If your life is the slightest bit like mine, you spend a good amount of time driving from place to place on a daily basis. We drive kids to school and sports; we drive to work, church, stores, and events. If I am honest, I spend more time driving than I do spending time alone…

Fueling Faith & Fighting Fear
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7 NLT) My family loves hockey, especially ice hockey. Although ice hockey is still becoming more and more popular in the western United States, it is still quite expensive and less accessible than the many…
Following Jesus
And immediately they left their nets and followed Him. (Mark 1:18 ESV) Life is a journey, and every one of us journeys through life uniquely.

The male gender especially enjoys challenging their peers and friends to take things to the next level…
You Are a Victor
This past week, my oldest son who is 13 years old, found himself in a heap of trouble at school when the principal learned of his “questionable” gesture on the basketball court. My son was having fun, joking and jesting with his friends on the court, but he went a bit too far in his…
You Are Prayed For
As I journey through a season of unemployment and seek God wholeheartedly, I enjoy God teaching me things that I have not slowed down to think about and contemplate intently. One of these things is intercessory prayer. If you are anything like me, seasons of difficult trials and waiting on God can sometimes leave you…
You Are Unique
I am passionate about identifying and extracting people’s unique talents and encouraging them to develop those gifts to their full God given potential.
