Timing is everything. When the stakes are at their highest the unlikely hero recognizes the value of showing up, even at great personal risk.

The easy choice is the path of least resistance, but culture can be transformed when an unlikely hero chooses to go against the grain.

Nowadays it's easy to mistake hustle for heroism, but it's an unlikely hero who stops trying to make the impossible happen and chooses instead to believe the One for whom nothing is impossible.

Other people can be challenging, messy and beyond our control. But our willingness to take risks for another person can lead to unlikely heroism.

Adversity comes in many forms, and nobody is exempt. But your response to adversity can shape you into an unlikely hero.

The resurrection of Jesus gives us hope that what is dead in our lives can come to life again. This Easter we celebrate the hope we have in Jesus!

The inviting life demonstrates the love of Jesus in action--but it can't stop there. When the time is right, an inviting life means speaking up about the hope we've found in Jesus.

We hear people all the time, but how often are we really listening? The inviting life is characterized by a mindset of curiosity and a commitment to be slow to speak and quick to listen.

The inviting life is vulnerable, real, and accessible. It means putting aside pretense and living authentically with other people.

An inviting life means being present in the lives of other people, and what better example do we have than Jesus? He took on the form of a human being, walked with us in our sorrows and joys, and took upon himself the death we deserved.

Gender confusion is perhaps one of the toughest issues many families are now facing. How can followers of Jesus offer love and light in the midst of the confusion?

Anxiety disorders are on the rise, impacting tens of millions of American adults every year--and an increasing number of children and teens. How can we find hope and healing in the face of crushing anxiety?

Sexual harassment and assault are nothing new, but one hashtag has helped communicate the enormity of these issues in every sector of life, including the church.

We live in an increasingly connected world, but too often our dysfunctional relationship with social media has a negative impact on what's most real in our lives.

When the going gets tough in a relationship, people with grit keep going . . . and can transform an ordinary relationship to one that is truly extraordinary.

Is there anything more extraordinary than grace? Showing unmerited favor to the people in our lives requires sacrifice, but it's an essential ingredient of extraordinary relationships.

Our world has made it easier than ever to misunderstand, misinterpret or mischaracterize the various people in our lives. An extraordinary relationship can only develop when we apply some extra understanding.
