God isn’t afraid of our questions.

Why I’m ditching significance for surrender.

Remembering the first Thanksgiving in North America.

Among the lessons we learned in the early years of officership was the importance of volunteers and community engagement in the mission of the Army. Not only did it impact our lives, but it exponentially increased the capacity of the corps to make a difference.

Four pitfalls to avoid as a new officer.

Thriving? Vibrant? Energized? How would you describe your corps as you ramp up for rally day and the new year ahead?

I don’t know what my curly-haired, mud-princess will be. But I do know she’s learning that the dreams the Holy Spirit has placed within her can take flight.

The Salvation Army needs more music. That simple truth was brought home to me some years ago through the inspired insight of a young Salvationist.

I’ve noticed an alarming trend in The Salvation Army, and the church in general. When young people in our corps reach a certain age—usually around 16 to 18—more and more are simply vanishing from our doors. They might reappear from time to time, but they never stay. Why are we losing this generation? A generation that will one day run our Army? 

Are Christians today still people of the good news? Or have we reduced the gospel message to include only those who look and think like us? These are questions the church needs to wrestle with, and in doing so, we can find a helpful guide in Bruxy Cavey’s new book, Reunion: The Good News of Jesus for Seekers, Saints and Sinners.
