The world that Millennials are trying to navigate is vastly different than any landscape seen by previous generations. Therefore our approach to this generation must be changed, and it must be unique.

The Stage and the Closet

I am convinced now more than ever that prayer is the most important use of our time as Jesus people. The world around us is rocking and reeling in the chaos of culture and it desperately needs an encounter with a Holy God who is madly in love with His creation, humanity.

Confessions of a Pastor...

I realized that I had been reading my Bible and crossing it off of the list without allowing it to permeate my life and change me.

Where we are headed!

In the midst of all of this transition we have been praying and asking God for clarity and wisdom about what our next season of life was going to be, or even where it would be. For several weeks all we had was questions, lots of questions.

Hype will not sustain...

Early mornings clear the fog of the noise of life that furiously fights to distract one's heart from the pursuit of its' greatest relationship. There is no hype in consecrating sleep to encounter the King.

Fathering the Family

I recently spoke at the Men's ministry of The Rock Church and shared a message that may seem a little weird coming from me.

It is staying awake for the rest of the day that takes everything out of us!
