Let me ask you a second question: What did you feel when you read my first question? I’m going to guess that most likely you felt some form of guilt. As soon as you read that question you wanted to lower your head and something to the form of, “not as good as it should [...]

An area where I’ve been trying to improve myself the last several months is confidence. I feel that sometimes I hold myself back with my own doubts and insecurities. When I’m around other people who have great confidence I’m impressed and encouraged by observing the freedom they seem to feel in being themselves. If you [...]

A little over eight months ago my book was released. I worked on writing the manuscript for almost three years and utilized the help of two editors. The book has not hit the bestsellers list (yet) but I have enjoyed the feedback I have received. A couple local book stores have decided to carry the [...]

When the music started I stood up and began to sing……..and that’s when it happened. During the first song I began to sense an atmosphere [...]

A couple months ago I was sitting in the back at one of our church’s baptismal services and I realized how much I was enjoying the service. I was there to volunteer and for the BBQ meal that followed, but part way through I realized that perhaps for the first time I was getting a [...]

As I had mentioned before, I went with some friends this past Sunday to Anderson, South Carolina to attend NewSpring Church. I had been there about 18 months ago for their Unleashed conference but never for a regular Sunday service. It was at that conference in ’08 I was introduced to Perry Noble, and have [...]
