WHERE IS GOD WHEN WE SUFFER?

Just this weekend we had both our littlest girls throwing up. The first, from carsickness, the second from some sort of stomach bug. For the first we stopped the car, got her cleaned up, put on new clothes and got her some air. We rested until she felt stable, rubbed her back, pulled her hair…

Where is home, really?⁠ ⁠ Is it the place we s Where is home, really?⁠
⁠
Is it the place we sleep?⁠
The walls we decorate?⁠
The photos on the fridge or the way the light spills across the floor?⁠
⁠
Or is it something deeper?⁠
⁠
I’ve been thinking about what I want to pass on to my kids—not just in words, but in the rhythms of our life. And I keep coming back to this:⁠
⁠
If your heart is anchored in Christ, you’re never really without a home.⁠
Even in chaos.⁠
Even in loss.⁠
Even in transition.⁠
⁠
Because home isn’t comfort, predictability or even a place.⁠
It’s presence.⁠
Not ours—His.⁠
⁠
When Jesus is our dwelling place, we carry home with us. Into every storm. Every move. Every strange season that makes us feel like strangers in our own lives.⁠
⁠
This is the kind of rootedness that holds when everything else shakes loose.⁠
It’s the gift I want to give my children.⁠
And honestly? It’s the reminder I need too.⁠
⁠
Because if Jesus is your refuge,⁠
if He’s the place you go to rest and be known and be held—⁠
then you are never far from home.⁠
⁠
No matter where you go,⁠
He goes with you.⁠
⁠
And that changes everything.
I used to think religion tasted horrible.⁠ Turns I used to think religion tasted horrible.⁠
Turns out…⁠
I was right.⁠
⁠
It wasn’t the Bread of Life that left a bitter taste—⁠
it was the additives.⁠
The flavor enhancers.⁠
The spiritual substitutes.⁠
⁠
The fog machines.⁠
The choreographed transitions.⁠
The emotional moments designed to look like awe, but are instead carefully curated, premeditated.
The buildings dressed like a daydream but are filled by those who create nightmares 
⁠
Somewhere along the way, we traded sacred for slick.⁠
We made the gathering a show,⁠
the leaders celebrities,⁠
the people spectators.⁠

Somewhere along the way the purity of the gospel was made to become fodder for entertainment—drawing sheep to earthly shepherds rather than the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.
⁠
But what if it was never meant to be that way? Let me rephrase that—I know it was never meant to be this way. ⁠
⁠
What if the Church wasn’t supposed to look like a concert hall…⁠or a comedy show…or an entertainment venue…
but a living room?⁠
Not a stage, but a table?⁠
Not a crowd, but a family?⁠
⁠
What if we stopped treating reverence like a relic,⁠
and started returning to the wild holiness of ordinary, mundane genuine relationships where life is shared, forgiveness is extended and repentance is routine?
⁠
Worship that sounds like dishes clanking in the sink.⁠
Communion that happens over coffee.⁠
Confession that shows up in the driveway.⁠
Repentance not reserved for altar calls or mountain tops but held tenderly from across the couch.⁠
⁠
The simple church.⁠
⁠
Not soft. Not watered down.⁠
But simple—⁠
less production, more surrender…
Like the early Church—⁠
the original Church—⁠filled with those who didn’t gather for entertainment, but for endurance. 
⁠
They devoted themselves to teaching,⁠
to breaking bread,⁠
to prayer,⁠
to each other.⁠
⁠
No programs.⁠
No spotlight.⁠
Just people marked by His presence.⁠
⁠
That’s the kind of Church we ache for.⁠
Not a new idea.⁠
In fact, one of the oldest ones there is.
Making memories with all my people…staycation su Making memories with all my people…staycation summer mode is in full swing! ☀️🍉⛱️
“We are not called to be successful, we are call “We are not called to be successful, we are called to be faithful. And the faithfulness of one man can change the course of a nation.” — Charles Spurgeon⁠
⁠
In a world obsessed with outcomes,⁠
this kind of thinking sounds almost foolish.⁠
⁠
Because faithfulness doesn’t trend.⁠
It rarely makes headlines.⁠
It often looks like showing up when no one’s watching.⁠
Praying when no one sees.⁠
Loving when it’s not returned.⁠
Planting seeds in soil that doesn’t seem to grow.⁠
⁠
But Scripture is full of stories where one person’s quiet “yes” to God shifted everything.⁠
⁠
Noah built the ark when it had never rained.⁠
Esther spoke up when silence felt safer.⁠
Joseph stayed the course when bitterness would’ve been easier.⁠
Mary said, “Let it be to me as you have said,”⁠
not knowing it would cost her everything.⁠
⁠
None of them had the full picture.⁠
None of them had a platform.⁠
But they were faithful.⁠
And God used it.⁠
⁠
So if you’re feeling unseen,⁠
if the fruit seems small,⁠
if your life feels ordinary—⁠
⁠
take heart.⁠
⁠
You don’t have to be impressive.⁠
You don’t have to be strategic.⁠
You just have to be faithful.⁠
⁠
Because faithfulness always matters more than success.⁠
⁠
And sometimes, one obedient life⁠
can reroute history.⁠
