Yesterday evening, while the Youth met with Anita Hostetler and Abby Talbott, Tim and I joined Ryan Hostetler, Sue Lee, and Caleb and Brittney Planck and many members of The Rock church for a time of worship and intercessory prayer for our city, state and nation on the Union County courthouse steps. It was a […]
COVID-19 isn’t going away any time soon. Perhaps you’ve heard rumors that restrictions will get tighter and seen states like California shutting down once again and have become discouraged. Or the new mask restrictions rub you the wrong way. Perhaps you’re simply reeling at the state of our country or political atmosphere (or the state […]
Are any of you having trouble forgiving the person that came to mind during Pastor Conrad’s sermon last Sunday? I want you to know that you are not alone. Forgiveness isn’t easy and like some of you, I’m struggling to forgive the person that came to my mind. Cognitively, I understand why I need to […]

From angry Facebook posts and comments to irate news reporters, it’s almost impossible to get through the day without encountering anger in some form. Results of a study done in by Gallup in 2018 showed that 1 in […]
My heart is heavy. In the past week, I’ve seen things on the news that I never thought I’d see in my lifetime. I’ve seen innocent people hurt, tear gassed, and killed. I’ve seen riots, violent clashes, and people in agony, both physical and psychological. Our nation is fractured along racial and political lines. People […]
I’m going to be honest with you. I have had a very dark week. Each day has been a struggle emotionally and physically. One minute, I’m feeling okay, the next I’m bored to the very depths of my soul, and then the next my depression has crept in and my mind becomes slow and foggy […]
