Make a New Normal

discipleship

  • We make lots of excuses not to love. They’re all trash. Every single one. Because Christians have no excuses to avoid loving other people.

  • Unbound Grace

    The parable reveals how blind the rich man is to reality. And in reading it, Jesus hopes we won’t continue to share the same delusion.

  • In just a few verses, Jesus ties us in knots and turns us into our enemies.

  • Bad Economics

    Jesus keeps teaching us about the limits of transactional thinking — and the life-giving beauty of sacrifice in his way of love.

  • In Luke 14:34-35, Jesus uses an imperfect analogy about salt losing flavor. Often we’re too distracted by the analogy to get the point.

  • Jesus keeps defying expectations. In the midst of great celebrity, he now defies the low expectations the followers have for themselves.
