Here is an overflowing of the pressing that was on my heart.
Thoughts on Humility (Part 3)
They knew that Jesus was everything that they needed to have self-control and show mercy when it was hard, everything that they needed to make the peace and not hold a grudge, and everything that they needed to face persecution with the hope of a kingdom in heaven.
Running Your Race of Faith
I have had the opportunity over these last few months to be a part of Trillia Newbell's launch team for her new book Sacred Endurance. Yes, I did receive a free digital copy of the book through Net Galley, but that was just so I could give you my honest opinion of the book. When … Continue reading Running Your Race of Faith
Thoughts on Humility (Part 2)
Pride steals your joy, wrecks your peace, drains your patience, keeps you from being kind or gentle (or at least thinking those things), and pride makes excuses for your lack of self-control.

Pavilion Update
God showed up today and a whole bunch of people did too. At one point, we had over 30 people at the pavilion working, serving, and watching God move. The neighborhood saw God move too. Too many times over the past year, the unfinished pavilion has been a site of disappointment to me; that unfinished … Continue reading Pavilion Update
My Mountain is a Pavilion
My mountain is a pavilion; an incomplete pavilion for the community garden.
How Did Zebedee Feel?
This past Sunday at Journey Church Joplin, Pastor Matt spoke about our willingness to follow Christ. He took his message from the passage of scripture about where Jesus calls his first disciples: Peter, Andrew, James, and John. Matthew 4:18-22 captures this moment when Christ’s upside-down kingdom begins. You see, these four fishermen were working and … Continue reading How Did Zebedee Feel?
