I love the passage in Acts 4 where the believers are praying for courage and they ask for great boldness in preaching God’s word and for power to do the miraculous… The bible says after they prayed the place where they were meeting was shaken and they all preached the word with boldness. God’s been [...]

I have to get a ton of things done before I head out to Decatur tonight.  I’m meeting up with this guy tonight and we’re going up tomorrow to meet with this guy and a bunch of church planters in Nashville.  I’m glad to get to rub shoulders with some guys that are knocking it [...]

I’m going old school today and bringing back a principle from Henry Blackaby’s "Experiencing God"… It’s been around a long time and the principles in it are timeless… because they’re biblical!  One of the principles at work reminds us that God is ALWAYS at work all around us.  Sometimes you may not think He’s at [...]

Yesterday was a great day @ Journey.  We had lots of guests, JourneyKidz was rockin’ and full, the band did a great job and Merideth knocked it out of the park on Martina McBride’s anyway!  We finished up the Sermon on the Mount series and I’m ready for the next 3 weeks as we prepare [...]

I woke up at 3 am this morning because of a thunderstorm… so I got up and began to pray and read a little… think a little and process some of the stuff that I learned at Evolve.  Here’s my 3:30 version of a Friday mind dump of stuff I realize I’ve gotta do: I [...]

All I can say is WOW!  Evolve Conference was amazing.  I felt like it was just for me.  Every session hit me hard… right between the eyes… repeatedly!  I’m not going to rehash the conference or put notes up on my blog… lots of other guys do that… plus, It’s going to take me days [...]

I can’t wait to head out to ATL tomorrow for Evolve Conference @ Mountain Lake.  I think I’m getting sick, I had a touch of vertigo today so my head was spinning most of the day… I’ve been laying on the sofa most of the day watching the Daytona 500… I love NASCAR!I hate when [...]

A lot of you know that I challenged myself to pray 100 hours over the next 30 days for our church to grow… (I first heard Bil Cornelius @ churchplanters.com conference say he did that).  I’m almost a week in and I thought it would be difficult coming up with stuff to pray for for [...]

This week has been a wildly busy week, so I find myself a little bit behind where I should be getting ready for Sunday… BUT…in about 15 minutes my beautiful, funny, talented, and incredibly Godly wife will be getting home and I’m going to unplug and she’ll have my undivided attention. We’re going to a [...]

Today it has been one week since I called T-Mobile and cut the $20 Blackberry email feature.  I did that for a few reasons… 1) I’m cheap and I don’t want to spend any money on anything that can be duplicated somewhere else.  2)  I’ve been reading a lot of money tips from my friend [...]
