Tim Shorey, one of our staff writers, is journaling through his struggle with stage 4 cancer. In this entry, God is always doing more than we can perceive from the outside.

Have you poured your heart, identity, and affections into something that can be threatened by the moths, by the rust of the earth, by thieves who break in and steal? 

A verse you've read fifty times can suddenly knock the wind out of you on the fifty-first, not because the words changed, but because you did.

Gospel-Centered Discipleship is excited to announce the launch of our latest book: Pause to Reset: a Forty-Day Journey from Chaos to Calm by Rusty McKie.

The good news is that there is one true and unending fairytale —with a hero who came along and changed the narrative of history for all who believe.

As we walk with the Lord, learning to practice and navigate spiritual disciplines, we learn to love him because we are loved by him.

When your children get older and move on, you will never regret a day spent together in the most important spiritual disciplines.

When we’re worried, may we look out and remember the birds and the flowers, tangible reminders that though we don’t have control over tomorrow, God does.

In Jesus Christ we see the One who notices the overlooked, welcomes strangers to his table, carries our grief, and lays down his life to bring us into the family of God. Through his death and resurrection, he is not only showing us a beautiful way to live—he is making that life possible.

In this moment, the Holy Spirit did what mere words could not—He applied the gospel’s message like a balm to the souls of the gospel’s hearers.

In short, because Jesus lives, everything matters. And because he lives, I will one day feel his warm embrace and hear his merciful “well done.”

Discipleship is a matter of the heart. Start there. Trust in God. Delight in the Lord. He will give you the desires of your heart. He will use you to make disciples in ways you don’t expect and might never see.
