When the Bible Meets Disability

October 28, 2022July 24, 2025 Megan Bean

How we view disability and treat those who live with it matter. And, as with every other life topic or ethical question, our best guide is the Bible . . . All our best intentions and attempts at inclusion will miss the mark unless they grow from and by biblical truths.

Preparing for the Hard Times

September 16, 2022September 26, 2024 Megan Bean

Nothing can guarantee we'll make it through hardship without scars, slip-ups, or shaky moments. But there are things we can do to maximize our chances of suffering in a way that honors God and makes us more like Jesus. And a lot of that work begins long before the trial does.

April 26, 2021September 30, 2024 Megan Bean

Faith That Works

June 30, 2020October 1, 2024 Megan Bean

The Christian life is so much more than that one decision followed by a waiting game until eternity gets here. Faith is so much more an idea, a ticket we tote around until we get to Heavenโ€™s gate and present it for admittance.

The Way Back Home

April 10, 2020October 29, 2024 Megan Bean
