A long one, but I hope you’ll hang for a moment. Today is Martin Luther King Day. It is also the day that Joe Biden’s Presidency ends and Donald Trump’s begins. I’ve read most everything I can get my hands on of King’s speeches and words over the last many years of my life. I’ve visited … Continue reading My boundaries for the days ahead.

The Next Right Thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoNQg9eAyrg “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But … Continue reading The Next Right Thing
Here comes 2024…
If there was one resolution I'd love for all of us to really invest in this 2024, it would be to invest in two things; goodness and curiosity. I hate to name it before it arrives, but wisdom would tell us it's going to be a particularly ugly year. Rather than bemoan it and be … Continue reading Here comes 2024…
What I talk about when I talk about Rob Bell.
Listen to this post here: For many who know me and my relationship with the living God they know I love to talk about Him. In fact if I could choose one conversation to have with the people I interact with it would be this. I love to see what people believe about God. I love … Continue reading What I talk about when I talk about Rob Bell.
Certainty ( A sermon on Hope.)
A few weeks ago we had the privilege of having College Gameday here in Tallahassee.

So of course … Continue reading Certainty ( A sermon on Hope.)

Let Go.
I have always said that my greatest strength is also my greatest weakness. Me defining that greatest strength as the amount that I care for people. Because of this deep love and care for those I allow to get close I have also realized that I struggle with something that in many ways goes hand … Continue reading Let Go.
Dave Matthews, Doubts, and Christianity
Just a disclaimer: I wrote this many years ago. I don't view my faith this way anymore as you can see in some of my newer writings. I'd like to say that people don't need tragedies to not believe what I was trying to sell many years ago and it was arrogant and narrow-minded for … Continue reading Dave Matthews, Doubts, and Christianity
Do we love God? (The Greatest Commandment)
Preface:I am by no means a devout follower of all the things I know I should be. I wrote this as a means to convict myself. In doing so I hope you are able to take something out of it. It doesn't matter what my opinion of love is. God said how to love him. … Continue reading Do we love God? (The Greatest Commandment)
Get out of the boat. (Wyldlife talk)
Preface: The main concept of this I got from Brian Brown. Want him to get proper credit even if he got it from somewhere else. The idea of it was just so appropriate for where our Middle School kids were at. So I took it and went with it. I'll apologize later haha 🙂 Hey … Continue reading Get out of the boat. (Wyldlife talk)
