There is something transformative about serving as a team. We enter as individuals and leave with a bond and understanding of one another that, at times, extends beyond the line of friendship. Family has never been only about blood; our shared experiences, mutual support, and commitments to one another in life’s joyful moments and challenges define family. It’s about being … Read More
Why missions?
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” – Acts 1:8 We are called to serve local communities (Jerusalem), to neighboring regions (Judea and Samaria), and ultimately to all nations (ends of the earth).

Relationships 101
Relationships are SO important. Wow – such a profound statement, right? This blog has me thinking about this as top of mind recently based on the phase of life I find myself in. Plus, some recent happenings have also been placed at the top of my mind as well. A friend of mine passed not too long ago. It was heartbreaking … Read More
BE DRIVEN
Being driven has been a “something I was born with” asset since the beginning. I have always been competitive with sports growing up. I had Ricky Bobby’s dad, from Talladega Nights, voice in my head all the time saying, “If you ain’t first you’re last.” That mentality has been a great asset in my life, but just like in the … Read More
Contentment
I got to go on a dream vacation this year with my wife and another couple. We left the kids behind and got into the sun in Mexico at an all-inclusive resort. 80 degrees and sunny every day – all you can eat and drink. We played volleyball and lounged around the pool all day. It was perfect…… for the … Read More

I’m a guy who has been largely successful in my own little corner of the world. And while I’ve been a Christian for nearly 20 years, I have always thought that my … Read More
Pain of Discipline or Pain of Regret
by Joey Jenkins I heard this powerful quote from Jim Rohn many years ago that still rings true to me today. “We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.” I don’t know about you, but this quote rings painfully true … Read More
Motive Check
I recently started a new job. I wasn’t really looking for anything new when a friend approached me with the opportunity. From that point, everything happened within the span of 3 weeks – from initial discussion to an offer, to starting my first day. The company that I left has been growing significantly over the last few years and doesn’t … Read More
God Space – Part 2
In my first blog about God Space I talked about the “WHY” behind sharing the gospel. In this one, I wanted to spend a little bit of time talking about the “WHO” and the “HOW.” The WHO is pretty simple, right? Everyone in our lives who doesn’t know Jesus as their savior and is living a life apart from Him. … Read More
The Rise and Fall of American Churches
This blog is in response to the podcast, “The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill,” but I think applies to many similarities that are happening throughout churches all across America. I want to preface this blog with a couple of things… I haven’t even finished all of the episodes of this podcast yet from Christianity Today, but had a few … Read More
