Who Do I Work For, And What Do I Do?

What do I do with the GCA? What are our goals? What is our strategy? The GCA is a wonderful ministry and God is doing great things through it. Last week I had the honor of joining Hannah Jensen's Public Affairs show on Salem Media Radio. On this show we talk all about what we… Continue reading Who Do I Work For, And What Do I Do?

Is Grass Smarter Than people?

Just this Saturday my wife and I finished a long road trip. As we traveled I recognized something interesting about all the plants. No matter where I went, all the plants raced desperately to produce seeds. And all this made me wonder, is grass smarter than people? I believe God wrote an endless amount of… Continue reading Is Grass Smarter Than people?

Nature is Disturbing

Whenever you search "nature" online you'll find beauty—as you should. Nature is beautiful. But, there’s also something secretly disturbing about nature. It’s broken, corrupted, and decaying. Something is very wrong with this planet in many different ways. And this lines up perfectly with the Bible. When we sinned, Nature fell with us. I focused on… Continue reading Nature is Disturbing

Why God Lets Bad Things Happen

Interestingly enough, two of the biggest reasons why people don't believe in God and the Gospel are because they believe almost everyone is good in nature and because they don't understand how God could let bad things happen. Both of these reasons actually contradict each other, but let's address them separately. I've already blogged about… Continue reading Why God Lets Bad Things Happen

What’s The Point?

"What's the point?" This question is what brought me into the roughest season of depression I've ever experienced. However, this question is also what brought me out of that season. If you can learn anything from those two sentences it's that the answer to this question is important. In this blog I want to help… Continue reading What’s The Point?

The Dangerous Book

A rapid knock interrupted Stace from her reading. The library closed forty minutes ago, who could possibly want in? Whatever. Stace shook her head and turned back to her book The Nation of Robots by Claudia Bostraeu, which was the best selling book of 2050. The knock resounded through the quiet building once again. Now,… Continue reading The Dangerous Book

The First Christian

Despite the rifle the State Soldier pointed at his temple, he stared at her. Jen's heart pounded. She opened her coat just enough to reveal the book. His book. The book he was about to die for. A flash of recognition crossed his face. Bang! Blood painted the brick wall behind him. He stumbled for… Continue reading The First Christian

The “Spit On Me Too” Challenge

What if every shop, business, or restaurant had a picture of Jesus outside the main door so that as people walked inside they could spit on Jesus' face. Would you step forward and tell them to stop? Would you remove the picture, or hang it up so it wasn't sitting on the floor? Are you… Continue reading The “Spit On Me Too” Challenge

My Phrase for 2021: Child Of God

Every year I pick a word to represent my year and that I want to learn and grow through. Last year I picked "dependence". Thanks to the pandemic, it was really easy to look back and acknowledge that I had to depend on God a ton this last year. But this year (2021), I'm cheating… Continue reading My Phrase for 2021: Child Of God
