Nobody Builds a Tower Without Counting the Cost First Jesus once asked a strange little question to a crowd that was following Him for all sorts of reasons. He said, if you wanted to build a tower, wouldn’t you sit down first and figure out whether you actually had enough to finish it? Because nothing […]

Every life is made up of doors. We rarely notice this until we’re standing in front of one that won’t budge. Doors are not optional in a life well lived. They are how we enter and how we leave—a room, a season, a relationship, a calling. Where there is no door, there is no way

The word mandate sounds heavy, official, like something you’d find stamped on a government letter. And in a sense, that’s exactly what it is.
