Confessional :: I’m Ugly

Over the past two years my life has been many things;
Stressful.
Anxiety filled.
Blessed.
Hurtful.
Gut wrenching.
Challenging.
Joyful.
Sorrowful.
Confusing.
I could go on and on with the list of adjectives, but I won’t.
Anyhow, with that said, most of these adjectives are due to my own stupidity, pride, and lack of obedience. There is no way to prepare someone for something that changes them to the core of who they knew themselves to be. Each day of this journey is different. Some days I feel completely defeated, while other days I feel a sense of victory and power …

Spiritual Confession :: Battered & Broken

As many of you have heard, recently Allison and I have decided to step away from Dialogue Church. I can only imagine the surprise and shock that many of you are or have experienced in hearing this news. Allison and I have said nothing but good things about Dialogue and encouraged others to ‘Join The Conversation’. While the spirit has lead us on a new journey leading us away from Dialogue, our thoughts and mindset on Dialogue remain the same. Dialogue was, and is, a place …

God, what do you want me to do?

Last night I had a student ask me this question:
“How do you know what God wants you to do?”
My first response was that he had little clue to how deep that question really was. After initially not really having a clue on where I was going to go with a response, God placed the following on my heart:
“I believe In the beginning we were made in God’s image and when Christ died we became a part of Him. And since we are a part of Him, I believe in …

Dont Touch That!

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 …

Pray for Kate McRae III

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 …

Pray for Kate McRae II

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 video was recorded on July 11, 2009
