		<title>Interruptions&#8230;But that&#8217;s not part of the plan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was so excited to sit down with a friend and share a new idea I&#8217;d been working on. I was excited because I knew he would be excited and also because I needed his help to make it happen. I pulled up some stuff on my computer and started showing him the progress I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<title>It won&#8217;t always make sense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A misconception that grabs hold of people&#8217;s life when they begin to follow Jesus is that, once they become a follower of Christ, everything will make sense. The events that used to keep them up at night will suddenly become clear. The point of trials, job loss, death, rejections, etc will be delivered in an [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s at stake?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the world of story, whether its a novel, a TV show, or a movie, what&#8217;s at stake is the only way you keep your audience. If your characters have nothing at stake, you have no story. But when the main character is facing death, you have a story. When their family&#8217;s on the line&#8230;story. [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s not easy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the greatest lies of our current culture is that being successful, &#8220;making it&#8221;, reaching the top, or whatever phrase  you want to use, is that it comes easily. The climb to the top is never easy. If it were, then the top would be crowded. Now, this principle has other effects as well, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is it safe?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We live in a culture obsessed with safe. We have insurance for our houses, cars, kids and even pets. We have seat belts and 14 airbags in our cars. Our homes have alarms, dead bots and door locks. Then you have kids and it goes to an entirely new level. Safety and control are greatly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Selfish Prayers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was listening to a sermon the other day by Andy Stanley. He asked a rhetorical question that struck me very deeply sitting alone in my office. He asked: If all your prayers from last year were answered, would anyone besides you, your family, and a few sick people be better off? I didn&#8217;t have [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;They&#8221; do not decide your success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is becoming incredibly difficult in our culture to avoid noticing the &#8220;theys&#8221;. They are everywhere and constantly in front of us. - They got a raise. - They got a new book deal. -They had 4,237 baptisms yesterday. - They sold their house. - They got engaged. - They got their dream job. - [...]]]></description>

		<title>Confession: Where are the doors?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been praying and reflecting a lot on the thought to knock and the door will be opened. James told us we don&#8217;t have because we don&#8217;t ask. There are some doors I have been fervently praying will open, but alas, they remain shut. It&#8217;s almost like there are no doors at all. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>I hate waiting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Waiting. I&#8217;m not very good at it. I hate waiting. I try to pick the fastest checkout line at the grocery store. I try and choose the quickest teller at the bank. If there&#8217;s traffic slowing down on my commute, I take an alternate route. I have Amazon Prime so I can have 2 day [...]]]></description>
