  • Be Yourself In Prayer

    And if you’ve been here for any amount of time, you already know - The moments where you don’t quite have it together.
    The moments where faith feels real… but also a little awkward.

    And today, I want to talk about prayer.

    Because if we’re being honest, prayer is one of those things that can feel awkward fast.

  • “Why Technology Can’t Save Us From Death (But We Wish It Could)”

    Scientists have frozen bodies. Heads. Cells. Embryos.
    But no human being has ever been revived after cryonic freezing.

    And yet… people keep doing it.

    Some of the most famous, intelligent, wealthy people in history chose to be frozen after death—not because it works, but because maybe someday it could.

    That alone tells us something important about the human heart.

    We don’t just fear death. We fear finality.

    One of the most well-known examples is baseball legend Ted Williams. After his death, his body—specifically his head—was cryonically preserved. The idea wasn’t that science could bring him back now, but that future technology might.......

  • I Will Be The Sixth

    Friday January 16th 2026. Only five agencies have this contact in the entire State Of Mississippi. I am believing I will be the sixth.

    In Jesus Name.

  • Gift Card Exchange

    You ever notice how gift cards are supposed to be one of the easiest gifts to use…
    and somehow they’re the easiest to lose?

    They end up in wallets, junk drawers, coat pockets, or forgotten envelopes. And every year, billions of dollars in gift card value goes unused. Real money. Already paid for. Already owned. Just misplaced.

  • "Knocking On A Deaf Mans Door"

    There’s an old image I came across called “Knocking on a Deaf Man’s Door.”
    And the first time I saw it, I felt it more than I understood it.

    Because if you’ve lived any amount of life, you know exactly what that feels like.

    You knock.
    You wait.
    You knock again—maybe a little louder this time.

    You’re hoping for movement.
    For a sound.
    For any sign that what you’re saying is being heard.

    But nothing comes.

  • Small Things

    In this episode, I share a simple moment that turned into a powerful lesson. While struggling to fix a tiny pin in a watch bracelet, frustration set in fast—but stepping back taught me something bigger: sometimes it’s okay to walk away and let someone else handle the small stuff. Tune in as I reflect on patience, perspective, and learning when to stop forcing things that just aren’t clicking.

  • I Don't Have Any Rules.

    That was the statement a Sunday school child made to me today. Wow! Eleven years old. Kids these days need their parents to be present.

  • The Movement

    You ever notice how easy it is to judge things by the outside?

    Two watches can look almost identical.
    Same steel. Same weight. Same shine on the wrist.
    From a distance, you’d swear they’re the same.

    But then you open them up.

    And what’s inside tells a completely different story.

    One has a movement that’s been carefully crafted, regulated, refined.
    The other works too—it keeps time—but it’s built differently.
    Different purpose. Different cost. Different depth.
