Flaws. Imperfections. Weaknesses. Insecurities. I think all of us are well aware that there are parts of ourselves that do not measure up to the “ideal” people that culture sets in front of us through media. There is at least one part of our body that we simply do not like. We don’t have a […]

Many of us have had times in our life where everything seems to go wrong at the same time. Every choice you make is the wrong one. You can’t seem to make enough money to pay all the bills. You lose a loved one. All within a month. The world is closing in around you. […]
I became a Christian at 15 years old and surrendered to a call to ministry at 16. Yet, as I grew in faith, my understanding of the word “gospel” was limited to Southern Gospel Music. I had no idea that the word gospel was rooted in the very fabric of Scripture. At the time, I […]

The words “aggressive” and “Christianity” are words that when paired together, bring out hard to swallow moments in Christian history.

We think of protestors who say hurtful things and hold vile […]
