I Will Miss You, Tony
Tony Campolo passed away last week, and though I'm a bit late, I want to acknowledge his powerful contribution to Christian thought around the world and to my own life personally. I never had the chance to meet him or hear him speak in person, but decades ago, his books and recordings challenged and... Read More
Featured Book: He Loves Me
As we approach the end of the calendar year we thought it would be good to highlight a few of Wayne's books available here through Lifestream, and we're offering a couple ways to save a little bit, too. Over the next few weeks we'll highlight a couple books per week, and offer bulk discounts... Read More
An Angel at My Door
If you haven’t heard the podcast from last week or read this blog, you may not appreciate all that's happening here. I’m currently battling bone cancer that destroyed vertebrae in my back, causing me to have surgery there. But yesterday, I think I caught an angel on my Ring camera. I had been battling... Read More

How Do You Withdraw Love?
I'll provide a health update after I share this brief quote that crossed my computer this morning and stirred my heart. This is a more profound treasure in the mine of love. You cannot fairly hope in God's gracious love towards you in your brokenness if you also don't share it with those who... Read More
Taking Some Time to Heal
For all our best laid hopes and plans, it’s the things you don’t see coming that have the most profound impact in how life unfolds Sara and I have a few detours thrown our way over our lifetimes, which has helped us to live feely in the present and not too dismayed when times... Read More
Chapter 10: Only One Thing Matters
Note: This is the tenth in a series of letters written for those living at the end of the age, whenever that comes in the next fifteen years or the next one hundred and fifty years. Once complete, I’ll combine them into a book. You can access the previous chapters here. If you are... Read More
The Prayers of a Just Person
Most of you will be familiar with James 5:16, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” What springs to mind when you think of this Scripture? Doesn’t it seem that our sinlessness is a pre-condition to having an effective prayer life? But that doesn’t make any sense if the process of... Read More
Oops again!
I am really embarrassed to say that the God Journey After-Show we had scheduled with Tobie van der Westhuizen from South Africa next weekend has had to be delayed another week. He informed me yesterday that he had an irresolvable scheduling conflict that would prevent him from joining us that day. He was profoundly... Read More
Thank You, Thank You, and Oops!
I’ve got two quick things to update you on. First, we are so grateful for those who have responded to the need in Kenya to rescue the orphanage we built fifteen years ago. Torrential rains have caused the land to shift, and without your help, the government would have shut it down. In just... Read More
Living Loved on Steroids
It feels like someone walked into my office and unfurled a treasure map on my desk. "There's gold there," he said, waving his hand across the aged parchment. It was more a puzzle than a map. There were no hills, rivers, or oceans but words, images, and symbols. It looked familiar, but I couldn't... Read More
Devastation in Kenya Continues
The torrential rains that destroyed the crops in North Pokot a few months ago now threaten to wash out the original orphanage we helped to build in 2009. If you remember the story, we helped rescue 45 orphans from a slum near Eldoret who were living in their sewage. Thanks to your generosity, we... Read More
Fierce Hope and Power Unleashed
These books couldn't be more different. One is a memoir of a woman whose young husband's unfaithfulness destroys all her dreams and hopes and how God rebuilt her life in the aftermath. The other is a fictional story about a woman who must fight with everything in her to rescue the world from the... Read More
Seeing the End from the Beginning
Many of you wrote me about the videos I shared of Sara's new garden. It is a joy to live in the middle of this. But there's another story here. Sara saw this garden before we ever moved into his house and if you saw what the yard looked like when we bought the... Read More
Chapter 9: Eyes to See, Ears to Hear
Note: This is the ninth in a series of letters written for those living at the end of the age, whenever that comes in the next fifteen years or the next one hundred and fifty years. Once complete, I’ll combine them into a book. You can access the previous chapters here. If you are... Read More
Do You Want to Talk with Me?
The last few years have brought a lot of change to the trajectory of my journey. Living loved is taking me to places I've never considered and brought more joy and fullness to my life than I've ever known. I've shared most of the changes in that journey on the weekly podcast as well... Read More
