Anxiety & Holy Week

April 7, 2020

I’m writing this at 2:53AM and sleep is elusive. I can feel the anxiety in my body — shortness of breath, wide awake, adrenaline pumping through my veins and a mind that races. This is new territory with a pandemic now being part of our global narrative. I know in my head that anxiety, for…

The “Warning Signs” I wish I’d seen before I hit rock bottom

Twelve Signs of Burnout in Life and Ministry

July 3, 2019

In December of 2009, I sat across from my boss in a hotel lobby and said, “I am done.” I couldn’t take another minute of continuing to do a job I once loved. For years I had given the job all of my best energy and care, until what felt like an out-of-the-blue, 180 degree…

Moral vs. Spiritual Formation

25th Reunion

October 1, 2018

To my Sullivan Central Cougars Class of 1993, I wish I could be with you Friday night as you meet once again in the cafeteria lined with age old trophies and concrete walls that contain more secrets than the FBI. I remember the first time we were all together was on a hot August day…

Home and Away

December 12, 2017
