We talk through how we chose to honor our kids on their birthdays with this decision, doing some big things on mileston…

In this episode, we finish part 2 of our Sabbath revisited conversation by talking about what you DO on the Sabbath. So much of the Sabbath conversation is around what you don’t do or shouldn’t do, but the Sabbath is a day for doing as well. This is a re-release of Episode 011. If you missed Part 1…
In Episode 023, we talk about the third and final part of our conversation called “Marriage on Mission.” Without an agreed upon mission to pursue, and values that define your marriage, it’s very easy for both spouses to pursue their own unspoken mission and values, which will create more conflict th…
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 this episode, we tackle the practice of creating, maintaining, and pursuing a bucket list (life goals, dreams list, etc.) “You don’t have to retire to live your dreams!” A bucket list is simply a list of places you want to go, things you want to do, or something you want to accomplish, and they d…
In Episode 011, Jeff and Sabrina finish part 2 of their Sabbath conversation by talking about what you DO on the Sabbath.

Comeback Churches by Ed Stetzer and Mike Dodson 4. Lead by Paul David Tripp 5. Don’t Hold Back by Da…
Being determined isn’t enough, you also have to be diligent! A verse jumped out at me in the book of Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes is a fascinating book in the Bible. Here you have Solomon, who was the wisest and richest man in the Scriptures, and probably of all time. Solomon had it all and tried it a…
The seriousness of judgment and the solace of grace is both sobering and soothing at the same time. Yesterday, as I was reading Scripture and spending time with God, I was stopped by one verse in the book of Numbers. Let’s be honest; Numbers can be a place where we often find ourselves skimming to g…
Thank You, Element Church! Thank you doesn’t seem like enough in moments like these, but it’s the only words we have in the English language.

The grace of God is more than just God’s desire and ability to forgive our sins, it is His power to help us when we need it most! So often, we only view God’s grace as His forgiveness. And that’s a HUGE part of God’s grace. My goodness. Without that, we’re all done for, right? But the grace of God i…
Financial freedom is a choice, not a condition. In all reality, financial freedom should not depend on how much money you make, it’s how you use the money you’re making. Sure, there might be situations where extreme poverty is forced upon you, I get that. But for the most part, and for the vas…
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…

On Sunday at @elementchurch.life we are going to be starting a brand new sermon series called “Sabbath: More than a Jewish practice.” What is the Sabbath and why is it important? For so many people, the Sabbath is thought of as an outdated practice or something only Jewish people do. Or as Christian…
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…
