After writing last week’s lesson, “What if the devil is Real?” I ended up having a few things blow up in my face – that was fun. Fortunately, it led to me asking the question: If the devil is real, how would he mess with me? Until the last couple years, I really struggled with thinking I was … [Read more...]
Honor Your Parents (the lost commandment)
This past year I’ve had one verse constantly popping in my head: “Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life...” (Exo 20:12a) If you didn’t know, this is one of the 10 Commandments, which are given twice in the Old Testament because they’re that important. They’re usually … [Read more...]

The 5 Categories of Men (Pt 2: A Common Problem for Couples)
Last week I broke down guys into five basic modes: Playful, Middle Ground, Serious, Upset, and Explosive. In general, people want to feel understood, which means misinterpreting what category a guy is in leads to us moving down to a worse category. For instance, if you’re Serious and you’re … [Read more...]

How I learn is pretty simple – life happens and I reflect on it to find understanding. Here’s what I realized: I give my wife too much credit while she gives me too … [Read more...]
The Lost Art of Gentleness
Last week when I was at Marineland with my family for the fifth time this year (my two daughters are obsessed with the dolphins, belugas, and penguins), I was pushing my two year old in a plastic car and accidentally bumped into the person’s heals in front of me. My knee-jerk reaction was to … [Read more...]
