Finding Hope In Trials

Last updated on: November 25, 2015 at 3:52 pm By Alyssa Bethke

Sometimes life can seem so heavy. The burdens we carry seem so big. Whether it’s small things that add up, or big issues that weigh us down. In the mundane, or the unordinary. I vividly remember spring of 2011 – I was healing from a difficult break up, while at the same time starting to rekindle a friendship with Jeff, my now husband. My heart was heavy with grief over my loss, and at the same time budding with hope... Read more

It’s Ok To Be Mad At God

Last updated on: November 25, 2015 at 9:20 am By Jefferson Bethke

There’s a weird thing a lot of us do if we are Christians, and that is never actually be honest with God. We feel like it’s somehow wrong or we feel guilty if we don’t always have a good attitude. Now of course we want to strive for right perspective and find hope amidst tough times, but it’s also quite ok to be mad at God. It’s ok to be sad. It’s ok to grieve. It’s ok to hurt. And...

What To Do When You Feel Shame

Last updated on: November 20, 2015 at 1:30 pm By Jefferson Bethke

I’m in seminary right now getting my masters, and one thing they teach you sometimes is the rule of firsts. Meaning, when something happens for the first time in scripture, it’s a hint to pay extra special attention. In the first couple chapters of Genesis we see a ton of those. The two I think we can learn a lot from though is our first response to sin, and then God’s first response to sin. You might be surprised. Watch... Read more

What If Christianity Isn’t What We Think?

Last updated on: November 17, 2015 at 1:41 pm By Jefferson Bethke

I’ve been in multiple conversations with friends or peers about God, faith, The Bible, or anything religious for that matter, and when we really get talking I hear a ton of misconceptions about who they really think Jesus is and what He actually accomplished. I usually listen and then say something to the extent of “ya if that God you’re describing was the God of the Bible I wouldn’t follow Him either.” So many times we don’t realize the thing...
