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 of the Naked Weekly, I talk about how leadership is overrated. What do I mean by that? Well, it’s been said that “everything rises and falls on leadership.” While I understand the sentiment and do believe that great leadership is needed in this life, when it comes to the Church an…

In 1 Timothy, Paul tells us to “Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority.” We don’t have a king, but we do have a president and many people who are in authority, and this is how we are to pray. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to HELP them;…
I can trust God! Such a simple statement to say, but how often do I need to actually believe it myself. I have no problem believing in God. The proof that God exists is undeniable to me. How anyone could look at creation, the birth of a child, or the human eye alone is a marvel in and of its…
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…
It only matters what God thinks. Everyone struggles with this. Doing things, saying things, making decisions based on what other people will think. We buy things we don’t need in order to impress people we don’t know or like. We do things we would never normally do in order to be accepted by people…

I will silence the enemy and all who oppose God and His children by speaking the Truth of God’s strength over my life. This is a Declaration of Truth I say over my life every day. I start my Declarations with this one. It sets the tone for the rest of them. Truth statements have become one o…
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 is my centerline! That is a Declaration of Truth I officially added to my list just this last week after my sermon at Element Church . 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…
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…
This is a Declaration of Truth I say over my life: I have time, I will be still! I have a really hard time being still. Because I’m wired for progress, action, accomplishment, and success, it is hard for me to just…be. Ambition can be a good thing, but it can also get in the way of some God…
