I’ve been meditating on how to share the message of the Cross in a way that’s meaningful and challenging. My latest blog, Teaching the Cross: Helping Others See, offers practical, grace-filled approaches to helping others understand and encounter Christ. It’s about invitation, not pressure—and about living out faith in everyday moments. Check it out:

Teaching the Cross: Helping Others See Its Meaning — Equipped Servant Your congregation has heard about the cross their whole lives. Here’s how to help them finally see it—and why that difference changes everything.

📖 How do you teach a 6-week series leading to Easter?
Here’s what I’ve learned: you don’t need a liturgical calendar. You need to follow the pacing the Gospels already set.
Mark dedicates nearly 40% of his Gospel to Jesus’s final week. The narrative slows down as Jesus approaches Jerusalem. When we teach this material too quickly, we work against the rhythm Scripture sets.
This week’s post walks through:
✨ A 6-week framework from wilderness to cross ✨ Why Gospel pacing matters for teaching ✨ Practical techniques for helping people absorb—not just learn—the journey ✨ The one discipline that will change how you teach this season
Whether you’re preaching, leading Sunday School, or facilitating a small group, this framework works.

📖 Why Does the Bible Feel So Ancient? 📖
You’re reading Ephesians 5:22 and freeze. “Wives, submit to your husbands”—this doesn’t sound like anything you’d say in 2026. Or you hit Leviticus and wonder what goat sacrifices have to do with your Tuesday morning.
Here’s what I want you to know: the Bible’s ancient cultural context isn’t a barrier—it’s an invitation.
✨ The incarnation proves God values cultural context
✨ Understanding John 4 transforms from “nice story” to explosive truth
✨ Cultural distance becomes a doorway, not a canyon
✨ You don’t need a PhD—just three practical steps
✨ The ancient world unlocks timeless principles for today
Share this if you’ve ever felt confused by Scripture’s cultural distance.

Why the Bible Feels Ancient (And Why That’s Good) — Equipped Servant The Bible's ancient culture isn't a barrier—it's an invitation. Learn why cultural distance helps you understand Scripture better, not worse.

A Recent Note from a Reader
"The book’s greatest strength is its refusal to offer reassurance. Instead, it invites costly discipleship and honest self-examination. You don’t ask readers to admire Jesus’s wisdom, you ask them to submit to it. That makes Kingdom Revolution feel less like a study guide and more like a call to reorientation."

📖 The Most Over-Prepared Leaders Often Run the Worst Discussions 📖
Here’s something I’ve watched happen dozens of times: A small group leader spends hours studying—commentaries, word studies, cross-references. They walk into the room bursting with insights.
And then they talk for 45 minutes while everyone else sits in polite silence.
The problem isn’t preparation. It’s preparing for the wrong thing.
Most leaders prepare to teach. Few prepare to facilitate.
This week on the blog, I’m sharing five skills that transform discussion leaders:
✨ Ask questions you don’t control ✨ Get comfortable with silence ✨ Redirect without shutting down ✨ Handle “I don’t know” with honesty ✨ Prepare what to cut
Your job isn’t to be the expert. Your job is to help people encounter Scripture together.
