There are moments in life when everything makes sense. And then there are seasons when nothing seems to. You pray, but the answer does not come. You keep trying, but the breakthrough still feels far away. You do your best to remain faithful, encourage others, make good decisions, and keep moving forward, yet part of you still wonders: “God, what are You doing?” If you have ever felt that way, you are not alone. Faith is easy to talk about when life is going according to plan.

Going Deep: Stories of Christ Seen from a New Perspective Sometimes the stories we know best are the ones we need to slow down and look at again. I recently had the opportunity to appear as a guest on the Going Deep podcast for an episode titled “Stories of Christ Seen from a New Perspective.” The conversation explores familiar stories involving Jesus from a deeper human and spiritual perspective. When we already know how a story ends, it can be easy to move past the details

Peter Sank—But First, He Walked on Water Peter walking on water is one of the most familiar stories in the Bible. Most people remember what happened when Peter became afraid. He sank. But before Peter sank, Peter walked. That part matters. Jesus called Peter out of the boat, and Peter responded. He stepped onto the water while the storm was still happening around him. The wind had not stopped. The waves had not disappeared. The conditions had not suddenly become safe. Peter s

Some experiences become part of your story because they connect directly to your purpose. I had the opportunity to be on set during the filming of The Chosen, and this photo captures one of those memorable moments. What stayed with me most was not simply being around a television production. It was the reminder of what the story points people toward: Jesus Christ. That is the same purpose behind the work I continue building. For years, I have created Christian videos, Bible s

The Book of Acts is where the story of the early Church begins to move with extraordinary force. After the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ, His followers were not left without direction. The Holy Spirit came. Peter preached with courage. Thousands believed. The Church grew. Opposition intensified. Stephen stood firm. Paul was transformed. And the Gospel began moving outward from Jerusalem toward the wider world. Acts is one of the most important books in the New Te

Who Was the Apostle John? — The Complete 500,000-Word Guide The Apostle John was one of the closest followers of Jesus Christ and one of the most influential voices in the New Testament.

It was created as a deep study resource for anyone who wants to better understand John’s witness and the picture of Jesus Christ

What Would You Choose If You Walked Beside Jesus? What if you could enter the world of Jesus and discover where your own decisions would take you? I created The Kingdom at the Crossroads: An Interactive Journey Beside Jesus to make that question personal. This is not a traditional Christian book that simply asks you to read from beginning to end. You make the choices. You enter the story as Asa, a fictional courier living during the time of Jesus. As the journey unfolds, you

Who is Jesus Christ—really? That question became one of the largest projects I have ever created: Who Is Jesus Christ? The Complete One Million Word Guide Across 216 chapters and 24 Parts, this guide explores the life, teachings, miracles, relationships, confrontations, crucifixion, resurrection, and continuing significance of Jesus Christ. But the point is not simply the size of the project. The point is the opportunity to look again. To move beyond assumptions. To move beyo

What if the Gospel of Mark has far more to show us than we have ever taken the time to see? I recently completed Who Was Mark? The Complete 500,000 Word Guide to His Life, Gospel, and Witness to Jesus Christ — a 108-chapter exploration of Mark, his world, his writing, and the extraordinary picture of Jesus preserved in his Gospel. This is not a quick summary. It is a deep resource for anyone who wants to better understand: Who Mark was. Why his Gospel feels so urgent. What

This guide goes far beyond surface-level End Times discussion. Across 108 chapters, it explores Jesus Christ, biblical prophecy, the seven churches, the seals, trumpets and bowls, spiritual warfare, the beast, Babylon, judgment, the Sec

What if one of the most important moments in Christian history did not change who Jesus was—but changed how generations of Christians learned to explain Him? In A.D. 325, bishops gathered at the Council of Nicaea to confront a controversy that had spread throughout the Christian world: Who exactly is Jesus Christ, and what is His relationship to God the Father? Nearly 1,700 years later, the questions surrounding Nicaea have not disappeared. Did Emperor Constantine create a ne

If your thoughts have been racing lately, you may be carrying more than anyone around you realizes. You may be thinking about your future. Your family. Your job. Your health. Your finances. A relationship. A decision you still do not know how to make. Or something you are afraid might happen. Anxiety has a way of pulling your mind into tomorrow and making you feel responsible for solving problems that have not even arrived yet. But Jesus offers something different. His presen

Did Jesus Christ truly rise from the dead—or did one of history’s most influential movements begin with legend, grief, or religious imagination? The Argument for Jesus Christ is a free, evidence-based Christian book that investigates the historical Jesus, His crucifixion under Pontius Pilate, the earliest resurrection testimony, the reliability of the New Testament, and the extraordinary transformation of the first Christians. Jesus of Nazareth should have disappeared after R

What if the greatest victory the world has ever known didn't look anything like the world expected? How I Saved the World is a fictional first-person story told from the perspective of Jesus, inspired by the New Testament. It invites readers to reflect on the life, ministry, sacrifice, resurrection, and hope found in Christ through a fresh storytelling lens while remaining rooted in the heart of the Gospel. If you've ever wondered why Jesus came, what His mission truly accomp

No one asks for DNA evidence that Julius Caesar existed. No one demands a birth certificate for Socrates. We accept the existence of countless figures from the ancient world based on the kind of historical evidence that survives from antiquity. So why is Jesus Christ often held to a completely different standard? If you've ever wondered whether there is real historical evidence for Jesus, this article explores the historical sources, ancient testimony, archaeology, and the qu

What if Jesus served aboard the USS Enterprise?

What if Jesus became the true Dungeon Master? This is a completely fictional, faith-based fantasy adventure inspired by the classic Dungeons & Dragons animated series. Instead of simply sending heroes on dangerous quests, Jesus walks beside them, teaching courage instead of
