		<description><![CDATA[We live in a culture that celebrates femininity and criticizes manliness. If you need proof, look no further than the drastic increase in popularity of cats over dogs.* Cats, for the sake of argument, are the model of femininity. Soft. Dignified. They purr when you cuddle them. They keep their bathrooms neat. They plot against [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to share a little bit from my heart (really our hearts) as it relates to the future of our small groups. As many of your know, Matt has been challenging our church to go deeper and for each of our members and attenders to take on more ownership as we move forward. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I keep having this recurring daydream where the entire United States economy collapses onto itself and I can no longer afford to buy diapers. Call it a daymare perhaps. I know it’s based in fear. It’s certainly not based in trust and commitment to God’s goodness and love. It’s a fear that my security will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite all the affected teenage rebellion, I continued to call myself a Christian into my early twenties. When I finally stopped, it wasn’t because being a believer made me uncool or outdated or freakish. It was because being a Christian no longer meant anything. It was a label to slap on my Facebook page, next [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[from Megan Pulver. Oprah&#8217;s spiritual views are often said to make people feel good about themselves, so naturally, they’re appealing.  She claims that we find our spiritual power by getting in touch with our inner selves. But what does Jesus say? Is it our inner self that provides us with the wisdom and power to live [...]]]></description>

But as I prepare some of our teaching materials for Palm Sunday and the week leading up to the cross I can’t help but have a heavy heart. There [...]]]></description>

Each week Mike Holmes takes on a project that was done incorrectly (or left unfinished) and &#8220;makes it right.&#8221; I was watching a few nights ago and I [...]]]></description>

Either way, here&#8217;s why I haven&#8217;t been around: In January, we launched our new Ministry Center. This building is used for Children&#8217;s Ministry on Sunday mornings and small groups throughout the week. It features two theatres and a complete streetscape [...]]]></description>
