  • I’m Learning to Slow Down

    I’m trying to learn to slow down. I’m learning that I often do a lot of things, but few things well. Instead, I run around, thing to thing, task to task. The result is, I accomplish a lot of “tasks” but have very little impact. So, I’m learning to slow down. What are you learning?

    1. If you really believe in something, you’ll give your life to see it accomplished. For those of you that have never played Angry Birds (where ya been?), the goal of the game is to shoot birds out of a sling shot and kill pigs that have buried themselves under random structures. The premise behind…

    When I was still living at home, my parents decided to remodel their kitchen. They decided that they really liked tile floors and called the tile man. I still remember how careful the tile guy was to be sure that he was laying the tile on a smooth surface. Every few minutes, I’d see him…

    Dear Church, I write to you because I’m searching. I’m searching for something that I’m not sure can be found. I’m not sure what it looks like, what it feels like, or where to find it. I know it’s missing, and I need your help. I know there has to be more. There has to…

    Leadership is about priority, not position. No matter what we’re leading, it’s important that we lead because it’s a priority to us, not simply because we’ve been placed in a position to do so. The truth is, everyone can work their way into some type of leadership POSITION. Whether it be leading a family, leading…

    I don’t know if you’ve noticed or if it’s necessarily the case where you live, but where I live, Dollar General stores have popped up everywhere. Anytime I ride by one or reluctantly walk in one :), I can’t help but notice how they all seem to have a booming business. The reason? In my…

    It’s always been  an often asked question… “What’s God’s will for my life?” In other words, the question is really this.. “What’s God’s specific plan for my life?” “What am I here for?” The question is a solid and valid question, but the answers we often come up with are less valid. People answer this…

  • How Do You Tell Your Story?

    Some people tell great stories. They have a way of bringing you into their story that makes you feel like you were right beside them when it happened. Other people tell bad stories. They either leave out so many details that you wonder why they even chose to tell the story in the first place,…

    The Average Christian’s Letter to the Hurting

    in ,

    It seems like many in the church have become disconnected to the outside world. That we’ve forgotten that people still have real hurts, real struggles, and need real love. Sometimes, I wonder if this isn’t how we (me included) come across to a hurting and largely unsaved world. Sometimes, I wonder if this isn’t what…
