New Year’s Resolutions are really about refocusing your priorities. That’s what Sabrina, and I just took a day to do last week, and it’s part of what we talk about in Episode 033 of the Naked Party Time Podcast. It might be 2022 already, but it’s never too late to take some time, sit down, and revie…
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. If you don’t do this step of re-ordering your life, you don’t have goals; you have wishes. You hope these thi…
In Episode 033 of The Naked Party Time Podcast, Sabrina and I talk about how you can be intentional with a plan to get the most out of the coming year. If you aren’t intentional about where you’re going in life, then you’ll just end up going wherever life takes you. Benjamin Franklin said, “If you f…
We’ve been talking about doing this episode for quite a while now but other topics or life situations kept getting in the way, but we are finally here. We are doing an episode on truth statements, destroying the lies that derail us. We’ve mentioned them a ton on different episodes, but we’ve never r…
In Episode 031, Sabrina and I talk about some principles that help you to wait well when you are waiting in your calling.

In this episode, we start to tackle the subject we’ve been teasing about since we started the podcast…sexual intimacy. We’ve titled this episode, “Let’s talk about sex, baby!” If you know the song, you know! Sex is awesome! It is a good gift from God. But like every good gift, our enemy the devil wa…
Episode 020 of The Naked Partytime Podcast is live! In this episode, Jeff and Sabrina dive into the five levels of intimacy in relationships and marriage. If we don’t cultivate every area of intimacy in marriage, we’ll be in danger of being great roommates, but only average spouses. 20% of US coupl…
In this episode, we pick up where we left off last time talking about living our lives on mission. If your marriage is not focused on the right mission, then your mission will become only about your marriage. If you haven’t yet, make sure and listen to Episode 018 of the podcast. We start talking ab…
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…
In this episode, we start a conversation about living out a marriage that is on mission (And stuff for singles too) If your marriage is not focused on the right mission, then your mission will become only about your marriage. This affects single people too because as singles, you are also on missi…
What is Lent? I can tell you this; it’s more than pocket fuzz. In this kickoff episode of “The Naked Weekly,” I talk about the season of Lent, where it came from, why we do it, and some practical tips if you want to seek God during the Lenten season intentionally. The Naked Weekly will drop…
In Episode 016 I interview Pastor Fred Gallop. Fred is a Chaplain in the USAF who served on the Element Church pastoral team while stationed here in Cheyenne. In this episode, we get real and raw by diving into the conversation on race: Fred answers questions like, “Why do we need Black H…

Here is a Declaration of Truth I say over my life. Truth statements have become one of the key spiritual disciplines which help me replace the lies of the enemy with the Truth of God’s Word. Every one of my declarations is rooted in Scripture: Truth = It only matters what God thinks! Scripture: Gala…
I need God as much today as I do in the midst of or potential of tragedy! It’s so easy to be desperate for God on our bad days or in times of trouble but kind of forget about Him when things are going well. You can’t read the stories in Scripture and see this, especially in the Old Testament. Time a…
Declaration of Truth: I will be myself! I will just be me! Do you ever struggle with comparison? That’s kind of like asking, “Are you human?”, right? If you’re breathing you’ve probably struggled with comparison at some point. Especially in this social media age in which we live. Even as a pastor, I…
Not every problem is persecution! I think we need to remember that, especially as American/Western Christians. I don’t know what it is about this day and age but we are all, Christian or not, so quick to jump to the extreme in how we believe we are being treated. Every problem we face or policy we d…
Truth = I’m worth it! So many times in life I start to believe the lie that “I’m not worth it.” I’m not worth the blessing I receive. I’m not worth the position I have. I’m not worth my wife, my kids, my job, whatever it is. The biggest one is that I’m not worth being saved. Do you ever struggle wit…
What is wisdom? I propose that wisdom is not what we think it is. So often, especially in our faith, we view wisdom as this thing that helps us make the right decisions. That’s partially true. God can and does give us the wisdom to make very difficult decisions in life. James 1:5 says “If you need w…
Labor Day. Most of us view it as the “three day weekend for no reason,” right? Or the last “holiday” of the summer before everyone gets back into the groove of school and business. Most kids know they are out of school and many businesses get an extra day off, but do you know where it came from? Lab…
Truth: I’m standing in the name of God! I added a new Declaration of Truth to my list based on last week’s sermon at @elementchurch.life. Any time I can teach or inspire these declarations of truth in a sermon I always try to do it. Truth statements have become one of the key spiritual disciplines w…

Be holy because you’re made holy! Leviticus 20:7 Keep all my decrees by putting them into practice, for I am the Lord who makes you holy. Notice, we aren’t made holy by what we do. However, because we’ve been made holy there are certain things we should do. There’s a fine line there, right? It’s so…
I am who God says I am! That one Truth has been revolutionary in my life. We often allow ourselves to be defined by what we believe about ourselves, what other people say or have said about us, or the lies our enemy (satan) whispers to us. That’s such a dangerous place to be, but it is also such an…
Now, more than ever is a great time to be putting Scripture to memory. Each month here at Element Church , as a part of our 2020 vision as a staff, I am challenging us to memorize one verse or passage of Scripture together. This month’s verse was our theme verse from the Fragile sermon series. For t…
