When the article came out that Vice-President Pence would only eat meals alone with his wife, there has been a firestorm of responses to how unrealistic and even archaic this practice is (Billy Graham had even more strict safeguards in place).

Phrase for 2017 -- Renewed Focus

Phrase for 2017 — Renewed Focus

I grew up in Southeast Texas, not too far from the Gulf Coast. I loved going to the beach as a kid. I loved playing in the surf – jumping waves and floating around in the water. I remember one time playing in the water for a while and when I looked up, I had drifted down the coast quite a way from my family.

Personal Encounter with Jesus

Each one of us need a personal encounter with Jesus so that we can see how Jesus wants to forgive us and call us to His ministry. He wants each one of us to know Him personally. Have you had an encounter like Peter had on the Sea of Galilee? Let me invite you to listen as I share about Peter’s encounter and apply it to our lives.

How God Is Using The 5 Levels of Leadership In My Life

Reading The 5 Levels of Leadership, by John Maxwell, has challenged me to grow as a leader. I have had opportunities to be in leadership positions most of my adult life and I think that I have been stuck in some of the lower levels of leadership. I have seen the position that I held as the “pinnacle” and not the starting place. I have never really asked for permission to lead anyone nor have I…

Navigating the Storms of Life as a Couple
