Condemnation in Crisis
Condemnation in Crisis
There’s something about the COVID-19 pandemic that breeds guilt. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been feeling guilty that I’m not sick, guilty that I’m not a healthcare worker, guilty for the food in my cart, the money in my bank account, the time I have, the time I’m wasting. The […]
Living Christ in Covid Quarantine
Living Christ in Covid Quarantine
It was 2am in France when I was startled awake by my phone exploding with text messages. I rolled over to silence it when I noticed what they were about. Trump had issued a travel ban from Europe, effective in 2 days. I checked my inbox knowing what I […]

My Best Love
My Best Love
I was 6 years old when I heard about a guy named Jesus. I had just moved to Oklahoma from South Korea and started going to church. It was a pretty strange concept to me at the time. I asked my mom, “Who is this Jesus guy everyone keeps talking […]
The Greatest Joy on Earth
The Greatest Joy on Earth
There’s a song we sing sometimes in Christian Students on Campus (CSOC) that calls meeting with other Christians “the greatest joy on earth.” To me, something about the combination of “greatest” with “on earth” immediately signals hyperbole—exciting and impressive, but untrue. I don’t often question whether products labeled the […]
How to Go on After Baptism
Getting baptized is a major step in the Christian life, but it is only the beginning of following the Lord and learning to experience Him.
