Like most people, I was watching the Superbowl as much for the creative commercials as I was for the game. I was a little disappointed this year. Nothing really stood out as amazing or unique like in years past. Sure, Doritos had a couple of funny spots and The Old Spice Guy made an appearance…
Imagine if New York City’s taps went dry…what would we do? In this great video from Charity:Water, Jennifer Connelly walks to Central Park to get dirty water for her family as millions of mothers in Africa do every day…

We’re a little bit nutty when it comes to healthy diets and we’re gluttons for punishment so it should come as no surprise that we’re back doing a 21-Day Daniel Fast for the third time now. The Daniel Fast is, as I like to describe it, kinda like a…

As if our weekend wasn’t full enough already, my talented brother and a former student from our youth ministry drove down to help us tackle a whirlwind video project. We wanted to film a couple of promotional videos for our church plant while everyone was here but we had very limited time to do it…

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 have been looking for ways to reach out to and serve our community as we prepare for launching our new church. We recently contacted the Westfield Fire Department and asked if we could put together an appreciation luncheon for the fire fighters as a way of saying thank you for what they do…

Do yourself a favor, skip the 22 minute sitcom you were going to watch on Hulu during your lunch break or later tonight and watch this instead.
