October has been a fun month of creativity. I’ve spent the last 25 days taking on a challenge each day to stir up the creativity inside me. Something I choose to do every day is challenge myself. I’m not perfect at completing all the challenges I set out to do, but I’m consistently reminding myselfContinueContinue reading “When Creativity Feels Empty.”

Back to Back
Have you ever had another leader fail you? Have you faced the disappointment of a leader in your life talking about you behind your back? Have you walked away discouraged from a conversation that headed south because of pride? Leading back-to-back is a method of leadership that protects you and others from these types ofContinueContinue reading “Back to Back”
God wants His throne room back!
A glorious throne, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.Jeremiah 17:12 I really believe if you are a Christ follower you know that God is seated on the throne. You know that this is a place of high esteem, it’s the chair of royalty, and the great position where power of authorityContinueContinue reading “God wants His throne room back!”
Soul Roots
Becoming a fearless, unshakeable warrior for Jesus requires something deeper. It requires for your wretched soul to dig deep, grow deep, and survive deep into the ground of God’s eternal and perfect plan for your life. It requires the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, living deep within your soul to be the inner voice,ContinueContinue reading “Soul Roots”
Somebody, somewhere is depending on you to do what God has called you to do.
Lengthy title I know. But think about the pressure of this statement. How are we as humans supposed to just know what God has called us to do. If God is calling us to have a purpose, then what is my purpose? If God has a plan for me (Jeremiah 29:11) and a future thenContinueContinue reading “Somebody, somewhere is depending on you to do what God has called you to do.”

I have struggled with discontentment. I have struggled with loss of reputation. I have struggled with confusion and depression. IContinueContinue reading “Redemption is a beautiful thing!”
The Ugly Truth!
The title of this post reflects many times in my life where I felt spiritually far away from God, like God was nowhere around…but countless times in my life when I have found myself in this place I have had to face the “UGLY TRUTH.” God did not leave me, he did not go anywhereContinueContinue reading “The Ugly Truth!”
My friends say my CROSS is an X
On my way home tonight my very intelligent 4-year-old shared this story with me. This was our conversation about Jesus. Violet: Mom, my friends say my cross is an x. Me: what do you tell them when they say that? Violet: I tell them that it’s a cross. Me: who died on the cross Violet?ContinueContinue reading “My friends say my CROSS is an X”
Dumping God?
I know this title seems a little rude and off my rocker a little bit, but in true sense as I read my word yesterday in the Book of Zephaniah I saw how so many of us have dumped God altogether. In the book of Zephaniah you will find an author who is predicting theContinueContinue reading “Dumping God?”
Moving to Heaven!
So yesterday got me thinking about my life as a Christian. Just a few weeks ago we had to say Goodbye for just a little while to one of our special one of a kind youth leaders at Free Life, Bryan Reese, because he was killed in an automobile accident. This young man was soContinueContinue reading “Moving to Heaven!”
