Communication 101

When it comes to communication, I’m a work in progress. We all are! Because I’m in vocational ministry, I’ve had the opportunity to interact with all kinds of people. It’s been quite humbling and eye-opening. I’ve experienced some amazing conversations and I’ve also experienced some very frustrating conversations. People are people.

What is Faith?

Now faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen. For by this our ancestors were approved.

It’s Just Jesus

In every career, there is a temptation and tendency to highly prioritize climbing the ladder of success and promotion. Growing, developing and taking opportunities are not a bad thing.

A Season of Writing
