We all (or most of us) know the story of Jonah...if you don't here's the rough outline.  God calls Jonah to go to Ninevah to preach the Word of God.  Jonah says heck no and goes on a boat to Tarshish.  A storm comes on the boat, where Jonah realizes it's God and so...

The newest series that we are doing at Overdrive (the Middle School program at the Hub) is called "Uploading".  In this series we are talking about the ways that we communicate with God. We must: Set Up. Speak Up. Seek Up. This week we are discussing the importance of...

At the beginning of the year I asked God to challenge me.  I wanted my faith to grow, I wanted to be in a situation where all I could do was depend on Him, because He was the only true contentment that I would find.  Boy did He deliver. So God delivered a trying and...

"In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching you received from us." (1 Thessalonians 3:6) We all at some point fall into a lazy, laid back, idle relationship...

They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles.  All the believers were together and had everything in...

Yesterday I was given the opportunity to speak at our youth service at the Hub.  I wanted to speak about something that wasn't just "another Christian idea".  I wanted it to be powerful and open people's eyes.  So here's a tidbit of what I talked about. Lately, I feel...

"Through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus." (Ephesians 3:6) I often forget that we're in this whole thing together.  I forget that I don't need to face life alone....

I'm listening to the new Donald Miller book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. Yes I said, listening.  I got the entire book on CD, so everytime I'm in the car I have the chance to brush up on some "reading". Before and after puberty, the male libido genital visit...

I have to admit, I have been quite the slacker with blogging. Its not like I don't have ideas to write about, I just find it hard to commit the time to doing it.  So, my brand new New Years Resolution will be to start blogging more.  I think it'll be both therapeutic...

I am notorious for being a picker... just let me explain that. One of my worst habits is picking out all of the "good stuff" from cereal and trail mix. My family hates me for it because I will be the first one to open a new granola cereal, just to pick out the big...

"The grass is always greener on the other side. The truth is, the grass is greener where it's watered. So start watering your own grass." - Doug Fields We exert so much energy every day comparing ourselves to other people....we want what others have and we want to be...

Heart ache; there are two kinds: the kind that sparks passion in you and the kind that puts out your passion.  I've got both. My heart aches to be whole again, to sum it up quite clearly.  I've had this ache inside of me for months, lingering and building to what it...

I have a major problem with the phrase, "I'll be praying for you."  Its not that its not wonderful and hopeful and supportive, but I often see it as a letdown and another empty promise.  Now, there are many Christians who do pray for people when they say they are...

I feel like this semester I have been given the greatest opportunity that I could have ever hoped to have, to work as an intern through my Youth Ministry at my church.  I am so excited to be "a part of the action", especially since it has been on my "wish list" since...
