Five years: Walk with Freedom
If you know the current version of me, there’s a pretty good chance you know me to absolutely love every moment of my life. I love my career, my church, my people, my city, my gym, my team, my dreams, my Jesus….and maybe most significantly, I love myself. That wasn’t always the case. In fact,…

Your Obedience -> Your Miracles
God rarely removes obstacles from our way, but He always makes a way through them through obedience. Think about it. He gave Noah a way through the Ark. He gave Moses a way through by splitting the Red Sea. He gave Daniel a way through the lion’s den. He gave Jonah a way through the…

March 7, 1997: Mile-Marker
Twenty four years ago today, my little 6-year-old world came crashing down on what should have just been a normal Friday of first grade and playing with my friends. Our neighbor across the street was also one of my best friends. His mom would pick me up and let me play at their house on…

Find a place to check the “rockstar” at the door
This one won’t pertain to everyone. It might be specifically for my fellow Enneagram 3 performer/achiever types. I’m a rockstar and I’m proud of it. I am really good at a lot of things. You are too. If you don’t feel like you are, it’s probably because you’re doing the wrong things or you haven’t…

Going deeper into confidence
I talk about confidence a lot, which is good since I call myself a confidence coach. But what if we went a little deeper? Would that be okay with you? Let’s start with what confidence is NOT. It is NOT arrogance, self-centeredness, ego, pride or being a jerk. The world tells us having confidence is…

All I want is all you’ve got.
In John 2, Jesus asked servants to fill water pots at a wedding that was out of wine. They filled six water pots up with water TO THE BRIM. Once they were finished, He turned their water into the finest wine of the day. God has consecrated this idea in my heart lately. It’s easy…
