Digital vs Physical
The digital footprint. One of those phrases that didn’t exist just a few years ago. It’s the trail we leave on-line. But it’s not like a physical footprint, because no matter what you do, it’s there, even when history is “erased.” It’s how the sidebar ads magically show you that book you looked at on […]

The (True) Story of Noah
Since Noah is now on the big screen, I thought I would share this video shot last year when I taught the Genesis passages at a local church verse by verse in about 30 minutes. Sorry, no special effects on this one, but its straight out of Scripture. Jump to 5 minutes in if you […]

The Motive Monster
If you’ve even loosely followed the Oscar Pistorius case, there is a fascinating and intriguing aspect that speaks to our human and sinful nature.

Overcommitting & Underproducing
An out-of-control culture focused on busyness tends to create men who… 1—Over-promise. 2—Over-commit. 3—Under-produce. This starts with the engagement of a project, meeting, or endeavor.
