If you’re anything like me (especially if you are a blonde haired, blue eyed, white skinned, man) it can be hard to know what to say or what to do in the midst of the cultural and political chaos we have been experiencing lately. These last few days I have found myself feeling both heartbroken … Continue reading The Least of These.
I’ve been an Uber & Lyft driver for just over a month now. Someday I’ll write a post about all the crazy conversations I’ve had (drug dealers, teenage date nights, three generations of drunk Scottish people, etc.), but I'll save that for another time. It was 7:30am as I pulled up to the house. A … Continue reading Doubt.
Two years ago I had the brilliant idea of trying to run three marathons in one year. Off the bat, you’re probably thinking to yourself, “There’s nothing brilliant about that idea.” You are completely right.

Rich Mullins was a Christian … Continue reading “I Dare You To Trust That I love You: An Inspiring Word From Brennan Manning

My name is Matt Mulder and I’m a recovering pornaholic. I wish I could tell you that the temptation goes away. I suppose it does for some people, and that’s really awesome, but it never has for me. It’s amazing to me how you can know something is harmful to you, and the people around … Continue reading My name is Matt Mulder and I am a recovering pornaholic.
This is a thought I've been wrestling with... This past few months I've been thinking alot about what it means to be truly humble. I come from a place that is scared to death of being arrogant, is unsure of how to be confident and so desperately wants to be humble. Someone once asked me, … Continue reading A Beautiful Relationship…
I recently received an email from a good friend at 3:40am. It makes me anxious when I receive any kind of personal message at 3:40 in the morning… I guess I always assume the worst.
