This was an…

Father’s Day – Point People to Jesus
I had the opportunity on Father’s Day to be on a panel with some guys at my church. We had a great conversation about the need for intentional fathers and mentors. The ultimate need within that need though, is to reflect Jesus and point our children and those we mentor to Him. I pray it’s…

“God, give me wisdom.”
Prayer is such a gift! Being able to communicate with the God of the universe is unlike anything else. Anyone can cry out to God at any time, but those that know God personally through a relationship with His Son Jesus can not only talk to God, but have His help to know what to…

When You Feel Outnumbered
Most of us do not enjoy feeling outnumbered in almost any setting. Our workplace, personalities, hobbies and interests, political leanings, personal preferences, favorite sports team…the list keeps going!

I’m in the process of eliminating the weeds in my yard. It’s that time of year where the winter has turned my yard into a mess and I’m trying to bring it back to life! Step 1: get rid of the weeds! Weeds hinder growth. I wish one round of weed killer spray in my…

Student Discipleship Resource
I’ve really enjoyed having the opportunity to put together some resources for YM360, a ministry based in Birmingham that encourages students and student pastors and leaders with Gospel resources, camps and events. I recorded a two part video for student pastors and leaders about sermon and teaching preparation titled, “Different Settings Require Different Preparation”. If…

When Life is Going Well…
I don’t know about you, but I’m less prone to seek the Lord when life is going well. I really like when life is going well. Who doesn’t?
