Have you heard there’s an election coming up? Of course you have! The ads, headlines, and unsolicited commentary on social media from your friends who are suddenly political experts have all made it clear who you need to vote for. In fact, the extremes have no problem saying things like “from a faith perspective” or […]
For the past eight years, I’ve attended the Global Leadership Summit (GLS), an event that unites leaders from various fields to explore and elevate leadership. Here are a few reasons why I love GLS and highly recommend you attend this year’s event in just a couple of weeks! 1. Their Definition of Leadership Leadership isn’t […]
**UPDATE** In October of 2024, Logos launched a major update and went to a subscription model. They released a ton of new features making their software even easier to use and far more affordable to start. They have a 30 day free trial and their packages start at $9.99 a month. If you lead or […]
Good podcasts are hard to find! When you do find one, it’s likely been going on for quite a while, and you might want to go back and listen to it all. But it’s SO much! That’s why my first recommendation is a podcast called Curiously Kaitlyn. It’s a new podcast I’ve really enjoyed and […]

I got an email the other day with the subject line, “An easy way to disciple women”. Being on staff at a church where discipleship is a big part of what I do, I was intrigued. I clicked on the email and then the link (just like they wanted me to) and it took me […]
What if I told you I struggled with idolatry? I’m sure some of you may be surprised, but those who know me well know it’s true. For years now it has been something I have fought daily against. Some days are better than others, but every day is a struggle. What may surprise you more […]
Several years ago I broke up with a girl. Afterwards, I had a couple of people asked me what kind of girl I was looking for. My immediate reaction was- NO THANK YOU! I’d had my fair share of blind dates set up by people who had the perfect girl for me, and I they […]
In January, my wife and I began fostering a teenage girl. She’s a sweet girl who’s been through a lot. She is not the first teenager or student we have fostered. We both have done it individually as well as together. She was with us a lot longer than anyone else. There has been so […]
