  • Impasse Island

    There you are, gazing off the port side, 2,400,000 meters beneath the surface of the water, transfixed by what should be impossible. It is beautiful and terrifying all at once. Innumerable creatures glow as though lit by a black light, while shipwreckage lies scattered across the ocean floor like the remains of forgotten worlds. What…

  • Setting Sail: Practicing Providence in the Mind Before the Keyboard

    As I think about what it means to move forward in my writing at Time for Providence, I find myself praying in the Spirit: “Lord, help me discover the creativity to tell the stories of Your providence in a way that draws people to the love and truth of Your Word.” Lately the Lord has…

  • Do Not Be Quickly Shaken: Holding the Helm in a Synthetic Storm

    (Mark 13:21–22; 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12 — NASB 1995) There’s a kind of shaking that doesn’t come from earthquakes.It comes from the screen.

  • Setting Sail for the Throne of Grace

    There are days my faith feels like a voyage—wind in the sails, waves beneath the hull, and an unseen destination drawing me forward. I look at the horizon of my own life and realize something sobering: I am always moving. The only question is toward what—and by what compass. Scripture does not invite us to…

  • The Far Horizon and the Near Savior

    Accessing the Divine Through Transcendence—Without Losing the Gospel There’s a reason a sailing ship at sea feels “spiritual” to so many of us. Alone on open water, under a sky that looks endless, you feel it: smallness, wonder, vulnerability, longing. The horizon is both invitation and warning. It calls you forward, but it also reminds…
