    Keeping with my life lessons from ____ posts (read those here & here), I thought I’d give Fruit Ninja a try. If you’ve never played Fruit Ninja, the concept is quite simple. Fruit flies up from the bottom of the screen and you have to use your finger to slice the fruit before it goes…

    I’m often surprised when I talk with someone or get replies on twitter about my honesty when I admit I struggle with a certain area of Christianity. I guess people think because I work at a church or have the word ‘pastor’ in my title that I don’t struggle everyday with the same things everyone…

    I have a great leader in Artie Davis. In the time that I’ve known him, I’ve grown incredibly as a young leader. I’ve learned some valuable lessons along the way and realized that young leaders need to hear these 3 things… 1. “I believe in you.” Everyone needs to know that someone else believes in…

    I talk a lot about “turning the world UPSIDE down.” It’s something that I believe in. It’s something that I truly believe God has called us to do. It’s something that seems so irrational and bold, but really only requires us living out the life God’s called us to. It requires God living through us.…

    I was reading through Numbers 6 and 7 a few days ago and learned this… God is in the details. God was in the details of creation, God was in the details of the tabernacle, God was in the details of the sacrifice, God is in the details of our lives, God is in the…

    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?

    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…

    Life has a way of getting the best of us at times. It can punch us in the mouth and pick on us ruthlessly. Sure, we have to trust God, we have to keep our faith and know who we are in Him, but sometimes, we gotta fight back. We can’t just stand there and…

    The Average Christian’s Letter to the Hurting

    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…
