Where to start??? Ok, so here’s the deal. I may have a slight problem with TikTok. “Would you say you have a TikTok addiction?” You might ask. “What?! Humph…addiction?! Psh! No!…no…maybe…You know what, no one asked you!” I might respond. And yes, this is the conversation my inner monologue and I have on a regular […]
The One and the 99
This past Sunday (December 5 for those wondering), my home church, Gateway Community Church had its last Seek First worship of 2021. I’d been to the others at our north campus, so I knew what to expect. But then I didn’t. When it comes to God and the Holy Spirit, I think maybe I should […]
Will the REAL Church Please Stand Up?!
Over the last month or so, the group for 20s and 30s at my church (Anchor) went through a message series called Real Church. The impetus behind this series was to talk through the history of the Church and compare the iteration of the Church we grew up with and see today to the Church […]
“I Can’t Breathe”: A HUMAN Problem
I typically stay away from the news because, well it’s depressing and terrible most of the time. So biased in one direction or another. So, I’m usually one of the last people to know when something terrible happens. That has become less the case of late. A friend whom I consider to have one of […]
Finding Faith, Losing Religion and Finding Relationship
So, this topic popped into my head a few weeks ago, while sharing with a friend about the good and bad I’ve seen and faced on my faith journey. I want to give the disclaimer that some of this may be attacking of the school I grew up in. I will not use the school […]

Not For This World
Let me start by being clear that what I’m going to share is not meant to be a “woe is me”. This has been on my heart since a conversation with a friend. I’ve been trying to find the courage to share, and words to say. So, here we go. As most of you […]
Myth Buster: Healthy Friendships Between Christian Men and Women
Disclaimer: This is not written to hurt anyone or make anyone feel badly/guilty. The purpose in writing this is to help others reconcile their head and heart knowledge, and fully believe that healthy relationships are possible. If you’re still with me…here we go. For most of my adult life, prior to stepping back into church […]
Forgiveness: Breaking Chains
If you follow me on social media, you’ve probably read a shortened version of this. But stay with me. I recently met with one of the best dudes I know (he once referred to me as such, and it nearly broke me to ugly crying). This brother from another mother has, almost from day one […]
Dealing with “Unanswered” Prayer and Loss: When the Healing Doesn’t Come, What Then?
Ever suffered loss? What kind of question is that, really? If you’ve lived on this earth for any decent amount of time the answer is clearly “yes”. Maybe, the better question to ask is this…What can be learned from loss? I ask this because of a conversation I had a few weeks back, with […]
