“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 toContinueContinue reading ““God, give me wisdom.””
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.

DISTRACTED DEVOTIONAL
Do you struggle with distractions? Of course! We all do. As humans, it’s normal to deal with distractions on a daily basis. However, when distractions begin to consume our lives and become the consistent normal, that’s a problem.

Attunement & The Heart
It was such an honor to get to know Dr. Eric Johnson last month at the Mental Health & the Church Conference. Not only did I enjoy hearing him speak, but I enjoyed several conversations with him about life, ministry and soul care. The main focus of his talk was about the importance of theContinueContinue reading “Attunement & The Heart”
A Quick Word about Grace
Grace is a beautiful word. It’s a word that has so many implications for the life of a Christian. One way that I often describe grace, is that it’s a gift that we don’t deserve. This gift has ultimately been given to us through God sending His Son Jesus Christ to die on a crossContinueContinue reading “A Quick Word about Grace”
