Testing
This summer has been busy, but good. Between writings gigs, speaking opportunities, school stuff, and podcast conversations I have talked with some great people, read some fascinating books, and had hours of time to reflect. I’ve had the privilege to work on some lighter topics such as self-development but
Since my controversial post last week, a number of people reached out with a message that went something like this, “Ezra, I agree with what you’re saying and think it’s important but I don’t feel I’m in the best position to share what you said publicly.
What happened at the capitol on January 6th was despicable. A couple of points up front. No, I was not there. Yes, thousands marched in peaceful protest. Some of them were my friends who have strong misgivings about the integrity of the recent U.S. election. In many respects, I
Author George MacDonald was one of the greatest literary geniuses of his era. Using fiction to drive home great theological truths, his writings continue to be widely read to this day. According to the great C.S. Lewis, there is “hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or

I’m guessing that by now you are getting pretty tired of the negativity on social media. Aside from the 2016 US election cycle, it’s hard to remember a time in recent history when Americans (including Christians) have been more at each other’s throats. Here are some of
Like many in our nation, I was sickened to hear about the shooting of Ahmed Arbery. An innocent black man senselessly gunned down, all while he was out for a jog. Racism exists. The question then becomes, what can we as Christians do about it? What is a Christlike response?
So the other day I was meditating on Philippians 2 – again! It seems like I just can’t get away from this passage. And while it’s easy to rightfully focus on the first few verses (the Kenosis passage as it’s called), as I listened to this chapter on
