The Bend
There’s this spot on I-25 in Colorado Springs where I hear from God.

Reflections On a Year of Grace
On Tuesday I teared up on a zip line. While I’m not the type hesitant to shed a tear, I think that’s a first for me. And before you draw conclusions, no, it wasn’t because I was deathly afraid of the zip line. Tuesday marked one year since I started at Grace Church. I found…

Why Life Begins at the Death of Normal
Death is a subject many people don’t like to discuss. It’s eerie. It’s scary. It’s just painful. Right now, it’s all too real. We’re staring death in the face, and death is staring back. Then, death is going a step further by robbing us of people we love. People who were healthy and flourishing just…

Go Home, John MacArthur…and Let Beth Moore Do Kingdom Work in Peace
While playing a word association “game” on stage at the Truth Matters Conference this week, John MacArthur and a group of his contemporaries were presented with the prompt “Beth Moore” to respond to. While the entire activity was incredibly short-sighted and immature to begin with, the true character of MacArthur and his fellow “men” was…

Still & Steady Targets
“It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.” — Exodus 31:17 Rest and Sabbath can be difficult and confusing concepts in this “hustle” culture. My job hardly allows me time to…

THE DEVIL RAN AWAY FROM ME: A declaration of power, authority and war on ordinary life
Last week, the devil ran away from me. No, I’m serious. He took off. Fled. Forrest Gump-style booked it. I was riding the RTD W-Line into work, just like every other morning. If you live in the Lakewood/Denver area, you know the W-Line community features some interesting cats. I once saw a dude on the…

Me, Job, and the Military Man: How God Is Using My Broken Relationship to Repair My Heart
The Lake men don’t have that gene that makes you scared of interactions with strangers. Everyone is our friend. Even that dude at the airport hogging the wall outlet. “Hey man, can I charge my phone?” I did need to charge my phone, but we also had a while to wait until boarding the plane,…

Death is Still Dead.
I love Easter Sunday. Every Easter, I attend church with my family and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. There’s no shortage of singing or dancing (although there may be more or less of the latter depending on the denomination you may or may not associate with… Alright, bad joke). The point is: there’s hope. And there…

Where are all the real men?
Remember that ad campaign, Real Men of Genius? It was funny, but it actually exposed a truth that I firmly believe is detracting from the growth of society – manhood is superficial. America paints a picture of manhood that includes beards, sports, and beer. While none of these things are inherently bad (trust me, I…

Discernment is Wisdom
Today’s society is living within a perpetual flow of information. There is no shortage of media to satisfy our senses, and everyone knows that high intake of media can become overwhelming – whether it be social media, television, music, books, magazines, or anything else. We often allow so much information into our brains that our…
