The Kingdom & Money Part 5: Not Financially Aware
Money and life are inseparable! The Bible freely talks about money, its use, and its dangers. I’m sure the Bible does this because of its great importance in daily activity and our overall wellbeing. In fact, money is so inseparable from our lives that we can’t function without it. Churches can’t exist and the Kingdom would not even move ahead. Being aware of God’s thoughts on money is absolutely essential for a fruitful life.
The Kingdom & Money Part 4: Not Financially Oriented?
Understandably, many just don’t have financial thinking as a significant gift in their lives. While this, in and of itself, is not sin, it does lead to some particular problems. Men frequently believe they should be good with finances. They are quickly embarrassed when they are not highly functional in this aspect. Some are even afraid to allow their spouses to take charge. (By the way, many women are outstanding with finances and may need to lead in a family setting.)
The Kingdom & Money Part 3: Not Personally Generous
Our God has promised us an abundant life (John 10:10). Yet the vast majority of Christians live no differently than the people of the world who have no such promise. Surprisingly, many Christians do not believe God wants to prosper them and therefore have never become generous.
The Kingdom & Money Part 2: Uncomfortable with Money
To those who are uncomfortable with the topic of money, it has a habit of seeming to be right in front of them at all times. From the extreme of outrageously high salaries to the crushing poverty of those who live in great need and desperate situations, we are bombarded with money and its importance.
The Kingdom & Money Part 1: Money Matters
Money is a big deal! It’s certainly a big deal to all of us who are still working. We give roughly one-fourth of our lives to our jobs because we all know it takes money to survive at any level. From a Kingdom perspective, money is also important. Did you know that there are over 2,000 references to money in the Bible?
Science & Faith: An In-Depth Look
“How does your scientific understanding mesh with your journey of faith? Do you see those conflicting at all?
If I’ve heard that question once, I’ve probably heard it a thousand times–and it’s a good question…
Gifts to Give a Grieving Heart
What I didn’t know then was the very things that seemed to make the season merry and bright didn’t always bring tidings of comfort and joy to all. The city’s busy sidewalks may have been dressed up in holiday style to create a feeling of Christmas; but it was, nonetheless, a feeling not always felt by everyone.
The Question That Changed Christmas Day
Could one intentional question at the dinner table really shift the heart of a family? I believe wholeheartedly, YES! Let me share a quick story: A few years ago, we were gathered for the holidays at my family’s home in North Carolina.
Building Holy Spirit Fireplaces
This summer at our Vineyard National Conference, I shared that I’ve found it helpful to think of cultivating Holy Spirit ministry with the analogy of building fireplaces within our local churches. It’s easy, at times, for charismatics to pray and ask for God to send more power, believing that if we just had more anointing flowing, that would take care of whatever problems we’re facing…
Cultivating a Kingdom Family at Home
“OK, everyone! Don’t forget family devotions tonight at 7 PM. Make sure you get your homework done early. No one is allowed to miss.“ A chorus of groans rose in the household. Disgruntled faces surrounded me. I could feel the tension. No one liked family devotions. No one ever looked forward to our attempts to have a corporate ‘quiet time’ with our children.
This Is NOT Us
In my mind, there’s always a tinge of excitement when I think about the holiday decorations, the food, the time-off from work. I see my future in a warmly-lit glow in my mind as we all smile around the table… until I come back to reality and remember that my life is not an episode of This Is Us, Mandy Moore is NOT my mom…
Parable of the Talents
As I have stepped into my role at On the Journey as Social Media Specialist, occasionally I would find myself asking “what is the vision?”, and “what is my role in facilitating making the vision actually happen?”…
Never Say Never... Or Do. (God'll Have a Good Laugh!)
Ok, let’s play a game. The category is “Things you said you’d never do.” I’ll go first…
I said I’d never leave my teaching career
I said I’d never eat goat cheese or avocados
I said I’d never have more than three kids
I said I’d never never own a minivan
I said I’d never do anything that dealt with social media other than post pics for my family
2019 Benelux Trip Recap
Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg collectively form one Association of Vineyard Churches—the structure that the Vineyard uses for it’s national movements. Termed the Benelux Vineyard, these three countries just north of France and Germany have seen a fascinating and chaotic history…
The On the Journey Vision
I hope you’ve found On the Journey helpful! We’re excited to be able to share quality content that helps each of us on the adventure God has for us. It’s been fun to see how we can use current tools and platforms (Email, Facebook, Website, hopefully more to come soon!) to connect the Church together and learn how to do this thing in a more connected and collaborative way.
2019 AUSTRALIA TRIP RECAP
I’m writing this blog post at 5:30 in the morning because jet lag woke me up at 4:00am. Adjusting to a fifteen hour time shift will do that to you…but it’s a small price to pay for being able to join the Father in what he’s doing around the globe. #worthit
COMING OUT OF HIDING
I’ve always loved the back row. I felt safe there, hidden. School, church, ministry, projects, you name it... and I showed up there and hid in the back row…
LET’S “DTR” WITH OUR FAITH
Defining the Relationship” with our faith can be a struggle. You see, Jesus calls us to a paradoxical faith—in, but not of, the world…
3 PRACTICAL WAYS TO ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY FAITH
I believe the familiar is a faith killer, and if I’m not careful, I can reserve faith for ministry moments instead of receiving faith for everyday moments…
Infidelity & The Church Series
Nobody likes to acknowledge that Christians can find themselves in this place, but it happens. Engage with this series as Cassie vulnerably shares the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to walking this stuff out in the church.

Doris had a rare retinal disease since she was a child. This disease made her vision very cloudy and blurry, and would also put a web-like structure over her vision. She recently had Covid and everything got worse and she developed arthritis throughout her body, which is actually linked to her rare disease. This day at the conference, she could barely see.
