I am so grateful to see Untamed Prayers reach #1 in Christian Devotionals. This is a huge category of books, with more coming out every day. Thank you for placing your preorders and bumping it up to #1. My goal is very simple: to get people into the Psalms, to see Christ there,

Not all prayers sound like prayers. Take the very first psalm, which speaks *of* God but not *to* God. But certainly, being a song or psalm or hymn, we would also say that Psalm 1 is a type of prayer. Psalms 49 is another example. In this wisdom psalm, which we covered today in

In this piece I wrote for Mockingbird magazine, I explain how reading the Bible entails doing "People Exegesis," interpreting biblical characters as we "interpret" people in daily life. Using Joseph's life in Genesis, we see how he exemplifies the inner civil war that rages

If someone is innovative or imaginative, we label them “creative.” On some social media channels, video producers are called “creators.” Artists create paintings, musicians create songs. But in Hebrew, it does not matter what you make or how original it might be, you are neither

Let me teach you a Hebrew truth that can carry you through the hardest seasons of life. It’s carried me. And I’ve walked through some deep valleys. I don’t care how dark the day is. I don’t care how loud despair sings its siren song. This truth will pull you through:

When visiting the temple in Jerusalem during the time of Jesus, this is one of the warning signs you would have seen. These appeared both in Latin and Greek. They were on a balustrade outside the inner court of the temple. It reads, "No stranger is to enter within the balustrade

I would urge you to be very specific in your prayers, especially when you're praying against something. That’s what the Psalms teach us. The Psalms do not hesitate to name names, to speak of the enemy when speaking to God. Psalm 60, for instance, mentions Edom, Moab, and

A mistake Christians often make is talking about the afterlife as if it’s a place where even atheists would be happy. We describe it with all kinds of wonderful images—streets of gold, pearly gates, reunion with loved ones, no more suffering, no more tears, no more death. Now

Who were the Pharisees? The Pharisees were one of the Jewish sects at the time of Jesus, known for strict adherence to Mosaic law and oral traditions. Their name, from the Hebrew root p-r-sh ([פרשׁ] "to separate"), reflects their commitment to religious purity. They set

There was a first-century rabbi nicknamed Rabbi Gamzu because whenever adversity came along, he would say, "Gam zu l'tovah," that is, "This, too, is for the good." Those first two words in Hebrew, גם זו (gam zu), mean "This too..." Therefore, he was called Rabbi Gamzu. He was the
