I remember a skit from when I went to university in the '90s. I was in Campus Crusade for Christ (I even emceed our big meetings for a good while), and this play featured a silent Jesus following a college student everywhere they went--studying, partying, going to church, etc. The point, as I remember it, being: … Continue reading Love is Everything and Everywhere
I believe: Love actually … Is the fundamental nature of reality. Believes the best. Is our native tongue. Bridges divides. Is messy. Speaks life. Never ends. Is the flow of the universe. Leads. Does little things that make big differences. Includes … beyond what/who we’d prefer. Stretches us. Empowers. Gives. Receives. Is playful. Lifts up. … Continue reading Love Actually …
Beautiful People, I'm SO excited. Not only did the press release for my self-published memoir go out yesterday (you can check the book out here: https://amzn.to/342nhIC), I just started school to get a Doctorate in Spiritual Formation to become a life coach! So, between the book coming out, my future in life coaching, and ongoing … Continue reading Blog Move, News, & 3 Beautiful Gifts of Christianity to Humanity
One of the next tattoos I’m planning to get is “Love Alone”, inspired by Hans Urs von Balthasar’s (what a glorious name!) phrase and book title, Love Alone is Credible. You see, a Truth that’s radically altered my life is “God is Love”. While there are many things said about the Divine, and there’s quite … Continue reading Love is the Point: 4 Ways Divine Love Makes Life Amazing
I’ve got issues. While Jesus has always been my jam, for a long time I thought God more than disliked me. Worth, belonging, and love are fundamental human needs and I was convinced when it came to our Creator and Ultimate Reality, I’d struck out on all three accounts (as had everyone else). I now realize this … Continue reading LIES WE BELIEVE ABOUT GOD PART 5
When love is the way -- unselfish, sacrificial, redemptive -- when love is the way, then no child will go to bed hungry in this world ever again. When love is the way, we will let justice roll down like a mighty stream, and righteousness like an ever-flowing brook. When love is the way, poverty … Continue reading Lies We Believe About God Part 4
For most of my early adulthood I was caught in a vicious cycle of porn addiction that was, in part, brought on by my image of God. You see, I thought our Creator’s default state was NOT liking me and sending me to hell, and ANY mistake I made in life was something God took … Continue reading Lies We Believe About God Part 3
I shared recently that I’m a recovering porn addict. A HUGE part of this slavery was mistaken, yet QUITE common, views I had about God. While in my addiction I was SUPER concerned with being correct about things, in my freedom and life I’m more interested in being connected. The rewriting of what I think … Continue reading Lies We Believe About God Part 2
Hi, my name is Lang and I’m a recovering porn addict. While there’s definitely no singular reason for this, and I accept full responsibility for my decisions, a really BIG reason behind my addiction was lies I believed about God. I think these common and widespread untruths keep us fearful, anxious, and divided, holding us … Continue reading Lies We Believe About God Part 1
