The Greatest Showman’s Incredible Music
I haven’t been able to stop listening to The Greatest Showman soundtrack for like two weeks. This album is the height of what melody is meant to be and it has greatly inspired me to write some new music. But perhaps more powerful than the entire movie and soundtrack is somehow their rehearsal for the movie.…

The Delayed Return of Jesus
C.S. Lewis once remarked that Jesus saying he’d return within a generation was, “certainly the most embarrassing verse in the Bible.” While Lewis’ words are a bit brash, at least he was honest about his feelings.

Mary’s Magnificat
Watching inexpressible joy swell up inside someone is a wonderful thing to witness. You may recall seeing it happen to Mary in the Christmas story. One moment she’s talking to her relative Elizabeth about how God has supernaturally blessed her with a baby and the next she’s bursting into song (Lk 1:39-56). It makes for…

Scribes & Widows
Jesus said death was ahead of him at Jerusalem and now it almost seems like he’s calling it out to come fight him. First he flips tables full of money at the temple; then he calls the Pharisees out on their hypocrisy; then he tells the Saducees that they’re, “Quite wrong”; and now he calls…
