The Big Game

I heard this morning 75% of Americans say they’re planning on watching the Superbowl tomorrow night. That’s impressive. I’m not sure whether to be excited about the Superbowl or depressed it signifies the end of yet another football season. Jett said last weekend. “I can’t believe we have football for like 6 months and then [...]

Celebrating Monotony

Last night I was playing with my youngest son Brewer. I was pretending to be asleep on the couch and each time he walked by me I would jump up and scream at him. He would run off laughing every single time. We did this over and over and over until I just couldn’t take [...]

Snow Day Pics

We had a lot more fun than we had snow…

Redneck Sledding

We don’t get a lot of snow here in Nashville. Yesterday we had about 1/2 inch of snow, that’s really not enough to go sledding so you have to improvise. I call it redneck sledding. [vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/3002888] Tell me about your favorite snow memory?

All Your Needs

I know a great number of us have been living in fear with regards to the economy. Times are tough, but let me remind you of this truth in Scripture. Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Do you believe that? Really? Here’s my [...]

It’s basically saying we believe people, no matter how far they might be from God, can be transformed when they experience the love and grace of Jesus Christ through everyday people like you [...]

Brought To Tears

I saw this yesterday on the Today show and I have to admit I cried like a baby. This is one of the most moving videos I’ve seen in a long time and I’ve spent the last 24 hours scouring the internet to find a copy to share with you. In this video Barbara and [...]

Catalyst and Cornhole

I’m down in Atlanta  for less than 24 hours having a series of different meetings. Our first stop was at the Catalyst office to talk about church, conferences, and life in general. We sat down with Ben Arment, who is the experience and innovation director for Catalyst and Brad Lomenick, the executive director of Catalyst. [...]

Don’t Apologize For It

This past Sunday I took a risk and shared a vulnerable moment from my personal life. I shared a part of the story in THIS POST on Monday. Many people have called and/or emailed me to say “Thank You”.  Many have asked “why don’t more pastor and leaders ‘go first’ and get real giving others [...]
