Legos and Shame
My life is really good. I have found that the more joy I experience, the harder Satan fights.ย He is louder than usual this week. He’s relentless. While God has done so much transformation in my heart in the last couple years, there’s still so much left to do. The shame runs deep. Most of my…

4 months later…
Four months ago today, I slammed into a parked truck going 68 miles per hour on the interstate. While I spent a few days in the hospital and am still recovering from a broken back, fractured sternum, multiple right orbital fractures and severe retinal scarring and swelling, I never let a day go by that…

Anything’s Possible: Celebrating life change through baptism
There is nothing special about the water. It’s just water. But it means so much more. It represents life change. It represents a celebration of the freedom I have found in Jesus Christ. I was baptized 15 years ago when I made a decision to put my faith in Jesus, and Jesus alone. It wasn’t a…
