Meaningful ministry over a coffee cup

Over pumpkin spice lattes, a young woman asked me about the meaning of baptism. Over green tea, a sorority girl celebrated the reality that in Christ she is made new.

A vessel shaped by the Master Potter

A girl and two guys came in the coffee shop and sat at the table across from me. After watching them take pictures of each other, I offered to take one of the three of them. They enthusiastically thanked me.

Seeing the fruit of labor in Alaska

Bible story time came around, and the college students acted out the parable of the Good Samaritan. The kids loved it. One of them, A. J., asked Stuart if there were more stories like that one in the Bible.

God knits hearts together

There are four other women and five godly men on the Resonate Church staff, and already deep connections have been made as they have welcomed and served me freely. How can people capture your heart in a matter of days? The love of Christ is a powerful thing.
