-denomination-is-better” mindset, crossing denominational bounds as they look for a fuller sense of truth and faith. They want more than what they experience in church, and whenever anyone wants more, anything else is basically up for grabs.
There is nothing wrong with wanting more. I want more. And I will be concerned the day I wake up not wanting more. But wanting more isn’t enough.
Waking Up Mennonite
Everyone spoke in hushed tones. Mom cried silently, dabbing her eyes with a Kleenex. What was going on?
Moments before, I sat in the back row, behind the Vinar family, copying the gibberish I saw in a hymnbook onto a blank piece of paper my older sister had given me. Now, everyone was huddled into groups, solemn, and praying. Something important was happening. Something big!
Is this my church?
What I Love about Pastors
A pastor is someone who shepherds people in the way of Truth. This includes caring for people, preaching the Word, confronting sin, and much more. Specifically, for the purposes of this post, I am referring either to those who the people of a local church have asked to shepherd them, or those who have nurtured new believers and, by default, have become shepherds. In this article, I address what I love about them.
