This is what I like to pray on my way home. I call it the transition-2-home prayer. I've already left my work clothes at work, showered to feel new, and have had 45min of drive time to pray, reflect, and prayer journal via my recorder...be blessed.

I'm learning to be thankful in all situations frustrating situations.

A car is such a junk idol...

Times of Peace And Quiet are real dangerous times for me...

I just completed 180 weeks of social media detox. The only reason why I got back on Instagram is because my Brother convinced me its a good platform for the gospel. I agree. But 3.461 years later nothing has changed. I'm still tempted to look at things I shouldn't look at. One glance at a scandalous profile will have me "thinking" all day. Once again I'm wondering who is following me and who wants to friend me. I have all sorts of worries that were not present in the past 180 weeks. Most of all I am not mature enough to be on IG alone. The way forward? I will push the gospel thought this platform, set boundaries (i.e. only check periodically), and come clean when my heart goes dark. This is the new me; through Him I can do this. If not, I'm kicking in the 180 year fast! booya.

I always get asked about my weekend. Today God gave me a completely different conviction. I had no idea it was going to come out like it did. I just want God to love my family this weekend...though me.

The problem of evil can come up at any moment. How will we respond? With a "solid" apologetic irrefutable answer, or with the gospel message told through a broken sinners testimony?

It is not common to hear candid stories of "regular" pastors. Come to find out they are just like the rest of us. Real people with struggles. Here's just one example. My friend and co-laborer in Christ, Mark Carpender. Mark takes us through his journey from Soldier in Iraq to 20 years of the Pastorate and now shepherding his family. I'm inspired every day by Mark's humility, transparency, and erudite demeanor.

I never knew the frequency of my sin until I was fully exposed. Since then, my eyes have been opened and now I see ALL my sin.

We all need to be able to respond to the problem of evil and other topics that come up during 9-11 discussions. Here's my take...
