  • When Things Don't Go As Planned

    When Things Don't Go As Planned
    2026/01/21
    Plans fall apart. Sometimes in small, inconvenient ways. Sometimes in ways that change everything. In this first episode of *Between Sundays*, I reflect on what happens when life doesn’t cooperate — from a missed appointment to events no amount of preparation could ever prevent. Panic feels natural in those moments, but it isn’t inevitable. While we can’t control much of what happens to us, we *can* control our outlook, our attitude, and our actions. A short reflection on preparation, perspective, and choosing steadiness when the day goes off script.

  • We Don't Cause Growth

    We Don't Cause Growth

    Between Sundays — We Don’t Cause Growth We often talk about growth as something we produce. We grow businesses. We grow families. We grow churches. We grow ourselves. But growth doesn’t actually work that way. In this episode of Between Sundays, I reflect on the difference between causing growth and tending the conditions where growth is possible. Using the simple picture of a farmer and a seed, we explore the limits of our control — and the responsibility we still carry. This is a quiet conversation about patience, stewardship, and humility. About parenting, spiritual formation, and life in general. And about learning to do the work that is ours… while releasing the outcomes that never were.

  • Pressure Doesn't Change You

    Pressure Doesn't Change You

    We often say things like “money changes people” or “pressure brings out a different side of them.” But what if that isn’t true? In this episode of Between Sundays, I challenge the idea that success, hardship, or stress fundamentally changes who we are. Instead, I explore a quieter—and more uncomfortable—truth: pressure doesn’t create character, it reveals it. Using a simple illustration and everyday examples of money, stress, and scarcity, this reflection asks what’s really being exposed when life squeezes us. If two people face the same pressure and respond differently, maybe the pressure isn’t the source at all. This episode isn’t about fear of change—it’s about preparation for it. Because pressure is inevitable. Success and hardship both arrive in time. And the real work happens long before either shows up.

  • Funerals Are For the Living

    Funerals Are For the Living
    2026/02/26
    n this episode of Between Sundays, Chris reflects on attending — and delivering the eulogy at — his uncle’s funeral, and why moments like these force us to confront the questions we usually avoid. Modern culture often turns funerals into celebrations meant to soften grief, but what if we’re missing their deeper purpose? Funerals have a way of cutting through distraction and reminding us of what truly matters: our relationship with God, our relationships with the people we love, and the reality that time is far more limited than we assume. This is a quiet conversation about mortality, perspective, reconciliation, and the priorities that come into focus when life pauses long enough for us to see clearly. Because funerals aren’t really about the dead — they’re for the living.
