The Bereans Blogs

Welcome to The Bereans Blog — my personal collection of faith reflections, devotionals, and stories inspired by Scripture and everyday life.

Every article here is written by me, drawing from my own experiences, observations, questions, and study of God’s Word. Some begin with an ordinary encounter. Others begin with history, science, culture, or a difficult question. But each is an attempt to examine life through the lens of Scripture and to ask what God may be teaching us through it.

You’ll find moments of faith woven through the ordinary — lessons discovered in unexpected places, questions worth wrestling with, and reminders that biblical truth reaches far beyond Sunday morning.

You’ll also find reflections connected with my creative journey, including Pushing Glass and other stories from my life.

These are not the writings of a staff, ministry team, or group of contributors. They are one person’s continuing journey of thinking, questioning, learning, and testing what I encounter against the Word of God.

Click below to read the latest reflections. May each one encourage you to search the Scriptures for yourself and draw you closer to the One who gives them life.

All older blogs (>2500) can be accessed through the Archives.

A Prayer That Connected Two Continents (Matthew 5:16)

Taormina was our final stop on our two-week journey through Sicily. We had looked forward to visiting this beautiful town, especially the ancient Greek Theatre, Isola Bella, and the hilltop village of Castelmola. Unfortunately, the weather had other plans. It rained much of the time, and we never made it to Isola Bella or Castelmola. … Continue reading A Prayer That Connected Two Continents (Matthew 5:16)

What Lies Beneath the Surface? (1 Samuel 16:7)

Just a month before we visited Mount Etna in Sicily, the volcano had erupted, with lava flowing down its slopes. I wondered what it would be like to stand on an active volcano so soon after an eruption. We took a cable car partway up the mountain and then continued in a specially equipped vehicle … Continue reading What Lies Beneath the Surface? (1 Samuel 16:7)

When the Earth Shakes, Will You? (2 Corinthians 4:8–9)

During our recent trip to Sicily, we spent a day visiting three beautiful towns: Noto, Ragusa, and Modica. Each had magnificent Baroque churches, ornate facades, towering columns, and beautifully decorated interiors. After visiting so many churches throughout Sicily, I wondered what made these three towns so special. I soon discovered that they shared something remarkable. … Continue reading When the Earth Shakes, Will You? (2 Corinthians 4:8–9)
