Status Quo Questions was originally created as an avenue to talk about church health and the truth of what Christianity really is. The idea was to challenge the status quo that accepted issues as “just the way things are” instead of changing them. Too many people were coming to church searching for help but were leaving in more pain instead.
Long story short, the focus of Status Quo Questions has taken a different route than planned. Over the years, more time has been spent learning about God and His character. That discipline has a way of softening your heart, changing your perspective, and in my case, showing me that I have a lot more to learn.
There are issues facing the Church and believers today that absolutely do need to be addressed, but they can’t accurately be addressed without the right perspective of who God is, the hope that we have in Jesus, and what it means to follow Jesus: dying to self, picking up our cross, and walking in His footsteps.
The heart behind starting Status Quo Questions was to someday strengthen churches and believers around the world. For the time being, though, we’ll start with small but intentional discussions here. Whether you are curious to learn more or have the same passion, please feel free to join in the conversation.

Culture talks a lot about leadership and standing out. Jesus talked a lot about following Him and serving others. Learning together as the Body of Christ, we can pursue the purity of what it means to follow Jesus, so the Church as a whole is strengthened.
Being a Christian transforms the way we live—for the better. As Christians study how to genuinely surrender to and follow Christ, we learn how to live in a way that strengthens one another and reflects Christ to those around us.
What we have been through and what we go through on an ongoing basis can cause us to take our eyes off of the hope we have in Jesus. As you read the content here, I hope you are reminded of the hope that is ours no matter what our circumstances look like.
