		<description><![CDATA[Not all that long ago, I couldn’t possibly make sense of a “Good God” creating, causing, or even allowing evil. Yet there it is, in black and white. How could God claim a nature of unfailing love while simultaneously overlooking rampant, uninhibited, preventable evil? It sure sounded schizophrenic and cruel. But lately I’ve been learning some things that are transforming my perspective. While I’m still not comfortable with evil that causes pain in people’s lives, I’m beginning to have a new view of its source and purpose. Check out what I am learning...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you ever struggle with loving others? Is it easier to judge, criticize, polarize, and reject than to overlook weaknesses, bless, and embrace? Do you ever feel like your heart is more like a block of wood than a living, feeling part of you? If so, find out what God recently revealed to me as a key to loving others. You might be surprised...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My Christmas gift to you. It’s finally time to uncover the glorious conclusion about our “Jesus as a regular Joe” series. What is this all about? What is the point I am trying to make in suggesting that Jesus might just be more one of us…or we might just be more “one of him”…than we once thought? I hope you'll bask in the joy of the discovery of who you are.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today our goal is to explore three Bible words/concepts that have been mistranslated and misconstrued, giving us a distorted sense of the real Jesus and what he also urged his followers to become. What can we learn about the sinlessness, righteousness, and perfection of Jesus that will give us new understanding? Come find out--you may be surprised.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was always skeptical about the claims of Mary Magdalene possibly being a disciple of Jesus’ or, much more blasphemous, the wife and lover of Jesus! My old Jesus was not allowed to love a woman or, God forbid, make babies! Besides, I thought, there is NO SUCH EVIDENCE for such a thing except maybe by people with overblown imaginations or a desire to stir up trouble. But then...I found out that, in fact, there was historical evidence of another viewpoint. Join us in this week's search for a more authentic understanding of the real Jesus...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Imagine with me for a few paragraphs…what if. What if Jesus was a lot different than the story we have today—one that has morphed and enhanced over two millennia? What if, instead, Jesus was more of a regular guy—albeit certainly a guy with a unique anointing and mission? Would it necessarily change anything about his importance and crucial role in The Story for any of us? Get challenged today!]]></description>

While you and I cannot prevent death or loss, we can each make the lifelong journey of others a little less lonely, fearful, and devastating through the Hebrew notion of "tikkun olam." Come find out what that means...]]></description>
