This Wayfaring Life

Send us a text Many of you know I was injured a few weeks ago on my backpacking trip in the Sierra and could not finish--I had to bail out on a side trail. But this disappointing situation turned into an incredible experience thanks to a divine appointment. The Bible says that God directs the steps of the righteous. He really does. Here is my story and I hope it encourages you!

Send us a text God wants to speak to each one of us persoanlly on a daily basis and the primary way he does this is through his Word--the Bible. The thing is the Bible can be very intimidating for some people to study on their own. And even the word "study" can make it sound laborious when in fact it is life giving! Over the next 4-6 weeks we are going to have a lot of fun as we discuss simple ways to have a morning devotional or quiet time and actually experience God speaking directly to you and your life situations. Along the way each episode will have devotional and inspirational content to encourage you on your journey to follow the One who is the Way! I am looking forward to studying the Word with all of you!

Send us a text How do you respond when it appears God has forgotten you and the promises he made to you? When the direction your life is going seems to be in the opposite direction of the promise God gave you? Can you trust God's heart even when you do not understand his ways? Today we are going to deep dive on a biblical story that just might challenge you a bit--but it will also bring you hope. It is time to let go of our Benjamin!

Send us a text Leaning into another Tales From The Trails story for you today! While on a junior high rock climbing trip my friend and I ended up getting separated from our group and lost in the desert. It taught me a good life lesson that has spiritual application--the importance of keeping short accounts with God. Getting just a couple degrees off course matters over time. But His grace is there to bring us in if we will allow it.

Send us a text It was a beautiful and clear day in July when we left to hike the Bright Angel Trail but all of that changed when a freak storm drenched us to the bone, bruised us with hail and then caused a rockslide that struck one of our group members. To say it was crazy is an understatement. Later the San Gabriel Valley Tribune would put us on the front page with the caption: Youth Group Survives the Slide! Yet even in the midst of chaos, when I lifted my eyes up to Jesus I found peace. This holds true in the midst of any chaotic storm we may find ourselves in in life. Join me today as we continue our Tales From The Trails series for a little story time.

Send us a text When you take people outside you give them the opportunity to encounter God in a whole new way. That is what happened on Good Friday when 100+ of my friends (many of whom were non-hikers) and I made the trek up to the Garcia Cross to celebrate Good Friday at sunrise--it was glorious!

Send us a text I wasn't lost but I also was not where I should be. And while I knew the general direction home I was not sure how to get back. This is a true story from a crazy experience in our San Gabriel Mountains and it has some strong spiritual correlation.

Send us a text This is the final episode of "Come Alive" coaching series to help you come alive to God's purpose for your life. So many people start the year with New Year's resolutions that three weeks later end up pushed to the side. If resolutions work for you--great! But for many of us resolutions fail because they are not connected to the main reason God put us on this planet--our life purpose and vision. This series has endeavored to give you the tools to discern and craft your life vision and life purpose. Today we complete the series with tools for discerning and writing your life mission statements and goals that are fueled by your life vision and legacy. Enjoy!

Send us a text In Psalm 77 we find the author distressed and filled with anxiety and pouring out his frustration and doubt before God. Moments later he has an epiphany and everything shifts. I sensed this morning some of you might be feeling the same way as the writer of this Psalm--anxious, discouraged, afraid, so I felt led to post this quick devo to support you while you process your circumstances. I hope this encourages you. Praying for you this morning!

Send us a text Todays episode continues our coaching series on what it looks like to come alive to who God has made you to be. One in twenty Christians do not know the unique purpose for which God created them. When we do not discern our giftings or live out our calling we are in danger of living aimless lives going nowhere. We get stuck. But you are not an accident. You were put here for a reason. When you discern your unique purpose it enables you to bring your life into alignment and live a purpose filled life. This series, Come Alive, is a coaching series where I give you tools that you can use on your own, with a friend or in your small group to bring your life into alignment with the reason God placed you on this planet.

Send us a text Most people do not live their life in alignment with their core values. In fact, most people do not know what their core values are. This leads to feeling stuck or frustrated or unmotivated. But it does't have to be that way. God has uniquely shaped each one of us, and when we live according to His design we come alive. Your core values are part of His unique design for your life. In this episode we deep dive on discerning our core values and steps we can take to bring our life into alignment with them.

Send us a text So seventeen years ago I accidentally ended up in a week of intensive group processing therapy. Yep--accidentally! God has a sense of humor! Truth is it changed my life.
