Recently I shared a clip on social media about whether robots could be made in the image of God (from episode 31 of Cabernet and Pray). In response to that, I received an overwhelming number of comments online. Now in Episode 33, I reflect on what I learned from these reactions.
This leads me to...
I enjoy playing video games with my kids and by myself to relax. Playing Fortnite has allowed me to experience them "on their turf" in a unique way. It's also a very humbling experience as two of them are far better than me. I contribute best to our squad through encouragement and carrying heals ...
My wife is a diehard Olympic fan, and thus, all sorts of events have been playing on our TV nearly nonstop for over a week now. In addition, I've seen many passionate Christians making very passionate arguments about the Olympics online.
Here are three things I've noticed.
1. Christians are very s...
Consider the simple straw. Does it have two holes or one?
This question divides us into two-holers (one on each end) and one-holers (one hole all the way through). Let's see which one makes more sense.

Rob recently released a fictional sci-fi story called "Where'd Y...

I was invited into this group because we were all planning on becoming Lead Pastors one day. This was a chance for us to...
I just finished a book called Know My Name by Chanel Miller. This was recommended to me by a blog subscriber (thanks Caryn!). And holy cow is it a powerful read.
It's not a fun read, but it's incredibly moving and much-needed. I found myself tearing up numerous times. Chanel writes about her experi...
I write this post in the middle of the most bizarre week of the year. Those unique days after Christmas when time seems to freeze and we all collectively catch our breath from the holiday rush. No one knows what day it is or how to find motivation to do much of anything.
But it's also an invitation...
I was a picky eater as a child, and I carried that into my early years of adulthood. When things got more serious dating Michelle, and she noticed this, I explained my food preferences as "simple."
