- Social Media
Stop Measuring Your Worth by Social Media Likes
I’m sure I’m not the only one who plays on social media in this group. It’s ok, I’m sure we’re not alone either. But there’s a catch; why are we playing on social media? Is it to see what our friends and families are up to? Maybe, sure. Is it to let the world know how put together we are? Ha, pos...

Being Who God Wants You to Be
You ever wonder if you’re being who God wants you to be or who others think you should be?“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”Galatians 1:10 Maybe you are worried about what o...
- Money Management
Money Can't Buy Happiness, But Management Can
23Let’s talk about money and happiness for a minute. It seems these days our society is trying to convince us that having more will bring us happiness. “No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. Yo...
- Gods Grace
His Grace is Sufficient
In 2 Corinthians 12:9 God says, “my grace is sufficient for you”. I feel like this is a message for us to the answers we seek. What I mean is we pray for God to remove certain things from our lives and sometimes it feels like He’s not answering. But what if He has already answered us with a hidde...
- Trust
Finding Security in an Uncertain World
Look, most of us have large expectations for our life and what it’s going to looks like. What it looks like for each of us varies as much as the differences in each of us. That’s ok. Whatever our ambitions, most of us have at least some idea of what our futures might hold.All well and good. But t...

When God Says No
I was thinking yesterday about what I’ve written in the past about God’s “no” and how we respond. The thing is the more I thought about it the more I realized not only is God saying no to us and our plan, he is in fact saving us from ourselves! Think about it, what would your life be like if ever...

God's Detours: When the Unexpected Path Leads Home
I don’t know about you, but when I think back on the road God has sent me down in my life, it’s a miracle I ended up here. I mean, I’m probably not alone in that the path we’ve all taken has been full of detours and side roads along the way. But as I reflected over the long weekend while I flew a...

Understanding Life's Detours
We always run into detours or audibles in the road map or play book of our lives. We all do. Especially in our relationship with Christ. But why? Why can’t we just be saved and just cruise through life knowing we’re headed for eternity with our maker with no issues here? Well, let’s talk about it...
- Identity
Seeking God's Approval First
Most of you know me pretty well and know I am a sucker for some good social media. I really do enjoy it (when it’s not politics and hate). I stick with 4 topics-dogs, dirt bikes, airplanes and family. But its got me thinking about who we are and what what we are doing with it.You see, with the ad...
- Disappointment
When Disappointment Becomes Direction
If you’ve ever competed in anything or spent much time trying to accomplish anything, then I’m sure you’re familiar with disappointment. I say this jokingly, because clearly we’ve all had disappointments in our lives. However, the disappointments we face can either keep us where we are or catapul...

When Disappointment Strikes - God Handles Your Pain
Have you ever been disappointed? Of course you have. Ever been disappointed in yourself? Uh…yeah. No question we all have and it can come from many different things. We can be disappointed in other people, events or even disappointed in ourselves when things don’t go the way we expected or we act...

God's Plan Unfolding Before Us
God’s Plan for our life is unfolding before us but often times it’s not visible to us. Most of the time I would say it’s happening so slowly that I’m not sure if it’s happening. But then, when I least expect it and through no effort of my own, God reveals pieces of his plan to me. The things that...
- Witnessing
Planting Seeds, Not Moving Mountains
So, will we always see the result of the work we’ve done by witnessing to others and being there when they need us the most? Most certainly not. But that shouldn’t discourage us from being there and sharing the Gospel. You see, we never really know how God is using us, we just need to have faith...
- Opportunity
Making the Most of Every God-Given Opportunity
I’ve been thinking over the weekend about some of my habits, but good and bad, and how I’ve been using the talents God has blessed me with. More specifically, am I taking about the opportunities He’s put before me and if I’m using them? Well, I hope so and I hope you are too. But understand, oppo...
- God As Father
God Our Father: Adopted as His Children Through Faith
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend (I can almost feel spring!) and is ready to get back to work with our daily walk with Christ. Today is Presidents Day, and while I admit, outside of acknowledging the existence of past leaders of our county, it means nothing to me. But it does give me pause...
- Identity In Christ
Your True Identity in Christ
Ask yourself this, what is your identity? People mostly answer that question with a title. I’m a mom. I’m a dad. A golfer, racer, vegan, cross fitter, husband or wife...whatever. But that’s not necessarily your identity. It’s regarding the world but what about your identity in Christ? Well, you’r...
- Gods Purpose
God Isn't Done With You Yet
I believe in something very simple. Regardless of your age or current phase of life, God isn’t done with us yet. Despite our sometimes dissatisfaction of where we are in our life currently, God has us right where He wants us for a reason. Look, I’m as guilt as the next for daydreaming and looking...

You've Survived 100%: God Uses All Things for Good
This has been a tough week and it’s only Thursday, but you know what, life keeps going doesn’t it? I love the saying, “you’ve survived 100% of everything you’ve gone through so far, so there’s a good chance you’re going to make it through this...”The things you go through make you unique. Everyon...

God's Unchanging Purpose in Our Changing World
Life changes but God remains the same! Yep, it’s true. Look it up. You see, God is going to continue to do what he’s always done and that is he heals and forgives us. He’s going to continue to watch over us and set our path. His path for us remains the same and His purpose hasn’t changed. What is...
- Repentance
Getting Back on Track: The Power of Repentance
I got to thinking about how life seems to ebb and flow with good times and bad. More specifically, I got to thinking about how we can get stuck in the bad. I’m talking about that “stop the world I just want to get off this ride” feeling. We’ve all had it, but what do we do to get off “that ride”?...

Trust God When You Don't Have All the Answers
With football season here, why not snag a good quote from a retired football player who out spreading the gospel. “Sometimes we just have to trust God enough to go even when we don’t have all the answers.” -Tim TebowSo as a UGA fan, I didn’t care for him when he played, but I certainly admire his...

Never Alone: God's Presence in Hard Times
This has been a great week for me, and I hope you too, for digging deep into God’s word and focusing on being intentional about my gratitude. I feel like we have had some great discussions about when and where God is in good times and in bad. But there’s a little something more I’d like to talk a...

His Plan, Not Ours: Growing Through Suffering
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...

Bloom Where You're Planted: God's Purpose in Trials
“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”Jeremiah 29:7 God didn’t put you where you are by mistake. He doesn’t make mistakes. When we believe in our hearts God is good and that His though...
