If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn a cold shoulder and do nothing, what happens to God’s love? It disappears. And you made it disappear. Anyone who doesn’t love is as good as dead. Let’s not just talk about love, let’s practice…

The family that worships together…
You know what they say, the family that worships together grows together. There’s nothing that makes a dad prouder, than getting to see his kid grow right before his very eyes. This morning I woke up with the song, you’re a good, good father still ringing in my ear. Last night we attended our church’s quarterly…
The point of fatherhood
The question to ask is not WHAT am I here for, but WHO am I here for? I look at Riley, Olivia, and London and I just know. I’m here to lead them, so that they can learn to lead others. Every day before they leave the house we recite our motto, I am a…
Dinner table conversations
So, this just happened. Tonight at the dinner table we’re sitting, my wife and three daughters and one of our nieces when my oldest (6 years old) asks my niece, do you want to live in a big house like ours? Almost a little embarrassed I ask her, well that’s an interesting question, what made you ask…
Leaning on the Father
Have you ever had a moment where it felt like you were lifted out of your body and got to see your life from a birds eye view? It changes your perspective doesn’t it? I had that moment two days ago. I was about 8:45 pm on Saturday evening, and we had just gotten home…
What a difference a year makes
This picture is a comparison of the first day of school, and the last week of school. Today is the last day of school, pre-k for Olivia and the last day of Kindergarten for Riley. A year ago, when they both started a new school I wondered how this year would go. Now, a year later…
Game Changing Leadership
You never realize how important some moments are, until you look back and see the impact they had over a lifetime. Game changing leaders see the future and ask themselves, how can I leverage my influence now, to positively impact someone else’s life later? Coincidentally, that’s the central question I’ve been asking myself as a…
Flying Solo
I love those movies that give you a glimpse of what life would be like if something dramatic changed (aka learning it’s a wonderful life after all). This weekend, I got that glimpse with my wife out of town in Nashville. For 3 days, it was me solo with the girls for the first time……
Embrace the mess
Yesterday at church we started a new series entitled, Address the Mess, and it got me thinking about a picture I posted recently on social media of our home on a typical Saturday morning. I got a lot of commentary on this picture when I posted it earlier, it resonated with folks which didn’t surprise me….
When ideas become things
It’s remarkable when as a parent you get to see the fruition of seeds that you’ve planted in your kids begin to come to life in the actions they’re taking. Last weekend one of my best friends visited for a wedding and he noticed the behavior of my girls, and declared to the oldest, “one…
