Don and Lee Talk About Happiness This week I was unable to record with Don, but I thoroughly enjoyed the episode. It was great hearing Don sit down with another person in his discipleship group. Honestly, I want a Don and Lee series. Check it out. I have been having audio linking issues so if … Continue reading Don, Lee, and Evangebros
Advent: Hope
Photo by Jonathan Meyer on Pexels.com Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

“Other creatures are not here just to serve our bodily needs”
Once again I heard a voice from heaven that said this to me: God has commanded for humanity's benefit all of creation, which God made on the heights and in the depths.

My wife usually enjoys coming up with questions for both of us to answer that range from the superficial, "would … Continue reading Wrecked.
Rainy Day Books
When I was a young ministry pup, I had been hard into learning the critical analysis and historical context of the Bible and deconstructing it before it was cool.
