Yes, I know 2017 has just begun. I also know that the choices we make right now are shaping not only 2017, but they’re preparing a future for us that we will be required to embrace (like it or not). In this episode we’re exploring Hebrews 6:4-12 and I’m going to encourage you to make […]

I have some really great memories waking up early and spending Christmas Day with my kids. My kids really contribute to my idea of what a perfect Christmas Day looks like. You probably have some great memories and an idea of what the perfect Christmas Day is, too. In this episode we talk about the […]

Every gift wrapped under my tree is a promise to my children (and especially my wife) that something awesome awaits them on Christmas morning.

Within Christianity, distraction isn’t the problem that apostasy is, but it can be just as deadly. Both distraction and apostasy can end with a broken relationship with Jesus. That’s a really big deal, and it’s […]

Hebrews can be a really scary book, or a really encouraging book. On the one hand, if you are actively pursuing Jesus as a friend, you’re sacrificing for Him, and you’re prioritizing Him, then Hebrews is awesome!
