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

Get Back Up
I fell last year. I don't mean that I tripped, but more that I failed. It wasn't a moral or ethical failure, but it was a failure. Let me explain. This time last year I was in the best shape that I have been in for a long time. I was running regularly and working … Continue reading Get Back Up

2015 was a great year. Thank you for being a part of this community and for helping me reach nearly twice as many readers as I did in 2014.

Merry Christmas
This is one of my favorite times of the year. Christmas represents hope, love, and restoration, and for me it serves as a springboard for the New Year. It's a fresh chance to take what God has done in our hearts and allow it to transform us a little each day. The video below … Continue reading Merry Christmas
Keep in Touch
A few years ago I was working on a project for school that required me to interview someone in ministry. A friend from high school was kind enough to share his time with me. He was serving as pastor of a church while he finished up seminary, and was glad to answer my questions … Continue reading Keep in Touch

Most of us have made a commitment similar to this in our wedding vows. … Continue reading Ambushed by Unfaithfulness

Speed or obey the speed limit? Tell the truth or lie? Some decisions are quick and easy: paper or plastic? Dine-in or … Continue reading Decision Time
Where We’re Headed
What follows is primarily for my church, but I would like to share it with you as well. This is the Vision that I presented to my church Sunday. I believe that this is a good description of where God is taking us over the next couple of years and would appreciate your prayers. I … Continue reading Where We’re Headed
Merry Christmas!
As a child I looked forward to Christmas all year long. When the day finally came, like lots of other kids, I was up before the sun staring at the tree just waiting for the moment when my parents would let me tear into my presents. Now, don't judge me. You know you did the … Continue reading Merry Christmas!
Slow Down for Christmas
This is a message I recorded for my church. I thought I would share it here as well because it is so easy to caught up in the activity of the season and miss the real gift that started it all. Here are some suggestions for slowing down: Plan ahead so you don't over commit. … Continue reading Slow Down for Christmas
