    Have pity on me Luke 17 5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Make our faith stronger!” 6 Jesus replied: If you had faith no bigger than a tiny mustard seed, you could tell this mulberry tree to pull itself up, roots and all, and to plant itself in the ocean. And it would! 7 If your servant…

  • Kids Korner: Growing our faith (October 5th)

    Read Luke 17:5-10 with your family. In today’s story those closest to Jesus asked him to grow their faith bigger. The thing is Jesus cannot grow our faith, only we can do that through our choice to believe. Jesus closest followers did not understand that and thought Jesus could help them have bigger faith, more…

  • Why ‘barefoot’ and ‘evangelist’?

    I often get questions about why I chose the title Barefoot Evangelist for my website. The questions are mostly about the ‘evangelist’ part, if we are being honest.

When Jesus told stories he often exaggerated the setting and people to make it entertaining before he showed them the point. In this one Jesus makes the rich man richer than anyone could imagine, and Lazarus with nothing. So…

  • Jesus and transgender folks

    There have been some very disturbing things coming out of various countries around the world aimed at transgender folks. They have always been a vulnerable community, and by all indications it is getting worse. As an historian I am disturbed by how much our current century is paralleling the 20th century. In the 1920’s there…

    God or Money Luke 16 Jesus said to his disciples: A rich man once had a manager to take care of his business. But he was told that his manager was wasting money. 2 So the rich man called him in and said, “What is this I hear about you? Tell me what you have done! You…
