Somehow over the centuries of time, the word ‘Christian” has lost its power. In my morning devotions I was thinking about how lackadaisical we are with the word Christian, church or Christianity.

Its close to 11PM and I’m physically dragging from a lack of sleep these past few days. I’m currently taking a few moments to decompress from the Q Conference as I listen to OTR’s Drunkard Prayer album. These past three days I’ve spent time with some amazing leaders who have somewhat challenged my thinking and [...]

It’s really easy for us to bypass the present as we always look forward to the future. For instance, maybe you’re a struggling church planter, entrepreneur or non-profit director like myself. You constantly look into the future for “what could be,” which is fine and normal and most likely that is how your gifted. But, [...]
