You’ve probably seen these filters on Instagram that say things like… “Which _________ Are You?” Essentially, you click on a rotating icon above your head and it tells you which character you are from a movie or series. An example of this is, “Which Pixar Character Are You?” (I’m Ken from Toy Story 3). IContinue reading “INSTAGRAM FILTERS”

Is it just me, or does it seem like every day there is someone who is offended on social media? While social media can be an easy way to connect with people, it can be a place where offense is easily taken on. That being said, are you looking to connect with people or areContinue reading “(UN)OFFENDED”

About a year ago, I came up with this concept of praying vertically and praying horizontally. I have found that some may choose to keep their prayer requests just between themselves and God. This is praying vertically. While this is a good place to start, scripture, (such as James 5:13-16) tells us to bring ourContinue reading “VERTICAL | HORIZONTAL”

If you asked me a number of years ago what I wanted in a wife, it probably would have been a short list…1. Blonde.2. Into me. In Proverbs 31, the author of the book gives examples of what one should look for in a wife. These things are… Noble (v. 10)Trustworthy (v. 11)Supports her husbandContinue reading “INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY”

Good (physical) health starts with clean hands. The CDC recommends washing your hands for 20 seconds. While this doesn’t seem like a long time, counting ”One Mississippi…” through ”Twenty Mississippi…” is tedious. While good PHYSICAL health begins with clean hands, I would argue that good SPIRITUAL health begins with scripture. In his book, Emotionally HealthyContinue reading “PHYSICAL & EMOTIONAL HEALTH”

Craig Groeschel wrote that holidays can be a magnifier. Meaning, if things in your life are good, holidays can magnify that goodness. However, if things in your life are hard, holidays can magnify that struggle. Valentine’s Day is a magnifier. For those in a loving relationship, Valentine’s Day can magnify that love. For those experiencingContinue reading “MAGNIFY”

Shortly after Claudia and I got engaged, she shared with me that she wanted our wedding processional song to be “Goodness of God.” During this conversation, I don’t think either of us knew just how hard our engagement season would turn out to be. As our engagement season proved to be harder than either ofContinue reading “GOODNESS OF GOD”

I don’t often find myself rereading many books. I tend to prefer to read something new, something fresh. Yet, even though I’ve read through the books of the Bible a number of times, it doesn’t feel like a rerun. For me, a text that has been rigidly researched and memorized is still a device forContinue reading “DISCOVERY”

One of my favorite games to play growing up was tag. I enjoined the back-and-forth chase; the mutual pursuit.  As I chased the other kids around the playground, I’d run as hard and fast as I could to catch up to them. When I finally did, I’d reach out my hand, swat them on theContinue reading “TAG”

Google defines the word ”preach” as “(to) deliver a religious address to an assembled group of people.” Meaning, a preacher is someone who delivers a religious message to a group of people. Pretty straightforward, right? When I think about preaching the Gospel, Luke 24 immediately comes to mind. The three words “He has Risen!” areContinue reading “PREACH”
