Have you ever attended a church service, business meeting or political rally and found yourself riled up in anger as you left? Have you watched a news program or read a magazine article and found yourself upset afterward? If so, you may have fallen victim to what I see as an increasing trend of leadership [...]

For the past four years I have attended Rock Bridge Community Church in Dalton, Georgia where I sit under the preaching of Matt Evans. In the last year I have also made great use of preaching podcasts. If I’m in my car alone I’m probably listening to a downloaded sermon. My favor podcast preacher is [...]

“for me some of the things in traditional (Christian) doctrine just doesn’t work” -Glenn Beck on why he is a Mormon. Pastors, if you need a pump me up Sunday tweet from perry noble to preach you did not study enough this week. Pastors, please stop telling me every time you are going to get [...]
