This is a message given by a friend, Tim Coen, who spoke with me at a men's retreat in October of 2025. It's profound. It explains the questions, frustrations and doubts that we feel as we desire to offer the life and gifting that God has given us for others.

When we are not living intrigued we often react to things with the expression, “whatever”.

When a wildfire is spotted, firefighters will do reconnaissance - they will get eyes-on to gather information about the fire and the surrounding environment to guide the response and ensure the safety of firefighters.

I recently gave a message for a Sunday service. I had been pondering and praying about what I was to speak on. Very quickly in that process, weeks for that Sunday, I sensed the Lord directing me to John 15, Jesus' allegory about the vine and the branches. 

For some reason, yet unknown to me, it was extremely hard for me to put it together. I couldn't get to a settled place with the message, even minutes for I was to walk on stage. Perhaps the real message was for me - to simply abide and let the l...

Much of our life is designed to be navigated by curiosity.  We certainly were curious when we were younger. For many of us, our curiosity was pushed aside by practicality and busyness, making mystery an annoyance rather than an adventure.

Curiosity is such an important and informative thing.  Perhaps a more compelling word would be fascination.  We are to live fascinated by God, by his creation, by the way things work, by people.

It's one of the most profound scriptures for believers in the New Testament, one that all of us could recite from memory and yet probably the one we doubt the most.  But, it's how it works.
