I am frustrated with today’s politics, so much so that I feel a bit politically homeless. I don’t fit in their camp and I don’t fit in their circle. Anyone else feel that way? “I’m a Christian who is theologically conservative & socially compassionate, too conservative for progressives & too progres…

This weekend at Element Church we are starting a new sermon series called “Confessions of a Pastor: Coming clean about who I am.” Pastors can sometimes be viewed as “spiritual rock stars” who have it all figured out. Surely they don’t share the same questions, doubts or struggles that everyone else…
Just because someone has been forgiven does not mean the relationship is completely restored. I think there is a great mis-understanding about this in the church and recently I’ve seen it rise to the surface again. Where I’ve seen it is in the removal of a pastor from a prominent church. Last year,…
“Wasn’t worship amazing? It seemed like everyone’s hands were in the air and everyone was singing their guts out.” I’ve said something like that about a worship service before, and if you’re a pastor, so have you.

Remember the old Gatorade commercial starring Michael Jordan? It had the jingle, “Like Mike, I wanna be like Mike.” Well, I think it’s time to change the jingle to “Like Steph, I wanna be like Steph.” Steph Curry has recently made headlines again, not for his video game like play on the court, but h…

This last Sunday at Element Church we started a brand new series called “CON-Tentment: The lie about having more.” So often in our lives we say things like, “If I just had that or if I just had more, then I’d have enough.

Spelling matters! I know some people are getting really excited right now because you are the ones who believe it is your life mission to find spelling and grammatical errors wherever you are.
