So I’ve worked with students on and off since I turned twenty-two. (26.75-22=4.75yrs.)
I’ve one on one mentored roughly ten teenage boys during that time span.
However, it was last night that I heard maybe the funniest line out of any of their mouths.
I was talking with one of the guys who just turned sixteen. This young man had just went out on his second date with this particular girl. I was conversing with him on how the date went, where they went, what they did; you know all the …

The McRae’s continue to fight this battle of cancer. It’s neither an easy or fun journey to be on. I believe however, far beyond the pain and suffering that is being experienced, that God is desperately hoping to bring pieces of joy into their lives. In bringing that joy, I believe God is offering the McRae’s a hope that will never fail.
In another update in that journey, today I want to share another video with you of Kate. This video is what a day is like …

I’m sure many of you have been following the story of Kate McRae and have been rocked by their every word that they have shared along the journey. I want to help them by continuing to ask for prayer.
Below is a new video with a few updates. The video is about four days old, but still relevant to Kate’s journey.
Take a moment, watch the video, and find a moment to set aside to pray for the McRae family.

This story has rocked my heart.
Completely.
I cannot even imagine going through such trials as this one.
Take a moment, watch this video of a story of a young girl, Kate, who is dealing with a brain tumor that is threatening her life. After watching the video, please take some time daily to pray for her, her family, the doctors, and all involved.

Tonight someone got pissed.
Yep, at a church family gathering, someone got pissed.
It happens to the best of us.
We’re human.
However, later the person replied to me with this statement:
Don’t trip, we cool man. I’m a grown up, I’ll get over it
My response was this:
I think as guys we’ve been raised in the idea that we get pissed, then get over it and move on. I just however, completely disagree with this whole logic. If two people are upset or pissed, or just one of them, the healthy thing …

This blog will be short and to the point.
At Dialogue Church we often worship to the song How He Loves by John Mark McMillan. It’s one of the songs that reaches Dialogue’s core. Today I was informed of a David Crowder Band version of this song. The song is to be launched on their new album I believe to be titled ‘Church Music‘. Needless to say this excited me.
Below is a link for you to go and listen to the full song before the album comes …

Today I woke up to a message from Christian’s,one of my student’s, mom. The message stated the following:
Could not sleep. I wanted you to know we all need extra prayers at this time. Andy passed away today. Lizzy and I found him around 7:30 and he was already gone. We are not sure what happened or when but he had been there at least 12 hours per the coroner. His parents, sister and boys are in …
