Michael Bolton’s passion-filled song lyrics “Tell me how am I supposed to live without you…” have been running through my head the past couple of days. Heather left Friday for a week-long work trip to Atlanta, leaving me, Gaby, and Kate home alone to fend for ourselves. For those of you who know my lovely [...]

This video was used at REVOLUTION during week 3 of “Happily Ever After”. This is one of my favorite videos that I have ever made. Thanks to Michael Bergstrasser and Lauren Sheppard for starring in this video. Enjoy… This completely ridiculous video actually has a point. Emotional intimacy can be just as dangerous as physical [...]

Never thought God would remind of one of his timeless truths through breakfast, but he did. That is what I get for putting God in a box. After my workout this morning, my amazing wife decided to make me breakfast. The menu called for a chocolate peanut butter protein smoothie and an apple. She reached [...]

This video was used at REVOLUTION during Week 3 of “Happily Ever After“. I walk around before REVOLUTION talking to students and leaders about all types of stuff and craziness ensues. I encounter a TV star, a student possibly hitting on my wife, a possible part girl/part wolf, and much more. Enjoy… ______________________ REVOLUTION Wednesdays, [...]

(This blog post was originally posted on February 18, 2009…) I have subscribed to Sports Illustrated for years. As a subscriber to Sports Illustrated, the annual Swimsuit Edition (first published in 1964) gets sent to my house every February. Here’s the cool part… I have not seen one picture or one article from the Swimsuit Edition [...]

During the month of February, REVOLUTION is in a series entitled “Happily Ever After.” In this series we are taking an honest look at God’s plan for relationships, sexuality, and purity. Being a youth pastor, I get asked quite a bit on my view of teenage dating. Parents will ask. Students will ask. Other youth leaders [...]

“We were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened” (Luke 24:21) Every fact that the disciples stated was right, but the conclusions they drew from those facts were wrong. Anything that has even a hint of dejection spiritually [...]
