Rest because you're not God

In Genesis 1, our story opens up with our creator going through movements and rhythms of work. Making the days, nights, oceans, galaxies, filling the former void with the textures of mountains and animals of sky and land to move about. He creates all of this and with each movement, he steps back to say, "this is good."

Everyone has a bucket list...

Everyone has a bucket list. You know, a list of items you want to do or accomplish before you “kick the bucket”. Whether you have written these things down or have just said to a friend “I would like to do ____ before I die”, all of us have a bucket list.

Sermon on the Mount PT. 5

Near the end of the sermon on the mount, Jesus makes this statement and I can only imagine the shock that it sent through the crowd.

Sermon on the Mount PT. 4

Then He goes on to say that loving those that love you is without reward. The reward comes when we love those that do not love us.

Sermon on the Mount PT. 3

The idea of just choosing not to worry was not even a possibility because I was truly drowning in emotions beyond my control.

Beware of Goldilocks

If I could tell young leaders going into ministry in some capacity one thing to always remember it would be “Beware of Goldilocks!”

My Favorite Parable...

What I love about this parable is the reminder that Jesus is always doing a new thing!

Intentional.

Intentional.

Honest truth is, for the past couple of years I’ve simplified more and more my approach towards my time with God. Fine tuning what time I do have set aside and taking full advantage of it.

Before I started leading...

This is what I wish someone would have told me before I started leading people, that my legacy isn’t about me…it’s about everyone else.

Connecting with Heaven...

I don't believe there's a perfect pattern to spending time with the Lord, but I do believe that making it a pattern is the most important part of our human existence.

Finding a rhythm...

"I'm not a morning person. Waking up super early to spend time with The Lord is giving Him the worst of myself, which I'm sure is totally cool and He could use that but just as in any relationship, I want to be present, I want to dialogue, I want to be engaged."

I don’t like to think of my God time as something that I need to “knock-out”; but then again, my days get so busy that if I don’t make time for it in the morning, there won’t just magically be time for it later.
