Many people in our culture need to hear “grow up,” but that does not make it a better story.
There is a better story. It begins with men and women, made in God’s image and living in paradise, throwing it all away by believing and acting on a lie. Everything in the world is hard because of Adam and Eve’s fall into sin. Work is futile and frustrating. Childbirth becomes a painful ordeal. Relationships... Continue Reading

How to Understand the Jordan Peterson Phenomenon
Peterson has stolen the song about order and meaning we Christians use to sing so well. It’s time we steal it back.
