Last month I read through the story of Joseph in the Bible (Genesis 37-50). Each day I was challenged to share what I learned. Here was my insight for Genesis 37.
You Can’t Handle the Truth!
Truth From the beginning humans have wrestled with truth. What is true? How do we know it’s true? Why is it true? Is it true for everyone? Is it true for just me? In the garden, Eve is standing at the tree (right beside Adam, look it up). The snake questions the truth of God’s commands. Did […]
Rebuild | Renew | Restore
In Kansas City, one of the more popular events each month is known as First Fridays. In the West Bottoms (Kansas City’s old meat packing district), a series of buildings have been turned into stores. These aren’t just any hipster stores. These are stores consisting of reused, repurposed or restored items. You can find any […]
Spoons, Liar and Relax
Spoons, Lying and Relaxing This weekend, I celebrated Independence Day like most people. I hung out with my family. I read, I slept, I grocery shopped and I played games with my kids. My oldest daughter just got home from camp with a couple of games to teach the family. I knew both of them, […]
I Choose the Ancient.
New Versus Ancient Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there would spend their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new. -Acts 17:21 God isn’t just old.

Grace | Unforced Rhythms
Grace is an Unforced Rhythm Sometimes I try way too hard. Specifically I refer to connecting with God. I’m forced. I’m rigid. I’m unnatural in my approach to Him. I make rules and regulations for myself. Read this much. Pray that long. Say these words. Think those thoughts. It’s not just me. It’s human nature […]
I Know This About You
I Know This About You. I have a core philosophy on leadership. Are you ready? It’s not easy to comprehend. Okay, maybe it’s not so difficult…here it is. Everyone is a leader. You are a leader. If no one else, you are leading your family. Most likely you are leading beyond this. It could be […]
Kingdoms at War
Coming soon! I’ve hinted at this for a few months, and I’ve shared it on social media, but I’ll soon be releasing a 30 Day Devotional book. This book will feature 30 daily segments of a short section of Scripture, my thoughts on that scripture and a small prayer. All of it meant to point your […]
Do nothing. Be nothing. Say nothing.
The. Best. Year. Ever. The Golden State Warriors NBA team is all the rage these days. For years they were a championship afterthought. Last year, Golden State won the title, and now they just completed the best regular season of all time. They eclipsed Michael Jordan’s 1996 Bulls team by winning 73 games in one […]
