If you're anything like me, then the chances are that you've had your fair share of struggles as a leader. These obstacles can be frustrating but in reality, aren't so much an issue to overcome rather than the everyday bumps in our careers and personal lives; this is what I write about on my blog.

Trying to describe what’s going on at Mars Hill Baptist Church is as easy as trying to nail jell-o to the wall. It’s IMPOSSIBLE and INDESCRIBABLE. Someone once said, “If you can explain what God’s doing, then God’s not doing it.” An authentic move of God cannot be...
Last week, Apple summoned reporters to an event to unveil a new version of its popular tablet computer - The New iPad. “Apple clearly sent a message to all of the manufactures lining up to complete with it: Just go home.” (Andy Ihnatko - Chicago...

Quick! How many have heard this phrase: Bloom where you’re planted. I heard this heard statement before and it’s about making the most of what you have and being content with your life. Although I could not find the actual verse that bears directly on this...
Honestly, I do not understand why most churches, pastors, and church leaders do not leverage technology for the Glory of God. Pastors, church leaders, and faithful church attendees who see social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn as evil are...
Fifteen years ago the Lord blessed Shauntai and I with our second son, Joshua. Today’s his fifteenth birthday & I pause to reflect and share wisdom that’ll live with him forever. Unlike material things, our words have the ability to create worlds -...
I started blogging “unofficially” on MySpace (y’all remember them) as a hobby. Now it’s a vital part of my ministry portfolio. I plan to use it to supplement my weekend messages. Don’t you wish Blogger or Typepad had been around 2,000...
