How is Your Heart?

Chances are, life isn’t working for you in some way. We try so hard to prove otherwise. It could be that you feel lost in a world void of intimacy. Maybe you struggle with an addiction, or perhaps your son or daughter does. You or your spouse may have engaged in an affair. Or it could be that you are a pastor with the pressure to have it all figured out. Regardless of your circumstances, you are tired of trying. Your journey to recovery starts with story. Your story. And a bigger story.

Story is the language of the heart, and we will not live well from our heart until we can tell its story.

Praise for Luke’s most recent co-authored book, Inviting Intimacy:

“…Luke guides us through Marian’s storytelling (and our own) with the eyes of an artist and the skill of a surgeon. Let this book reach in and stir your longing to love from a whole heart.”

-Jan Proett, author of Listening to Love and The Allure of Hope

Should and Want

Should. Want. Toxic-shame. God-given passion. A small creek runs behind my house. On most days, I can jump over the stream of water without any problem. In one moment I am on one side and the next I am on the other. Should. Want. It seems like there’s hardly a difference, right? I should play […]
