Andrew Holmes: Home Is Where the Healing Is

Each month, I have the privilege of sharing what’s been on my heart. This month, I wanted to offer that space to someone whose heart I consistently learn from — my friend and colleague Tom Lukasik. Tom and his wife Linda have lived the reality of foster care for over thirty years, and what he carries on the subject of reunification is something every one of us needs to hear. I think you’ll find his words both honest and hopeful. More than a cliché “Home, sweet home.” “Home is where the heart is.” “A home for every child.” You’ve probably […]

Antony Tchividjian: Redeemed From the Streets

I feel like I say this every month when I sit down to write these amazing stories of lives that I have had the honor and privilege of witnessing firsthand God transform. They are all so special to me personally. Travis’ story is one of the most powerful examples of redemption and transformation that I’ve personally witnessed. I love Travis and I couldn’t be more proud of him. Born and raised in the small town of Springfield, Tennessee, Travis grew up in a poor home with his parents and sisters. Church was a regular part of his childhood. His family […]

When you take a deeper look […]

Why, after half a semester of interesting conversations and serious learning, did it come down to this? Why the self-destructive desire not to give him what I knew he wanted? For goodness’ sake, I was totally prepared for it, and then this… why? Dr. Wright had just handed us our psychology mid-term exam, and it consisted of just one question…”Why”?  As my classmates furiously attempted to find “logical answers” to an untenable inquiry, I sat frozen in my seat for […]
