And I’m very open about my […]

How are we to decide between the many worthy nonprofit causes that are asking for financial support?If you’re anything like Kelly (my wife) and me, you have to make this choice carefully.

Spelunking, Cave Formations, and Culture Change

“It’s riskier than ever,” Jill said, “to tell people you work with you’re a Christian.”Jill worked at a public policy communications firm in Denver. Having worked with people of all faiths and no faith for over seven years, her sentiment about being a Christian in pluralist America was one I heard often. Fear. Isolation. Better […]
