Don’t Eat The Fake Fruit

2

I get that there is a certain look people are going for but to me fake fruit […]

Our relationship with our own dad affects the way we relate to God. As discussed in our previous blog post, Jesus the Son called out to God the Father using the term “Abba” which roughly translates to the word “daddy” in the same way my son calls to me. Each of us have our own […]

People ask me for things every day. They want my time, my ideas, my permission, my money, my connections, my help, my endorsement, and at times even my forgiveness. There are more voices asking for things than I have time to provide. Therefore, I have to judge carefully and make decisions about who I hear […]

Elemental (1 of 4): We Read

1

The following entry has been reposted and edited, and is part of a four part series called “Elemental: The Elements of Spiritual Life.” It is a reflection of what I have learned over time as necessary components to a growing Christian life. It is not an all inclusive formula of three steps that when followed will lead […]

Having a Rough Time? Work through it…

I ran out of Robitussin and my head feels like I’ve been snorting lines of marshmallows cut with maple syrup. It is that kind of week. I have some pretty awesome creative meetings on my schedule, some phone conferences scheduled, and a quarterly small group leader meeting this weekend. Everything in my heart is screaming […]

Who am I investing in?

Training up new leaders is an essential part of what I do. When I stand before God someday and own all of my life decisions, I will be more concerned with how well I molded future pastors and leaders rather than how many people I got to sit together in a room once a week. A […]

Getting Back on the Ladder…

Did you ever spend your money on something only to realize you now owned complete junk? That happened to me. Over Thanksgiving weekend, we purchased some new outdoor Christmas lighting. Nothing too tacky; just a couple red and green spotlights, some walkway candy canes, and some clear lights to line our roof. Roof lights can […]
