• Choose Your Friends Wisely

    Choose Your Friends Wisely

    During my childhood, my “church friends” were my best friends. They were the ones where I spent the night and knew their parents. The ones whose childhood homes I still have memorized in my mind.

  • Dying to Self

    Dying to Self

    I like myself. Most people probably like themselves. And I’ve spent many years developing myself to be the me I want to be (in theory).

My childhood church was not particularly strict, but it was a Southern Baptist church that preferred songs from the hymnal over a repeating chorus on a screen.  Even at camps and outside youth groups as a teenager, I…

  • Sometimes Serving Sucks

    I had an incident recently at church where I really didn’t want to serve God. It didn’t have anything to do with God. I just found myself serving in a capacity where I felt ill-equipped. I found myself working with a demographic I don’t generally enjoy. And I found myself having a bad day in…
