In Episode 033 of the Naked Party Time Podcast, Sabrina and I talked about planning for the new year. One of the steps in living out that plan is to re-order your life around your new goals.

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…

Recently, Sarah Hawk (pictured here), one of our E:KIDZ assistants at Element Church , gave a devotion at our weekly staff meeting. I thought it was so good that I asked if I could share it on my blog. Sarah not only is on our staff, but is a wife and a mother and most importantly, she loves Jesus!…
Living in the light is a choice we have to make, not an advantage to our faith. I sometimes think in our faith, we can become complacent, thinking that just because we believe in Jesus, it will be easy to walk in the light. But walking in the light doesn’t just happen; it’s a choice. 1 Joh…
Here is the third prayer we are praying at Element Church from our sermon series called, “What I’m praying for.” Lord, you have charged us to keep your commands carefully. Oh, that our actions would consistently reflect your decrees. May we seek only Your standard of Scripture in our lives. May Yo…
It only matters what God thinks. Everyone struggles with this. Doing things, saying things, making decisions based on what other people will think.

If no one sees this purchase, would I still buy it? I recently heard Rachel Cruze say that on the Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast, and I said, “Wow!” out loud. It’s one of the best questions I’ve ever heard in relation to a purchase. Especially in our American & comparison mindset. What a GR…
I will be available, making the most of every opportunity. This is a Declaration of Truth I say over my life. I love this picture here. I think it’s how I often feel, and maybe you do too. We are present but we aren’t really PRESENT. We are pretending to be in the moment. I struggle with…
Jesus wants me more than He wants anything from me! This wasn’t a declaration of Truth I thought I needed until God gave it to me for my Christmas Eve sermon @elementchurch.life last year. Truth statements have become one of the key spiritual disciplines which help me replace the lies of the…
Who is God? I’m not talking about who you think He is, but who He really is. What does Scripture say about Him? There are so many descriptions of God in the Bible we could look at, but I read one recently that I don’t think has ever stood out to me before. Isaiah 33:22 says, “For the Lord…
