On the latest episode of the Cabernet and Pray podcast, I responded to a recently viral clip on mental health in the Christian community. As some of you might be aware, a clip featuring Pastor John MacArthur has been circulating on social media. In this episode, we’ll dive into the theology and a...
This past weekend, I shared a lot of my story (in particular, some challenges these last four years) in a message called "Making It Through Difficult Times as a Couple." It was part of a love, dating, and marriage series at the church.
I taught from a passage where the Apostle Paul similarly sha...
I recently recorded the latest episode of my podcast, talking about some of the things I've been learning through this year's journey with Michelle's health. Ironically, I'm writing this post in the hospital as we are back in for an unexpected surgery to deal with an infection she got this weeken...
I was listening to one of Rob Bell's recent podcasts where he talked about how we have things that matter more to us than they matter to most people. He didn't reference this as a negative trait but rather as a unique gift we have to offer the world from the lens only we have.
He gave an example of...
It stands out to me when I hear the same idea explained in multiple books I'm reading, especially when they are read back to back and especially when the idea isn't the book's main point. For example, I recently finished Jefferson Bethke's book, To Hell With the Hustle (see: Amazon link), and Andy C...
Recently I was driving a couple of my kids back from a Saturday morning baseball game. It was held at a park next to an elementary school, and as we were leaving, a lady swerved all over the place trying to enter the parking lot. I had to stop and wait for her to pick a direction, and I casually sai...
It's been over three years since I was last on staff at a church and I ended my season in full-time ministry as a Lead Pastor. Last week, I shared five things I miss from that season (see: 5 Things I Miss Most), so today I thought I would share a few of the things I miss the least. As a disclaimer, ...
It's been over three years since I was last on staff at a church and I ended my season in full-time ministry as a Lead Pastor. While I wouldn't want to go back, I sometimes miss it, so I thought I would share a few of the things I miss the most.
1. Bringing people along on a journey: I loved how ea...
Today I turn forty. That number sounds like it belongs more to my parents than to me, but here we are. I'm not sad about it... in fact I feel like I'm the best version of myself yet. This seems to be the goal of aging. To celebrate my birthday with all of you, I decided to share forty things I've le...
I was invited to be a guest on the Jay and Brian Show podcast. They run a mortgage company together and started a podcast out of it. Jay and I became friends when we were in a life group together years ago. Both Jay and Brian are great at rapid-fire questions and keeping the conversation interest...
