One of the things that has had the greatest impact on my life has been to go on mission trips. Last summer I was not able to go and it was tough to see the team leave from my church and for the first time in 6 years not be leaving with them. When the trip to Brazil was announced this year, I knew I was going. The trip is from July 24-August 9. [Read more…] about Mission Trip to Brazil

Beauty in the Broken
This blog is inspired by the TED talk “The Power of Vulnerability” by Brené Brown. I’d encourage you to watch the video, but be warned it is twenty minutes long. You don’t have to watch the video for the blog to be meaningful, so I understand if you would rather not. [Read more…] about Beauty in the Broken
Is the Risk Worth the Reward
Let me start by saying Happy Easter to everyone. Not sure if this will disappoint you or not, but this will not be a blog about Easter. Sorry or you’re welcome, whichever applies.
This past week I was in Myrtle Beach and it was fantastic. I got to spend a lot of time relaxing. [Read more…] about Is the Risk Worth the Reward
Starting My Future
This probably isn’t late breaking news to many of you, but this past weekend I proposed to my (then) girlfriend, Angela. The most popular question we have been asked since is, “What did she say.” The answer to that question is yes. A lot of you are probably wanting to know what I did to propose. I have been told it was a “very good story” by a very reputable source (*cough* Zeph *cough*). [Read more…] about Starting My Future
4 8 15 16 23 42
4 8 15 16 23 42… 4 8 15 16 23 42… 4 8 15 16 23 42… Some of you may have lived in a cave and have no idea what those numbers could mean. However, in many of you I have just stirred up some strong emotions. Those numbers didn’t mean much of anything until LOST branded them into our minds. I’d be interested to see the statistic of people who have played those numbers in the lottery. Although I’d be careful, (spoiler alert haha) I don’t know if I would want Hurley’s curse for winning with them. If you haven’t seen LOST be warned that there may be many spoilers in this blog. Read at your own risk. [Read more…] about 4 8 15 16 23 42
Redefining Empty Words
Worship this morning at Charisma Church was awesome. God showed up and it was powerful. We had people down at the altar, bowing down before God, and He was changing their lives. And this was all before any sermon was given. This was simply just the Holy Spirit at work in people’s lives. [Read more…] about Redefining Empty Words
