Gospel Through Chains: Finding Purpose in Trials
“I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprison...
- Service
God Uses Your Talents to Serve Others
So, in my ongoing search to be a better person, I would always ask God to help me become “a better man.” Funny thing is, I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant. I just knew that it wasn’t who I was feeling I was inside. Well, a funny thing happened...You see, while I was searching and hoping that...

Don't Hide Your God-Given Talents
Are you sitting on your talents God has blessed you with ?“"For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. He who had receiv...
- Prayer
Standing Tall on Your Knees
“Nobody stands as tall as a Christian on his knees”I love this anonymous quote. It reminds me to spend time on my knees and thank the Lord for all his blessings and forgiveness. I need it. And because I need it (forgiveness), and because he gave it, I am filled with His grace. God has me covered...

Finding Your God-Given Calling Amidst Life's Distractions
For much of my life I was a bit directionless. If someone asked me to do something and if it even kind of felt like a good idea, I would do it. I spread myself pretty thin. Because I could turn my hand to a number of things (to a certain degree) I was tempted to follow other people’s dreams and e...

Who Are You Reflecting - God or the World?
So I had a great conversation down in Florida over the weekend with a buddy on this devotional chain about the different stages we’ve been through in life as it pertained to “stuff” we acquired. And when I mean stuff, I’m talking about the fancy cars and expansive homes, etc. We basically conclud...

When God Says No: His Plans for Your Good
When we talk about our struggles and how we are just trying to get through “it” aren’t we really just talking about how we are to deal with God’s NO? I mean think about most of the disappointments you’ve experienced. Probably the one thing they all had in common is they didn’t fit into your plan...
- Suffering
God's Way Out Isn't What We Expect
You ever notice that when we finally get out of whatever it is we are suffering from it never seems to be the way we thought we would get out of it? Like during our suffering we could never understand or see the way out that God has for us. It’s because it’s His plan for us not our plan for us. H...

New Year: Trusting God's Plans Over Our Own
Happy New Year!While a new year is here and many are making resolutions, don’t forget we need to always be sharing the name who has delivered us, Jesus. Just yesterday, as I was driving home, a young man who I’ve come to know over that last year called me and asked advice on some personal reflect...

Am I Doing Enough With What I Have Left?
Giving my current unique circumstances, I am wondering if I’m doing enough. Not enough by way of treatment, this isn’t a cancer thing, but enough by way of am I doing enough with what I have left. God has blessed me with certain skills, traits and talents. Am I using them correctly, efficiently?...
- Humility
True Heroes: The Power of Humility
These last few years have been somewhat disappointing but at the same time gratifying. You see, somewhere in the crazy journey of mine to grow my relationship with Christ, I think I’m beginning to learn what humility all means. For years I set my sights on accomplishing things that defined “who”...
- Patience
Waiting on God's Perfect Timing
How are we doing waiting on God’s Plan for us? I ask because I’ve been a bit “all over the place” lately wanting to be done with treatments but knowing they’re going to be indefinite…it’s frustrating, but I have to relax and wait. “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wa...

What Are You Waiting For? Step Into God's Plans
What are you waiting for? I’ve been thinking about this simple question for over a week now. You see, last year I was being called to step away from a long career and focus on health, faith, family and friends. While I wasn’t really sure what it was going to look like, I soon realized God had big...
- Purpose
Living Your Purpose as God's Light
As many of you know, I’ve raced motocross for quite some time. But since cancer, I’ve spent most my time flying and riding less. While there certainly isn’t any financial gain to the either of my passions, rather extreme risk, I am certain that God has blessed me with these opportunities for His...
- Seasons
God's New Thing in Every Season
So, I promised you this devotional would NOT be about me and my cancer fight. However, it has given me great cause to reflect on the seasons we go through and why we are where we are. But I strongly believe we are where we are for a reason and God wants us to ask Him to get involved! He wants us...
- Faith
Moving Forward on Faith Alone
I decided to go down memory lane and read through some old devotionals I have written after a nice conversation about these I had at lunch yesterday. Hard to believe it’s be since Summer of 2018…“Sometimes we just have to trust God enough to go even when we don’t have all the answers.” -Tim Tebow...
- Gods Will
God's No Is For Your Good
When we talk about our struggles and how we are just trying to get through “it” aren’t we really just talking about how we are to deal with God’s NO? I mean think about most of the disappointments you’ve experienced. Probably the one thing they all had in common is they didn’t fit into your plan...
- Hardship
Finding God's Purpose in Life's Heavy Burdens
Let keep digging into 2 Corinthians;“For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us...
- Evangelism
Share the Cure
So far this week we’ve talked about what God did for us by sending his one and only son to die for our sins. We’ve talked about loving God passionately and loving others selflessly. But how do we really share the Gospel? By staying on a mission! Now you and I know about God’s grace and the salvat...

Why Does God Allow Bad Things to Happen?
I see a lot of post and stories in the media (that which I allow myself to see) and people seem, generally speaking, so mad and angry. We protest everything for Pete’s sake. Many times I see them questioning God or if there even is one! Why do we sometimes get frustrated or angry with God? Let’s...

Stop Wasting Time - Write Your Epic Story
I’ve had a lot time lately (and the last two years) to think about my life, where I am, who I am and what my time is worth. I’ve made the decision to stop wasting time with things that keep me from being who and what God’s calling me to be, it’s just exhausting...and you shouldn’t either. Don’t l...
- Grace
Starting Over: Grace for a New Life
One of the things I think about a lot is the grace that God has shown me. Like in the song, “I was blind but now I see..”. But no matter how grateful I am, I still have the moments when I think back on my life to times that make me cringe. I look back and realize no matter how hard I tried, I mad...

There's Got to Be More: Finding God in Our Longings
Hey, you ever get that feeling like there is something more? That you are chasing something in life that won’t fully satisfy you? I have. Pay close attention to that feeling though, it’s from God. We see people everyday who seem to be “put together”. People that have a lot of seat time in church...
- Fear
Overcoming Fear and Looking Forward
23So, I’m talking to one of my flying buddies on the phone yesterday and we were discussing our faith and how we rely on it when we are faced with fear. After we talked I pondered on our chat for a while and one of the things I kept coming back to is what and why I feared some of the things I’ve...
