“But it’s not MY fault!” How many times have your heard that? Sadly, I hear it pretty much every day. As people we don’t ever really like to take responsibility for our own actions. We always want to blame someone or something else for the situations we’re in or for the stupid things we do. […]
We’re just under 2 weeks away from the Christian Super Bowl often referred to as EASTER. I know many friends who do what I do for a living are freaking out right now as they are making final touches (for those who planned ahead) on their set ups and creative elements, some are freaking out […]
I’m on an airplane right now flying back from Tulsa, OK. We took a group of church leaders there this week for the Seeds Conference at Church on the Move, one of the most daring, cutting-edge, modern, and largest churches in the world.

Well, and you too. I honestly can’t comprehend that thought. I mean, I can’t actually wrap my mind […]
I’ll be honest, I read this yesterday, loved it and so I did what every good person in ministry does… I stole it, haha. This was originally written by Thomas Weaver for Resurgence. I believe it speaks so much deeper than what the surface words actually say. It speaks to very deep issues that are […]
Sounds kind of like a bad word… “BLOGGER”. Makes me think of something that a kid on the playground would call you to hurt your feelings.
