Lessons from the Wind
The Spirit of God isn’t something we can see or predict.  Like the wind, He doesn’t always move in ways we understand. I was walking along canyon's Trail of Time one spring afternoon, the kind of day where the Grand Canyon wind seems alive.  Gusts whipped around me, threatening the security of my hat and sending clouds racing across the sky.  I could hear the whisking sound of the wind through the pinons, as their shed needles danced through the air and then disappeared into the depths of
A Canyon’s Worth of Gratitude
Isn't it just like our Creator to turn what the world sees as a challenge to faith into one of faith's strongest witnesses? One afternoon, I stood at Yavapai Point watching a group of ravens soaring on the thermals rising from the canyon depths. They weren't searching for food or racing to a destination—they were simply riding the currents of warm air with what looked remarkably like joy. It reminded me of Jesus' words about how God provides for the birds of the air (Matthew 6:26), and on this

Beyond the Rim: Embracing Depth in Our Faith
Living beyond the rim means being liberated from the worries and cares of this world. It means embracing a greater purpose and looking forward to eternity with hope and anticipation The Grand Canyon, with its vast expanse and awe-inspiring beauty, draws millions of visitors each year. Yet, for many, their experience remains superficial, limited to a mere glimpse from the rim. It is those who dare to venture down into the canyon's depths who are rewarded with a transformative and profound encounter. Similarly, the journey of faith often finds individuals
Beauty in Wrath: Finding Redemption in the Grand Canyon
Just as the layers of rock in the canyon tell a story of upheaval and transformation, so too does the gospel narrative speak of God's relentless pursuit of humanity's redemption. Every year, millions of people flock to the Grand Canyon, drawn by its breathtaking beauty and awe-inspiring landscape. Yet, beneath its majestic surface lies a story of cataclysmic events, a story rooted in the pages of Genesis. This landscape holds a profound message, embedded within the canyon's very rocks, reminding us of God's power to bring forth beauty from
Fossil Evidence of the Global Flood in the Grand Canyon
Whereas catastrophic conditions such as rapid burial and an oxygen-free environment facilitate fossil preservation, today's oceans do not support such phenomena. Within the sedimentary layers of the Grand Canyon lies compelling evidence of a cataclysmic event—a plethora of marine ocean fossils. These fossils, scattered and fractured throughout the canyon's strata, provide tangible clues to the monumental deluge that once reshaped our planet. The discovery of marine fossils and the conditions in which we find them within the Grand Canyon prompts a reconsideration of the prevailing theories regarding its geological history.
Embracing Discipline as a River of Blessing
Just as a river, when flowing within its banks, nourishes the land and sustains life, so too does a disciplined life overflow with blessings for others. In the rugged terrain of the Grand Canyon, where the Flood has left a signature upon the land, lies a profound analogy for the journey of life—the flowing river. Just as a river coursing through the canyon can bring life and vitality when disciplined within its banks, so too can we, through disciplined living, become vessels of blessing to those around us. Conversely,
Stones of Remembrance: Reflecting on the Wondrous Works of God
The Grand Canyon, with its layers of rock and tumultuous history, is a living testament to this truth. It stands as a reminder of God's judgment upon a sinful world, but also of His redemptive love and mercy. In Joshua chapter 4, we encounter a powerful testament to the faithfulness and miraculous interventions of God as the Hebrew Israelites cross the Jordan River into the Promised Land. God commands Joshua to select one man from each of the twelve tribes to take a stone from the riverbed and stack
