Shifting With The Landscape
The pace of change is accelerating. How do we best equip and “future-proof” our children for our continually shifting world? It’s no news that the pace of change is accelerating. The amount of information available at our fingertips, the ways we communicate and interact with the world, the development of technology and AI – it’s…
God Is Still Sovereign
Do we really believe that God is sovereign? Reflections on our current environment on the eve of the 2020 US election and why I am holding on to hope. I am feeling encouraged. This is in significant contrast to how I felt even a few months ago and certainly from how I have felt for…
