You Can’t Do It Alone
Dear steward,
It’s been one of those months.
I was out of town most of last week working on a new project. Then, I came home to a cold house and a broken boiler, which required us to move out of the house while we wait for it to get fixed. Then, I had jury duty and got picked to serve on a trial that is still dragging on nearly a week later. I’m supposed to be taking a week off for family vacation next week. All the while, I have deadlines to meet, emails to answer, a community to manage, interviews to give, promises to fulfill, a chicken coop to build, a family to serve, talks to prepare, and…
…a newsletter to write.
It’s been a good reminder that I can’t do this alone. And neither can you.
If you’re also experiencing a hectic season, I hope you’ll take a moment to read the article I wrote this week that you’ll find some encouragement in it.

Weekly Word
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.”
– 2 Corinthians 4:7
God works through our weakness, not in spite of it. He does this because His object in using flawed creatures like you and me to accomplish His will is not because he needs our help or our productivity but because He wants to magnify His glory through us.
Worth Your Time
- The Theology of Work and the Stay-at-Home Mom (7 mins) Shiprah shares an encouraging word for stay-at-home moms.
- When the Paychecks Stop: Spiritual Care for the Unemployed (5 mins) “What the unemployed need—beyond job leads and résumé workshops—is a renewed understanding of who they are in God’s economy and how their worth transcends their productivity.”
- Option Rot (5 mins) This is an excellent reminder that every decision is a tiny murder. “Optionality promises freedom but delivers paralysis. It offers endless paths but leaves us stranded at the crossroads. The more doors we leave open, the less we walk through any of them. And slowly, imperceptibly, those doors close and the options begin to rot.”
Words of Wisdom
“As followers of Christ, we are called to be wise and discerning in our use of time. Let us not be careless or foolish, but rather understand the importance of every moment. May we dedicate ourselves to seeking God’s will and making the most of the opportunities He grants us.”
– Jerome (347–420 AD)
