I enjoy playing sports. As an American boy, I think it was an unwritten rule to grow up playing basketball every time there was an opportunity. Summer breaks were full of trips to school playgrounds to pick up a game of thirty-three or half-court ball. If a friend got a hoop on their garage, evenContinue reading “Make The Change”

Building New Habits Is Possible
There is something fundamental about the role of repetition in building new habits.
Finding My Purpose
Last week I got the opportunity to speak at our college ministry at my church. What I talked about there ties in a lot to my passion for this blog – the fact that we’re here to impact the people around us, and despite often feeling ill-equipped or unqualified to make that impact, we stillContinue reading “Finding My Purpose”
Breaking Barriers
Over the last several years, reading has become a staple in my life.

Here’s another article with some good word-pictures stating the same thing. ThisContinue reading “becoming better”
YOUR CHURCH NEEDS YOU
I’ve had this part of Moses’ story on my mind lately. In Exodus 18:13-23 Moses and the Israelites had already been delivered from Egypt, and Moses’ father-in-law Jethro was visiting. When Jethro came, he saw Moses seated all day with the people lined up in front of him. They would come to him with disputesContinue reading “YOUR CHURCH NEEDS YOU”
Into The Deep
For all this genuine desire to see God move, I seem to be quite adept at settling into the least challenging routine I can find.
