Labor Day weekend—when half of McPherson still grills outside while the other half has already switched to soup season. Have you seen anyone put both a huge fan and a space heater in the garage “just in case.” We Kansans know how to prepare for anything, don’t we? We live ready for both scorching heat […]
The Valentine’s displays are already marked down at Walmart, heart-shaped chocolate boxes sit half-eaten on kitchen counters, and some roses are starting to drop their petals. Now that the commercialized romance of February 14th is fading, we might find ourselves thinking about love in deeper ways. What does it mean to love extravagantly? How do […]
We gather this morning with heavy hearts, just days after the tragic loss of Flight 5342 from our the Wichita airport just down the road. You or someone you know may have known passengers or their families, and all of us feel the weight of this loss. In moments like these, when grief touches our […]
Have you ever tried to delete your past? Maybe you’ve purged old social media posts, shredded embarrassing photos, or desperately wished you could unsend that angry email.

I think that Jesus would blog stories of healing. Maybe Jesus would tell others to blog about stories of healing or maybe tell them not to blog about it. Although a healing story is definitely blogalicious, Jesus did not always encourage others to share about them. A blog is a great medium for telling stories […]
I am on my way to Wichita this morning to be with my dad, Mark Conard, who is having a medical procedure this afternoon. I am going to make a short trip down and back today and ask for your prayers for my dad for healing, for my mother, Joyce, as we watch and wait […]
Why couldn’t / didn’t Peter heal in the name of the Holy Spirit? Acts 1:8 – Christ promises “power when the Holy Spirit comes upon [them]” Acts 3:6 – Peter heals in the name of Jesus. I tried to find a reference about Jesus giving direction or instruction about healing in his name. The only […]
