We live in such a harsh, multi-dimensional world. I’m continuously shocked at how people behave online. We’ve moved from worrying about our face to face interactions with people to worrying about both the offline and online worlds we operate within.

Tomorrow we start a fresh new month. My birthday month to be exact. In honor of my impending birthday, my first 10k race mid month, and a beach trip to celebrate at the end of April, I’ve decided to embark on 30 days of real foods. I’ll be sticking to meats, veggies, fruits, minimal dairy, and […]
Brothers can do a lot of things together, few things are as life changing as heading to the other side of the world to build water wells and minister to people in a third world country though.

Many years ago our church hosted an annual women’s retreat in Destin, FL. Hundreds of women would run away from real life with all their best girls for […]
