My favorite athlete to watch over the last few weeks has been Rickie Fowler. Is it because he is an incredible golfer? No. Is it because of his incredible fashion? No. It is because his fashion + his golf skills are making a statement. In a big way.               [...]

I believe sometimes we read the gospels like fairy tales.               In the book of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and even Acts, we see men leave their jobs, their families, and all they know to follow hard after Jesus and strive to do exactly what he says. They didn’t [...]

I love the world of Twitter. From following the lifestyles of the rich & famous, to getting encouraging quotes from leading voices of Christian culture, to sarcastic and cynical jokes at the world in which we live.

                One the greatest qualities a Leader can have is the ability to truly believe in others. By believing in others, I don’t mean micromanaging them and having them carry out what you believe is best. Truly believing in others means that you… Trust their giftedness and let them perform.
