Hey friends, While the cross and the empty tomb are the foundational imagery of Easter weekend and of Christianity itself, we're all familiar with Easter's other seasonal icons. There's Lillies, and pastels, fancy hats and dresses, bunnies and baskets (and when I was...
Whether or not you're a fan of professional golf, The Masters marks the annual start of spring with its patrons, blossoming pink azaleas, and dulcet piano theme song. This year marked the remarkable return of Tiger Woods following a nearly fatal car accident 18 months...
Best day of the year? What a strange thing to say about Easter. Why is Easter important? What makes it so special? I guess I wanted to find out. These “Best Day of the Year” signs were held by the greeters at my home church on Easter 2019 when I walked in for the...
Leaning into something new with God can be uncomfortable. There is an element of unsureness that we can encounter because even though we know He is faithful and has never let us down (hallelujah), we can still be uncomfortable when walking into the unknown. If we...
Last week on social media, I shared a Twitter thread from well-known Christian author and speaker, Beth Moore. In the wake of the Will Smith Oscar breakdown and the news of yet another high-profile minister who was losing his ministry to impropriety, she passionately...
Let me tell you what the Gospel is not. The Gospel is not, “I am a Sinner; I work hard to improve myself and God approves me because of my effort.” That is not the Gospel. This is the Gospel: “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Some of us may wonder, “What kind of influence can I have for God if I’m not working in the Church?” And the answer is, “quite a significant one.” B4T and the Great Command B4T is a unique approach to spreading the Gospel to the ends of the earth, as the Lord...

You know when I was a pastor, my passion was the Gospel; the proclamation of Jesus Christ and the discipleship of people through the local church. That was my job. So, my job was pastor, my passion was the Gospel. But now for the last decade or so, I have been back in the marketplace. And you know what? My passion is still the Gospel. I sit at a different seat now. I’m in a marketplace seat. I’m involved in managing apartments and developing apartments and Realestate but my passion as a believer is still the same. My job is different but my vocation (my vocation or “vocare” from the Latin word “calling”) is still the same; the Gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ. I just do that now from a marketplace seat. So, I want to encourage all of you, whether you work in a church, whether you work in a marketplace, whether you’re on the mission field, the vocation and calling of every believer ultimately is the same. It is to embody the kingdom and to proclaim and glorify the name of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth. That’s your job, that’s your vocation.
