Last week my 3 year old daughter Katelyn, whom I affectionately refer to as “Booger,” called me out!  Abby and I were in the Kitchen and I thought we were having a discussion.  I don’t remember what we were talking about but evidently it was intense.

It’s official!  I’m excited to announce that after several months of intense prayer, many visits, and several interviews, God is calling us to advance His Kingdom in

Every week the excitement begins brewing on Wednesday, continues to build on Thursday, and cannot be contained on Friday. 

I recently came across this description of unction while reading and thought it was so good that it should be shared.  There is quite a lot of talk about church growth methodology but you don’t hear much about this in the discussion!

Today I lost a friend and the world lost a saint.  Buck Bewley was 84 years old and I had the honor of shepherding him for a decade.  During that decade Harrah Church went through many changes and Buck stood by my side the entire way.

Life can be overwhelming!  I have 5 small children, my wife, 2 dogs, 2 horses, a growing ministry with a Christian school and early learning center, speaking engagements, family, friends, personal hobbies etc., that all deserve my attention.

When things seem to worsen we must not only be at our best we must also trust God’s sovereignty.   As a young man God gave Joseph a dream of making an impact with his life.  For 30 years his life seemed to head straight downhill at breakneck speed.

What do you do when things in your life seem to be going from bad to worse?  Its simple−you do what you are supposed to do.  You do the best job you can with the hand you are dealt.  That is what Joseph did and he keeps getting promoted.

When you turn over a new leaf you expect things to get better.  That is not always the case when it comes to our faith.  Sometimes things get worse before they get better.  That was certainly the case with Joseph.

A spiritual sponge is a person who constantly soaks up your spiritual energy.  This can be good or bad so you have to use discernment when it comes to spiritual sponges in your life.
