    Back to school amid trauma and division

    Our world is flooded with trauma, injustice and division, and sending our kids back to school in the midst of this polarized cultural moment can feel a bit like we are sending them to the front lines of war. Will our kids be able to withstand the cultural pressures they face in the classroom?

  • From iconic strip club to Freedom Center

    From iconic strip club to Freedom Center

    Through God’s grace, the help of several investors, and too many miracle stories to count, our church was recently able to acquire and permanently shut down one of San Diego’s most iconic and long-standing strip clubs that was for sale.

    If 424,000 kids were roaming the streets, would you help?

    If 424,000 children were wandering our neighborhoods and streets in need of food and shelter, I imagine that many of us would respond immediately. We would open our homes for the night and provide a temporary shelter for these children.

    Chauvin verdict and racial reconciliation as God's agenda

    Personally, God has led me on a journey of healing my own pain due to racism.

    The question I keep asking myself

    This is why I keep asking myself the question, “How do you tell a story that has been told for over two thousand years?” Not because this story needs any more fluff or impressive details, and not because it needs a cool new set design or stage effects. We don’t need a better story; we as Christians need to be better listeners.

  • Crossing the road of racial divide

    Importantly, Black History Month is about more than just a month, and it is about more than just history. Black History Month is about our future.

    What do Dior Air Jordans have to do with being a peacemaker?

    What do Air Jordans and the NBA have to do with being a peacemaker, you ask? During this intensely divided political moment, it is more important than ever that Christians recognize the power of introducing a different set of rules to the game.

  • Why Christmas?

    Why Christmas?

    So, how should we react to a difficult year? What if our response wasn’t merely attempting to cover up the pain, but to view God in light of who He is in all His goodness and then respond accordingly?

  • Your candidate won or lost. Now what?

    Your candidate won or lost. Now what?

    But it’s time for believers to show our true “color,” and it’s not red or blue. It’s the color of the Kingdom.

  • Red or blue, what would Jesus do?

    Red or blue, what would Jesus do?

    What would His reaction be to this election season? He would model how to love those who vote differently. He would demonstrate love with those who have opposing beliefs.
