What does it mean to be a real man of God? This morning I went to the gym to workout. I know that working out at a gym seems funny to say but there were a lot of people there hanging out, flexing out, and even one crazy lady freaking out. There was one man…

The other day I was reading Genesis 2:24-25, God’s creation of marriage. Jesus quotes it (Matthew 19:5-6) and so does Paul (Ephesians 5:31) thus affirming it as the definition of marriage.

Do you have any scars? There is one on my left knee from a chainsaw, one on my right ear from when my mom tried to save a few bucks on a haircut, another on my left pinky when I stabbed a tree with my new Swiss Army knife that didn’t have a locking blade,…

Is it fake news or not? Fake news used to be only found in the tabloids next to the checkout at the supermarket but now it’s everywhere. When I scroll through my news feed on social media it can be hard to distinguish between true and fake news. Who can you trust these days? Most…

The overbooking of seats and maltreatment of a passenger on a popular airline recently had me thinking about something. Have you ever had great seats on a plane? I had a friend who worked for an airline company and once bumped us up to first class! Great seats usually come at a great price. What…

My week consists of meeting with people because as a pastor I’m in the people business. I’ve had the honor of meeting with hundreds of wonderful people and getting to know them better over the years. I remember once I came to the office to meet with someone and there realized I had triple booked…
