Are successful people those who ruthlessly go after what they want? That’s the narrative we’re fed through the stories of the world’s most successful people. Or is real success a function of learning to avoid the things that jeopardize what’s most important to us?

It’s easier to judge the actions of someone than it is to try to experience life through their eyes. But the failure to see as others do is more detrimental to our own success than we think!

Christmas is a time of numerous traditions. But it’s funny how good traditions can become empty and bad ones can supplant truth. That’s not only a holiday problem, it’s a problem that has haunted people of faith for millennia. If we’re not careful, tradition can become the enemy of what’s good, meaningful and true.

The darkness of the season is made tolerable, even beautiful, by the lights, glitz and glimmer we bring into it with our decorations. Those things are meant to point to the greater glory God revealed in this season, but in our zeal to make the season bright through our efforts, we might actually get in the way.

It’s human nature to avoid suffering, and downright foolishness to embrace it. Yet, Jesus shockingly embraced a path that led to death on a cross.

People try to limit Jesus by putting him in a box: a prophet, a moral teacher, a miracle-performer. But he blew away the box by declaring who he really was, the new foundation for a transformed life!

We believe that most people are rational, and so we argue, share evidence, and try to persuade others to our own opinions. But Jesus didn’t waste time debating—he simply told mystifying stories that cut straight to the heart!

Humans naturally divide themselves into groups for protection and safety. Jesus shook up the status quo by inviting everyone into a new tribe, including lawbreakers and pariahs!

Everywhere you turn, there are promises of quick fixes or simple solutions to life’s complicated problems. While the leaders of the day were trying to heal symptoms, Jesus raised their ire by naming and healing the true cause of our problems.
