Noah found favor because he walked with God. We too find favor when we walk with God, but do you know how? Here are 5 steps to walk with God.

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 […]
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 […]
Oh no…FOMO!
FOMO Maybe you’ve heard of the acronym – FOMO? It stands for the phrase “Fear of Missing Out.” It speaks to the experiential nature of our culture.

Happy (day after) Tax Day! Will all be lost?
Death and Taxes… What better way to follow up our national tax day than with this famous passage in Matthew. I hope it’s encouraging for those of who wrote checks to the IRS (my hand is up)! Matthew 22:15-22 NLT Then the Pharisees met together to plot how to trap Jesus into saying something for […]
Prison Break
So Disappointing! Matthew 11 is a picture of a life slipping away. John the Baptist is rotting away in prison, so he sends a message to Jesus. Are you the one? How disappointing life must have turned out for John. He was fulfilling an age-old prophecy to foretell the coming of the Messiah, whom he had […]
