Help!

What if asking for help is the most honest and important thing you do every day? Right next to offering it? Jesus said “Ask and it will be given...” If it was no big deal, he wouldn’t have gone on about it and we wouldn’t have to talk about it.  In this episode, Melissa Lock kicks off a conversation that helps us dig into what keeps the kind of help we really need from flowing more freely in our lives and world.

The Gospel According to Greg | Nothing is Written in Stone

It’s Hard Not To Practice

It’s Hard Not To Wonder

You may wonder if that is a true assertion or not, but that just proves the point. There is nothing so certain that you don’t wonder about it. People who don’t like your wondering call it doubt, but it’s all the same. It’s the crack in the walls of certainty, the possibility that there is more to whatever it is.
