Going on Mission
I met David about 3 years ago. We were both at a church function, and I very much enjoyed getting to know him that night. Over the years since then I have had the opportunity to meet with him at least a few times a year. Each time I am captivated by the stories … Continue reading Going on Mission
I believe
We've all been asked to believe some things that just don't make sense. Jesus asked His followers to believe some pretty outrageous things, but from where I stand He's pretty credible. Here's why. https://youtu.be/HU8dQZ7XkRc
Ministry Report (Oct – Dec 2016)
2016 has been a year of changes and firsts. I began the year by being moved to a new battalion and ended the year with a promotion. In between those events has been a year that has been rich with unique ministry opportunities and first time experiences. Through all of that I have been reminded … Continue reading Ministry Report (Oct – Dec 2016)
Best of 2016
Thank you for sticking with me for another year. I didn't post as much in 2016, but still had almost the same number of readers as the year before. That's pretty amazing and humbling.

But, after years of intentional reflection, goal setting, … Continue reading I’m still not the man I want to be

When leaders defer meeting their own needs so that the needs of those that they lead can be met it tells the … Continue reading Leaders Eat Last
Accountability
Last week someone told me a story about how accountability kept them going and helped them finish a project. Her story reminded me of how having the right people in our lives can help us let go of the wrong things, and reach for the right things. This week's video is an encouragement to allow … Continue reading Accountability
Comparison
It's a trap, and I fall right into it sometimes. I see someone whom I believe to be better off than I am, and I look at myself as a failure. It's not about wishing less for the other person, but losing sight of the blessing of where God has placed me. Comparison … Continue reading Comparison
Drift
I've seen it happen far too many times. Someone loses sight of the shoreline and they drift into danger. In the ocean it can cost your life. In the office or at home drifting can wreck your character, destroy a relationship, or cost you your job. In this week's video we'll talk about what it … Continue reading Drift
