2 Chronicles 7:14 is not God handing out a technique for managing public crisis. It is God speaking to a covenant people whose spiritual life has grown disordered. It is not mainly about controlling outcomes. It is about returning to the God they have drifted from. It is not about earning intervention. It is about becoming the kind of people who can receive healing from the inside out.

There are seasons in life when faith cannot survive on borrowed language. What once felt familiar may begin to feel thin. Easy answers no longer satisfy. Religious habits that once gave comfort may begin to feel too small for the ache, beauty, grief, and wonder of actual life. And in that place, many people fear they are losing faith, when in truth they may be standing at the threshold of a deeper one. Not a smaller faith. Not a looser faith. Not a faith emptied of substance.

Again and again, God reveals that what He desires most is not the kind of strength the world applauds. He is not searching for people who can impress Him with their capacity. He is looking for hearts that will trust Him. He is not drawn to self-made power. He delights in faithfulness.

America has become a people more eager to unite against an enemy than to unite around God. We know how to identify threats, expose corruption, denounce error, defend our tribe, and sharpen our outrage. We know how to speak with fire about what is wrong with the world. But too often we have forgotten how to burn with the love of God. Too often we have mistaken suspicion for discernment, hostility for holiness, and public anger for spiritual courage.

We live in an anxious world. Many of us carry a quiet sense of pressure through our days. We worry about family, health, finances, work, current events, and the future. Even in moments of rest, our minds can keep racing. Anxiety has a way of making life feel unsteady. That is why Psalm 23 remains such a gift.

Ultimately, the goal of this piece is for us to begin to understand the danger and meaning behind the words we choose to use to describe Islam and Judaism within the world today. Because when we go about this out of ignorance, culture wars, patriotism, or some other faulty theological ideology, we not only cause harm to others, but potentially mock our own faith as well. 

To do so would have been dangerous to my own soul because I would have believed that my truest self had arrived. Nothing would be further from the truth. My credentialed self would have arrived, but my true self would have remained lost. To wrap one’s identity in that which is fleeting is the beginning of the illusion. The truest profession you can have is your own self, with all the joys and flaws that come with it.

Every year at this time, we try to look back at a common theme we have either seen or addressed or both. This year, there has been a consistent topic that has come back time and time again on both the Misfits programming and within the KFM Network as a whole: that the will of God is the redemption of all mankind. So for Advent this year, we wanted to take some time and reflect on how this fits into the Advent season. 

Christians dont have enemies, we have neighbors. This is the most misunderstood teaching of Jesus coming out of Matthew 5. Because the call to love our enemies is actually a call to see them as neighbors instead.

There is a reason superhero and supervillain narratives do so well at the box office. It feeds a desire we all have as humans. But is this desire a part of how God wants us to live, or is it a part of the sinful nature of humanity? One of my favorite classes I have ever taken was an elective I took in my senior year of High School. In the first semester, we read the classic Greek and Roman Myths, and then in the second semester, we spent the year exploring the world of Comic

I want to make it clear that I have no problem with traditional local churches. Even though my own spiritual journey seems to be moving away from them, it might have never began without them. If the least that can said is that I gained an awareness of Jesus from those places, then that is enough. There may be no better foothold than that. No matter where our paths have taken us since then, many of us who have emerged from such spaces cannot deny we owe the traditional local c

If I had to describe this experience, or even define it now, I would say that church is the awareness of all people as image bearers of God, manifested in the intentional practice of God’s economy among them. The currency of this divine economy is love-given freely, not as transaction but as transformation, so that in each person, a creative personhood might be built up. One that reflects Christ while remaining wholly itself.

What if suffering isn’t proof that God is absent, but evidence that the Lord Jesus Christ is present in a deeper way, allowing us to experience His love amid the evil in the world?

As Easter approaches, we start to lean in again toward the cross, toward the empty tomb, toward the hope that it all means something deeper

This Lenton season, as we watch the powers of the earth swirl out of control, let us make the same declaration Dismus does in Luke 23!

Our relationship with God is designed to flow out into the world and community around you. However, it starts between YOU and GOD...

Prayer, in all its forms, is an invitation into relationship. It is less about saying the right words and more about drawing near to God.

Prayer is one of the most powerful tools given to believers, and Jesus Himself demonstrated its significance through the Lord’s Prayer.
