Why the Crickets
Cricket. Cricket. That’s the sound of a blog that is empty of content.
That’s been the sound here!
But for good reason.
I am finishing up the school year with my kids, which means school functions, parties, last minute admin, and fun.
Did you know I’m writing a book? I will be sharing more about the book soon, but until then the crickets here means I’m sitting in a café finishing up that manuscript. I would be so blessed if you would pray for the book as it comes to completion.
Looking Ahead
Over the next few weeks I’ll be finishing up the Wednesday series, Pastor’s Pursuing Diversity, with interviews with Dave Furman, J. D. Greer, and Robert Gelina.
I look forward to replacing the Wednesday series with a new one…to be announced soon.
Finally, I have several speaking engagements coming up this year that I look forward to sharing with you.
Bye bye crickets…soon!
Soon there will be some noise on here but until then, thank you so much for stopping by.
If you haven’t heard of or read United: Captured by God’s Vision for Diversity, I highly recommend it. 😉
RELATED CONTENT
You and I likely love God and love His Word and we desire to grow in love of God and His Word. I have had seasons of Spirit-filled, worshipful, and consistent times in the Word and seasons when reading has felt like a duty rather than a joy and delight. We all find ourselves struggling from time to time to read the Bible and interpret it correctly. And here’s the good news, that’s okay. Not only is it okay, it’s great. We want to know Him! I wrote 52 Weeks in the Word to help us learn to be consistent and feel the freedom to return when we aren't. The goal of this book isn’t to win some race or prize; we don’t earn more favor before the Lord. The goal is Bible reading…
Trillia Newbell and Dr. Danny Huerta discuss the value of our celebrating racial and cultural diversity as an expression of God’s calling upon us to share His message of love and reconciliation through Christ to people of every nation, tribe, and language, and offer parents practical guidance for celebrating as a family.l begins with an idea.
Join Drew Dyck, Randall Payleitner, and Trillia Newbell in this 90-minute virtual workshop event on Saturday, August 14, at 9:00 am (CST). You’ll learn about the publishing process at Moody Publishers, hear all about publishing from the writing process to best practices for proposals, and more. There will also be a time for Q&A for you to ask your burning questions.
I am excited to share that Moody Publishers is offering an incredible discount for Creative God, Colorful Us for your church or ministry through the month of March!
Join us as we fix our eyes on the One who sustains us and keeps us. I can’t wait to study the Bible with you!
Part of my desire to write Creative God, Colorful Us, was to help us teach the next generation. I feature chapters on the gospel, the image of God, sin and its effect on relationships, loving our neighbor, specifically those who do not look this us, and more. And how we can enjoy our beautiful, colorful, diverse family: the church. So that’s what you’ll find in Creative God, Colorful Us.
This year we are taking a different approach. Instead of studying history, we are going to walk through it.
We are focusing our attention on experiencing Black history.
If you haven’t heard, when you pre-order Creative God, Colorful Us, you have access to a special group of conversations we’re calling Colorful Us! I wanted to answer some of your frequently asked questions…
Your family is invited to learn more about the accomplishments and adversities of twelve noteworthy African American believers, including Frederick Douglass, Elizabeth Freeman, Harriet Tubman, and some others you don’t know but should.
