When we learn Old Testament Bible stories as children, the stories are stripped of their complexity. But, as adults, hearing the entire stories-the stories of our past-reminds us who we are in God's plan. Parental Guidance Advised shows the Old Testament to be a creative, humorous, insightful, bawdy, dynamic, and enriching collection of sacred literature hammered out over centuries of wrestling with the divine-human relationship. It depicts the Old...

Turning Ourselves Inside Out emerges from the Thriving Christian Communities Project started by the authors in 2015, as well as from a Facebook conversation where someone asked, "We always hear about the problems in our churches. When are we going to talk about the good news stories?" This got the authors thinking: How do we learn about what is exciting and what the Holy Spirit is doing? How do we broaden the conversation beyond how sad, afraid, and...

After thirty-plus years of youth ministry it would be easy to imagine that you've seen it all-and that there is nothing left to learn. The truth is, however, that if we just pay attention, God loves to surprise us with unexpected moments of joy and humor that serve as opportunities to learn new lessons, remind us of those we may have forgotten, and, most importantly, remember why we got into ministry in the first place.
These experiences can also...

If the Lord Jesus spoke to us now, what would it be? Scripture says the Holy Ghost teaches us all things and leads into all truth, but what if we've become hard of hearing? Would the Lord sound like this: People today don't believe I have a voice any more, that I can't 'speak for myself,' that this happens only in myths or so-called religious accounts.The closest people allow me to 'speaking' is something 'inspired.' But to actually speak as the epitome...
