The ten-hour layover was in Dubai, on Easter Sunday. My mission team was flying back from Johannesburg (SA) to Boston. You'd think an...

Jesus offers much. His Name is a Wonderful Counselor and an Everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6). He walks as the pioneer and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). He redeems us by extending His body and blood as the propitiation for our sins (1 John 2:2). “This is my body which is given for you…This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.” - Luke 22:19-20 Let's just say there's a lotta gifts on the table when you go with Jesus. But like your birthday, just be

God opens doors...He closes 'em too. For we have a perfect Father who wants the very best for us. Just think, when we get to Heaven no one shall hunger or thirst and all tears will be wiped awa y (Revelation 7:15-17). But often the will of God, and the reasoning behind it, is straight up incomprehensible. His ways are higher than our ways, and thoughts are higher than our thoughts - Isaiah 55:7-8 Earlier this year, God closed a door that I thought was a great opportunity. I

Whether we like it or not, God often calls us back into the space He saved us from. The Great Commission commands followers of Jesus to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). Quite the broad scope. So how do you narrow down the nations? Where do you find your God-given ministry? Let me offer, it's uniquely where you've been. I was your typical backward-hat-wearing, sailor-swearing, fraternity-flirt who drank too much. Addicted to anything that would give me a lil buzz

Nov 2nd, 2023 — The Gospel was presented to me. My heart was softened through the tirelessness of addiction (Psalm 34:18). I recognized my brokenness and was desperate to put my hope in something outside myself. God gave me a rock to stand on that day, and I received Jesus as my Savior. Nov 2nd, 2024 — I was baptized. The Lord put it on my heart to publicly witness my commitment to Him (Romans 6:4). Nov 2nd, 2025 — I ran a marathon. God's call for me this year was to particip

The Holy Spirit compelled me to go to a "No Kings" protest. I went purposeful toward hundreds of people braving a relentless rain. But unlike the gray clouds overhead, my heart was closed. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness.” - Ephesians 6:12 My ambition was to scout the enemies playbook, expecting lies and confusion (see James 3:16, 1 Corinthians 14:33, Isaiah 5

We've seen the slogan on playoff rally towels and November political campaigns. Contemporary culture would have you believe that a group's vitality is correlated to their numerical advantage. Right, think of the following behind a popular artist or clothing brand (maybe that's why pastors/politicians/influencers often take a stance of neutrality - God forbid they offend anyone and undermine their social capital). We are taught, it's not good that triumphs over evil, but big w

Jesus taught His disciples to (Matthew 24:16/Mark 8:34/Luke 9:23): 1) Deny themselves 2) Take up their cross daily 3) Follow Me Central...
