There is nothing better than summer in the Northwest. As I peer over my laptop out the window at the bluest skies you’ve ever seen and the hills the greenest green, I am so grateful for this place we call home. The long, warm days invite us outside to enjoy our beautiful little corner of […]
Help a Sister Out!
You know this moment: life transition. You don’t know where anything is. Can’t find a rhythm to save your life. You go to bed at crazy hours. Workout, what’s that? Oh—you want to ask about my soul? Seriously, did I eat recently? I can’t remember. I hope you had a tribe of people to get […]
The One Time Jesus Was Angry
Our imagination is sometimes crippled when it comes to reckoning with the emotions of Jesus. One of the incredible things we believe is not just that Jesus is fully God, but that he is fully man, with all of the range of emotions and experiences that being a human being involves. Tears, laughter, frustration, and […]
Life on the Water
Summer has arrived! One of the best things about summer in Gig Harbor is the easy access to the water. As a family we love to go down to one of the beaches nearby and play in the water. And we’re even more blessed than those who own boats, because we have friends that own […]

Do-nut miss this weekend!
For all of us donut lovers (and who isn’t?) we were grieved this week to learn that one of our favorite dispensers of fat-fried dough, Pao’s donuts, had been burgled and vandalized! The horror! It is ironic because we had JUST been discussing tapping into them for our not-to-be-missed Father’s Day treat this weekend. More […]
How you can prepare for Ravi Zacharias this weekend
I’m not sure the first time I heard Ravi Zacharias on his radio show, “Let My People Think,” but it was many years ago. What I DO remember was that he had an unusual, pleasing voice and that I’d hate to have a debate with him. He would speak on campuses that were famously hostile […]

When Golf Makes a Difference
The Pau Hana Golf Tournament is fast approaching. It’s an event that reaches far beyond an afternoon of fun on the Canterwood course or dinner in the Club. It’s an opportunity to show love, support, and investment in our youth. The funds raised on June 18 go back into growth and service opportunities for our […]
This is kind of a big deal!
Ravi Zacharias is coming to Chapel Hill! That’s right, the RZ of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries will be joining us for worship on Sunday, June 10. This is kind of a big deal. Actually, Ravi coming to our church and our town is a really big deal. If you are not familiar with Ravi Zacharias, […]
Delighted hearts and open doors
The beautiful, handwritten card started out so promisingly. “My husband and I attended your beautiful church on Mother’s Day with our daughter and family who occasionally attend. It was our first visit. I am moved to share how much I enjoyed your service and sermon. “ Great so far. But it continued. “We settled into […]
