Good Boys Don’t Go to Heaven

A few weeks ago, as I was driving my 8 year-old son to school, the topic of theology came up. Surprisingly, it often does – kids are very curious about God, and that’s a good thing. We were discussing Heaven, which is a very cool topic. In the middle of our conversation, he said somethingContinueContinue reading “Good Boys Don’t Go to Heaven”

What if we got it wrong?

There I was, with the rest of America, watching the election results roll in. Frankly, there weren’t too many channels to choose from on the ol’ TV that weren’t covering the elections on Tuesday night. The commentators were rattling on, and on.

I Failed…Again

Believe it or not, I am a failure.  I know, it’s really, really hard to believe.  But, it’s true.  I fail…a lot.  (And, it’s not just me)  Every pastor, evangelist, youth leader, and every other church leader, member, or officer has failed many, many times as well.  Though the failures are all different (ranging fromContinueContinue reading “I Failed…Again”

Who Would Buy This?

  I have to admit.  I’m asking that question a lot today.  I finally published my first book, called Metamorphosis: Transformed from the Inside-Out.  It is based on a weekend youth conference that Impact 4 Youth produced back in May 2012 – where I was the speaker.  So, the material was there; but writing isContinueContinue reading “Who Would Buy This?”
