I wanted to give you all an update on what’s happening at Atlanta Mission. Most of you know this already, but since I’ve been working at the homeless shelter, my main responsibilities have been centered around relationships. In fact, when I was hired my boss said, ”The only thing I want you to do until further...

How you can pray for me:
Since I’ve been working at the homeless shelter, we’ve been doing Bible studies Monday-Thursday for about an hour each night. We’ve made our way through the book of James, then 1 John, and now we’re in the book of Colossians. As I was studying the other day, the very beginning of the 1st chapter records...
Out of the Overflow
One publication said this: 1500 pastors leave the ministry each month due to moral failure, spiritual burnout, or contention in the church. – First Cause Just for the heck of it I googled “burnt out ministry”, and I wasn’t surprised to find that there were plenty articles and resources for pastors and leaders who felt...
Who’s really real?
We all want to be real, all the time…but sometimes we can’t, can we? We fear we won’t be as loved or as accepted if people found out who we really were. But this is not from God. It is from our enemy. He wants to STEAL our true identity. The one given by our...
A Challenge:

I must provide a warning though, this series will most likely challenge everything you’ve ever seen/experienced in “american christianity”. It is a call to look at what the Bible says about...
Talker vs Doer
I watched a movie I do not recommend this evening. But the opening monologue was so powerful and actually the most memorable part of the whole movie. So much so that it still has me thinking as I try to sleep. Allow me to share: You got two kinds of people in this world. You’ve...
Good To Be Back!
Well, it has been a very good and refreshing couple weeks. It has been so good to be back in Atlanta and catch up with some great friends. I am so blessed by them, and so grateful to be a part of their lives. I had so many incredible conversations this week with people that...
Changes and Community
It is official: I am moving back to Atlanta. To some, this will come as a surprise. To others, well, I’m sure you’re sick of hearing about it. Ha. The last couple months here in Ocala have been pretty difficult. I’ve been fighting with my feelings of wanting to come back to Atlanta verses my...
The Least of These…
Today I went to the post office. As I pulled up and parked, I noticed a man that seemed to be homeless approaching the future (aka, my van). My window was down and I was still finishing up what I needed to do before I went inside. My first thought was, “I really don’t feel...
