Christians don’t fight over what Jesus said; they fight over what Jesus didn’t say.

By Asher Witmer Ecclesiology, Spiritual Formation

What if it’s okay to get the things that weren’t clearly addressed wrong? What if God isn’t expecting us to know all the nuances that arise when we consider the elements not mentioned? And what if Christians could stop trying to hold other Christians to their understanding of those unspoken words?

People follow relationships; not compelling beliefs.

By Asher Witmer Ecclesiology, Spiritual Formation

As I listen to story after story, I realize the church has a crisis of relationships—we have a crisis of connection. We don’t stay at a church because of what it believes. We stay where we develop relationships. We stay where we find community.

When we are looking for “life,” what do we mean?

By Asher Witmer Ecclesiology, Spiritual Formation

What if the feelings and tensions we feel at the surface—too focused on externals, not allowed to use instruments, too robotic, not kind enough—are actually pricking at something much deeper in our souls that we don’t have the words to describe…so we use the word life?

How we think about the Bible is shaped by more than we realize.

By Asher Witmer Ecclesiology, Spiritual Formation

We are all shaped by way more than we realize when it comes to how think about the Bible, about God, and about life.

When people walk away from something, it begs the question “Why?”

By Asher Witmer Ecclesiology, Spiritual Formation

When I listen to those who are leaving, I hear of young people whose parents never allowed them to question what the church did; or who, when they decided to leave, were told they were a great disappointment to their parents.

We all begin somewhere, sometimes it’s at church.

By Asher Witmer Ecclesiology

Each of us begin life somewhere. I don’t mean we begin life in the womb–I mean we become aware of our surroundings and different dynamics at play at some very distinct point in time. For some of us, that point in time happens in church.

3 Myths Christians Believe about God and Government – Part 3

By Asher Witmer Spiritual Formation

The fact that God uses government to accomplish his purposes does not allow us an excuse for ignoring the assignment he gave his disciples. If government reform were the way to redeem the world, he would have told us. But he didn’t.

3 Myths Christians Believe about God and Government – Part 2

By Asher Witmer Spiritual Formation

My choice to not vote isn’t because I don’t think God wants to see a government that honors him. Rather, I don’t vote because Christ has set a clear example that we are to be caught up in another kind of work.

3 Myths Christians Believe about God and Government – Part 1

By Asher Witmer Spiritual Formation

Does Jesus set an example for us to use politics in building the Kingdom of God? Is Romans 13 God’s stamp of approval upon his people participating in government? Did Jesus (and the apostles) not address political involvement because they lived during a time where they couldn’t vote?

Why I Don’t Vote (and probably never will)

By Asher Witmer Spiritual Formation

I didn’t vote during these last elections. In fact, I have never voted. My choice not to vote is more than following a church tradition—it’s fundamental to my faith. Let me explain.

Living with Guilt Is a Choice.

Author Asher Witmer knows what it’s like to want freedom from sexual sin only to continually fail. We’re often told we need more personal discipline, that we need to think godly things instead of fleshly things.

What if I told you that discipline won’t solve your problem with lust?

Our male sexuality is given by God for advancing beauty and goodness. But somewhere along the line it becomes something that causes devastation and guilt. The good news is we don’t have to live with guilt. In Live Free, Asher Witmer shows us how we can find freedom from sexual sin, live with nothing to hide, and be able to fight for others.
