With each of the 12 disciples, he told them, “follow me” and yet this man who had been healed by Jesus and begged to go with him was sent away. As a casual reader we look at this story and…
As a Dad to two girls I’m scared to death to raise my daughters in today’s culture, especially when I think about what waits for them when they grow up…

I’ve observed a lot of different leadership models for new churches but one in particular intrigued me. There’s a church I’ve gotten to know where two pastors share the leadership responsibilities equally as co-pastors. If you would have asked me three years ago I would have said…

My parents dropped Lisa and I off at the Airport at 6 AM for our connecting flight. Upon checking in we learned that our flight had been delayed due to “insufficient pilot sleep.” Things went south from there…

This month has been especially crazy for Lisa and I. We’re in Dallas this week and have more short trips here and there. In order to help me catch up and stay on top of everything I decided to take a break from blogging this week…

I was recently re-reading Dream Releasers by Wayne Cordeiro (a great book to pick up if you don’t have it already) and I landed on the chapter called “Die Empy.” In it, Wayne talks about the untapped potential and unrealized dreams that so many people take with them to their graves…

I’ve got to be honest with you…some days I just feel like a terrible parent. Don’t get me wrong, I love my kids. But sometimes I wonder if I was sick the day they handed out the parenting manuals because…
We moved down to Indianapolis to plant a church that will be launching in January but getting people to go to our church isn’t our highest priority. Crazy thing for a church planter to say, isn’t it? People start…

Here’s a great little video to show your friends just in time for Labor Day Weekend. Load it up on your computer or iPhone, sit them down, and time how long they can stand the torture…
I stumbled across a video documentary on YouTube called “The Boy With The Incredible Brain” that really piqued my interest. It was about a young man named Daniel Tammet with high-functioning autistic savant syndrome. Epileptic seizures he suffered at the age of four “unlocked” parts of his brain allowing him to perform amazing mental feats such as…
If you’ve talked to me or followed me for any length of time you know that I get pretty passionate about a few things and one of those things is clean water. The fact that 1.1 BILLION people on this planet lack access to clean, safe drinking water is something that still boggles my mind…
