God’s Word…part4

I want to share a passage today that has impacted my ministry more than any other verse. This verse challenged me and in fact showed me that I was relying on my own strength and ability to lead people to Christ rather than trusting God to do it. In some […]

God’s Word…part3

One particular verse from the Bible has meant a lot to me personally.  There was a year of  my life when I felt so overwhelmed.  Have you ever felt that before?  I was going to school full-time for ministry, planted a brand new church and was preaching almost every weekend, […]

Well, most of you know I have embraced a new look with my hair as of late. But I thought it might be time for a new look on my blog. Since everything is changing…I might as well change everything! Or is that the best thing for me? When you […]
