It was part of their required reading for any new team members and it was a great introduction to the culture they were developing. This book has helped me professionally and relationally in many ways. The premise of the book centers around...

“So they shook the dust off their feet as a warning to them and went to Iconium. And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.” – Acts 13:51-52 (NIV) Reading through Acts these verses jumped out at me today.

This book is one of the most incredible and inspiring books I’ve ever read. Jennie Allen writes in a very transparent and humble style that made me feel a part of her story as I related to so much of her struggles as she grasped for significance.

I never drive alone in quiet, I’m always listening to music, or talking on the phone, or praying out loud… I never sit at home without entertainment. Usually there’s a movie on, or...

I’m blessed to work for a man who truly cares about the people who work under him and pursues ways to make their work environment better. We had a very unstructured meeting which I enjoyed but one question...

Yesterday I got to attend an incredible service at Athens Church as they celebrated their 10-year anniversary in style by packing out Stegman Coliseum. Athens Church is where I was first introduced to the teaching of Andy Stanley when I was in school in the Classic City. Andy has probably influenced my life more than anyone outside of my family. Yesterday was my first time...

So last night I missed the first day of my 30 day blogging challenge. I could say I was busy or didn’t have time but really I just blew it off because it was date night. As much as I’m a task focused person I’m really proud of myself for not being a perfectionist and realizing it’s OK to fall short of my goals. The...
