Blessings: The Fruit of Fasting
At the end of another 21-day Daniel Fast, I still felt like I was in the Pit of Despair. In fact, things got worse over the course of the fast and afterwards. I was feeling like I had eaten something that had sharply disagreed with me when I passed out and hit my head. Regaining…

Whining to God
Have you ever whined to God? Be honest. Even after seeing the walls of Jericho fall down and succeeding in battle there with no losses, Joshua whined to God when “the men of Ai killed about thirty-six of their men” (Joshua 7:5, ESV).1 Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his…

“Go Now to Shiloh”
I first felt called to obey this command seven years ago. In fact, Brett and I did go to Israel that year, but the Shiloh excavation didn’t start until afterwards.
