In case you’re wondering if there was a time in my life when I was a pastor that I’ve not shared with you before, I have not. In fact, I have never been in full time ministry. With an episode title of Professing Your Faith, you might think that this episode is about how to tell other people about Jesus. Whether you think that episode topic is a goo…

Back in episode 597 I mentioned that I sold my beloved 1972 MGB GT.

I think we’ve all been in a situation where either we as kids or when we were older with kids of our own ran into someone that we hadn’t seen in a while. Maybe it was a family member at a reunion or perhaps it was an old friend at the grocery store. Either way, that person looks at the kid and is surprised at how much they’ve grown. Even us as pare…

Okay let me be real with you. When I put together an episode, I start with a moment from my life that has impacted me in some way.

I think it’s important to make a distinction in believing the Bible is true, and that the Bible should be taken literally.

It’s also possible to simultaneously believe that the Bible should not be …

When a runner "hits the wall," they experience an intense and abrupt state of exhaustion, where the body essentially runs out of fuel.
