To Succeed, You Will Fail.
I want to ask you a question today. What does it mean to not fail? Most people when asked this question reply by saying, “Not failing, is succeeding.” Just like this picture above, failure and success have become antonyms. This is not the case. I have found that the two words have a path that is very close together. Although the main concept of that is somewhat true, I would like to...

The Guide for Your Dreams
Dreams are what drive us. They keep a motivation for us. They help us think about what’s next. But dreams will always stay dreams unless we take small steps to achieve them. Dreams are meant to keep your passion going, but daily decisions are what get you to your dreams.
Today, you will be met with 100’s of decisions and choices to make. We often forget how important each of these...

Can We Hype God?
There has been a lot of conversation going on within our ministry about the idea of hyping God. It has spurred a lot of questions and talk which is always a good thing. I’ve traveled and led worship in many different churches, venues, and festivals and have seen worship come in many different styles. After seeing all that I’ve seen, I do not believe you can hype God. Here are my reasons why:

When Dreams Meet Reality
Everyone has dreams. Some dreams are huge and take years to develop and grow. Other dreams are small and will happen quickly. But what about when reality doesn’t match the dream?
I have seen many people question even the existence of God because of this matter. Why would God give you a passion and a dream but not let it happen? Here is what I have found to be true:
- Every dream has a...

Make Good Choices Pt. 2
I wrote a blog a couple of days ago about making good choices. This is a follow up to that entry on how we can train ourselves to make good choices:
1) Learn your emotions and how to control them.
Emotions can be a killer and we all have them. Fear, insecurity and anger are just a few that commonly effect our decisions. Learn what each of those emotions feels like and control it. When it...

Make Good Choices
This last weekend, we had the privilege of getting to minister in Chicago. As we were walking down the streets of Michigan Ave near the John Hancock building, a son got out of a car and I heard the Mom tell him some simple advice in three words, “Make good choices.”
Such power in such a simple statement. Too often, we forget how powerful our choices are; where we move to, our job, our...

Relationship and Religion
// Most people who know the story of Jesus understand that the Pharisees didn’t receive Jesus as Christ. God sent His son as a gift down to the world and he wasn’t accepted by the religious leaders of the day. I’ve been reading through the gospels again lately and I began to ask myself as I was reading the story of Jesus healing on the Sabbath, “Is there anything God has given me or sent me that I...

Quit Comparing
// Our world and society has set us up to compare our lives to each other. We compare families, houses, cars, jobs, success; the list goes on. Comparing yourself to other people will lead you into a spot that is lonely and where you feel like you are unsuccessful when our success as Christians isn’t based on things of this world but how we line up with the Word of God. Here’s what Paul said, “Oh,...

I ran across this video today and it got me thinking about my friends, family, and people I love and ask myself, are we chasing after the dream God has put inside of us or have we gotten side tracked with something else? God created each of us so uniquely with specific dreams and passions. It is our DNA. It is our lifeblood. It is who we are. Run towards the dream. Don’t let the pressures of...

Who do you respect?
It’s 12:40 Am right now and, well, I CANNOT SLEEP! Insomnia has gotten the best of me tonight. So, I have decided to blog a little bit. I have been pondering a ton lately on people who I respect, admire, and would some day want to have a lifestyle resembling theirs and those who, well, don’t quite match up to that. We all have people that are role models in our lives and if we don’t, we need to...

Am I praying too much?
This scripture really stuck out to me today.
10 As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the LORD. 11 They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? 12 Didn’t we say to you in...

This is my nephew Judah.
He is awesome.
When I recorded this video, I realized how kids will pretty much say whatever you tell them to say and thought, do we do that with our faith? Do we simply just say what we are told or do we know what we believe and why we believe it?
Know the word of God and it is much easier to live it.
Also, mustaches do equal power : )

Today, I threw my back out and went for a walk to try and loosen it up. While myself and Whitney were on that walk, an 75 year old man lapped us. Meantime, I was wearing a cardigan sweater complaining to Whitney that she was walking too fast while holding one hand on my lower back to help with the pain. I guess I am 80 years old now… Maybe I should start eating fruit.
