Today I am beginning a brand new series, a three-series entitled "The Weight of Your Words," "The Weight of Your Words". We've all been told, or we've all heard that actions speak louder than words. And when it comes to [...]

So I wanna begin by talking about your favorite person. I don't know who they are, but everybody has a favorite person, so I want you to think about your favorite person, or maybe one of your favorite people. And this is somebody you know [...]

Hey, growing up in our home, and I bet your home was similar, there were certain words that were off limits in our home. And again, I grew up in a different generation than some of you, but here was one of the big ones. In fact, I, it's hard for me [...]

So, here's something we've all thought and perhaps something, at some point along the way, you have said out loud after someone was found out. Every week, somewhere in the news, or whatever your newsfeed is, or whatever you look at, there's somebody [...]

It's closing prayer, I think that's pretty much it. So here is a verse of scripture, here's a verse from the Bible that appears on no sticky notes, on no makeup mirror, anywhere. "Wives", I haven't even read it yet. "Submit yourself [...]

So a couple of things about me that maybe you can relate to: I don't like to be told what to do. When things are my ideas, I don't mind doing them; but when I'm told that I need to do 'em, for some reason I push back. I know that's immature, and you [...]

Today we are beginning a brand new series entitled "You'll Be Glad You Did: Timeless Advice for Troubled Times". Now here's what we all have in common. This isn't a religious thing. This is just the thing thing. We have all lived. Most of [...]

So here's something that always causes us to stop and stare, perhaps at times, duck and run for cover. And it's an overreaction. An overreaction. You've seen this, you've seen people overreacting to something, and you just have to stop and stare. In [...]

So today is actually part two of a series, two part series called Not in It to Win It. And it's based on my brand new book entitled, Not in It to Win It. And I do not like it when pastors leverage their platform as pastors to sell books, and so I [...]

Last spring, and depending on when you're listening to this, spring of 2021, we were coming out of COVID yet again, you know, we keep coming out of it, and then dropping back into it. We had just finished up a very contentious as you know, election [...]
