I've been in prison, and I don't mind talking about it. Of course, I was wrongly accused—but that didn't shorten my sentence. It was dark, lonely, and frustrating. Before you start wondering what crime I committed, I should clarify: I'm not talking about a jail. I'm talking about a season of life when I felt [...]
I’ve had the privilege of meeting several well-known Christian authors and speakers over the years, and whenever I have the opportunity, I ask the same question: "How did your ministry get started?" The reason is simple—I want to know the secret. I want the formula. I want to understand how God took them from obscurity [...]
Years ago, I sat on the edge of a canyon in my hometown of Twin Falls, Idaho. The wind moved through the rocks, and something settled deep in my heart. I sensed God calling me to reach people through writing and speaking. It felt clear. It felt right. And over time, He confirmed it again [...]
Imagine this. You’ve been chosen—handpicked—for a journey no human has ever taken. After months of grueling preparation, your body aches from training, your mind stretches to its limits, and your heart pounds with anticipation. The day finally comes. You suit up, step into the spacecraft, and feel the deep rumble beneath you as engines ignite. [...]

The morning is still and tender.The earth glistens beneath your feet as dew clings to each blade of grass, catching the first light of dawn. The sky is waking—soft gold spilling into pale blue—and something in your chest feels awake too… expectant. You lace your shoes slowly, almost reverently. Today feels different. You step forward, [...]
When I taught middle school in Texas, Lori was one of my special education students. She had a contagious personality and a beautiful spirit—and when she was thrilled about something, her brown, curly hair shook, jived, and jiggled like something out of a 1970s disco. One afternoon Lori rushed toward me with her hair dancing [...]
Helen Keller said, “It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.” Vision is the ability to see beyond your present reality; it’s the ability to create what not yet exists. Vision is the dominant factor that governs your life; it’s what your prayers are about, what you dream about, and usually, what you [...]
You’ve probably never heard of Edward Kimble. He was just a humble Sunday school teacher 130 years ago when he felt God tugging at his heart, prompting him to share the gospel with a young man he knew. After some hesitation, Kimble mustered up some courage and walked into the shoe store where the young [...]
