Must post this FB post from a beautiful young lady I’m coaching. We have long and storied relationship and I’m so honored to be in her life. To see this message on her FB page makes my soul sing. I just have to pass it on. “I see a lot of ladies on FB posting […]
Jesus healed the woman with the disease that caused her to bleed. Not much is known about this woman. Not even a name. But what this woman did remained clear in people’s minds. Three of the four gospels have recorded what she did. They missed her name but they did not miss what she bravely […]
I’m a huge sports fan. I know Abner Doubleday invented the game of baseball; I know the football Hall of Fame is in Canton, Ohio; I can name the NY Mets starting lineup from the first game of the 1969 World Series; and I know Jim Thorpe actually never lived in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. But […]
I got married at age 33. On this side of this decision, I wouldn’t have gotten married a moment earlier. But I remember really doubting God when I turned 30 about His plan for my life. That was one of those “wrestling times” that have marked my spiritual life. This link is the story about […]

This a bit weird but I’m going to quote a seemingly wisened Justin Bieber. I’ve been on a series here of how too many people contort themselves to find love or to fill that need to be lovable. This “series” may be consistent throughout the content of Brave Dating Coach because it is core to […]
Question #1 Is the guitar-driven worship model we’ve been seeing in churches for 20 years still relevant and effective? In a time when nearly all of our popular music is electronically created are we still connecting with the younger generation? Have you ever wondered why the worship sound in contemporary churches across America hasn’t really […]
So as I type, I am hearing the scrape, scrape, scrape of four men scraping down the insides of our swimming pool. We’re lucky to rent a house that has a nice sized swimming pool. We were unlucky enough to rent a house that had a swimming pool that had some issues with a new […]
I saw this “shareable image” on Facebook. During these days while we focus on the aftermath of what happened in Paris and we realize once again how scary and broken our world is, do what Mr. Rogers advised: [Tweet “May the helpers tell the story so our world does not seem such a scary place.”] […]
