May 2026
Dear Friend,
Our world has never been more connected. And we have never been more lost.
The irony is striking, isn’t it? Our phones put eight billion people within reach. We can video call a friend in Tokyo, follow the daily life of a stranger in Stockholm, share our lives with the whole wide world — all before breakfast. No one is outside our circle anymore.
So why are so many people — especially young people — more lonely, more anxious, and more despairing than ever? Why are depression rates climbing? Why are we losing far too many to suicide?
Because connection was never the answer. Purpose is. And a whole generation is asking the same haunting questions in the quiet moments when the screen goes dark:
"Why am I here? What difference does my life make?"
In May, I'll be sharing two teaching series that speak directly into God’s answers for these critical questions.
In Holy Ambition, we'll talk about what it looks like when an ordinary person catches a God-sized vision — the kind that changes not just their own life, but the lives of everyone around them. Then in Your Divine Design, we'll dig into something I find endlessly fascinating: the truth that God didn't make you generic. He wired you specifically — with gifts, experiences, and a story that no one else has.
Ephesians 2:10 tells us, "We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." This truth has never been more needed than it is right now. People everywhere are desperate for meaning — and together, we can show them where it's found.
I want to personally invite you to respond in two ways:
First — tune in and study with me. Whether it's you, or someone you love who is quietly wrestling with these questions, these two teaching series were made for this moment. Let's rediscover together the joy and clarity of living out the purpose for which God made us. Share it. Pass it along. You may never know whose life it reaches.
Second — stand with us financially. Every month, Living on the Edge brings biblical truth to millions of people through broadcasts, digital outreach, and discipleship tools — all made possible through the generosity of friends like you. The young man staring at his phone in the dark, asking why he matters — he's out there right now. Your gift helps make sure he hears an answer.
This is our moment. A generation is asking the right questions— and we have the privilege of pointing them to the One who has the answers.
I believe in what God is doing through Living on the Edge with everything I have. And I believe He is calling people like you to be part of it. Ask Him what He would have you do – and trust what He puts on your heart. Your gift will point someone to Jesus, the author of purpose and meaning.
With gratitude and hope,
