    I’m probably younger than most of you reading this. I haven’t got a ton of life experience, but I have made a few mistakes in my life and have learned that there are a few things that we can’t do and still live effective and productive lives. Here are 5 things we can’t do and…

  • The End Goal

    “Is the end goal for orphans to find parents? For the homeless to find homes? For the sick to find physical health? Is that the mission of Jesus? Is that the purpose of the Cross? Is that why thousands of hours and dollars have been spent??? Is that the end goal of a Christian?” –Brad…

  • Calling Before Age

    One thing that I am probably a little self conscious about is being so young and trying to teach families how to raise their children. Sometimes I guess I feel like I don’t even deserve to be able to tell parents about what God has called them to do with their children. I’ve never had…

  • God Equips and Calls

    God doesn’t ask us to do what He won’t equip us to do. This should be a very freeing statement. In other words, God is the one doing the work in us and through us. Our only job in the process is obedience. God equips His people to do His work. God has given you…

    “One of the things I’ve learned as a leader is to quit asking God to do things that He has commanded me to do!” This was on Perry Noble’s twitter last night… All I can say is wow!…true in so many ways! Absolutely destroys passive and lazy leadership… How many times have we needed to…

  • Doing vs. Excelling

    in , ,

    The difference between doing and excelling is as simple as evaluation. No matter how well you think you are doing, ask yourself… What could have been better? Was the product the best that it could have been? What did other people say? Did I give it my all? God calls each of His children to…

    How do you know when you have a good idea? Here are some steps that I go through before I decide to do something new… 1. Think about it from every angle possible. Does it make sense? Can it work where you are? Does it have appeal? Is it safe? Can you do it well…
