I really wish I had written this book. Lucado talks about some of my favorite created things: the ocean and the mountains. On a personal note: that’s why I always thought NC or VA are the perfect states because you have both within a few hours of each other. The wonder of East Coast living…but [...]

Do you ever find yourself in need of an encouraging word and something just to tell you that your life will be ok because of Jesus? Whenever I am in need of these things I look to two people outside of my Buddy and Little Buddy: Phyllis, my mentor, and Elyse Fitzpatrick. They both bring [...]

One of my favorite types of books is sermons-made-into-books. I can’t be in every church on Sundays or every chapel service (in this case) in every good education location in the country. I don’t have to take notes to hectically when they make the sermons into books – just take a pen and do some [...]

This weekend I had my second opportunity to hear Dr. Carson preach in person. What a privilege. Especially after coming off of finishing this book on the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus.

He gave you enough to feel like you weren’t a [...]

This past Friday night I had the opportunity to attend two lectures centered on Christ and the arts. It was really neat to see how the two went back to back, different venues, and were so perfectly tied together. Makoto Fujimura spoke at Duke Divinity School on his work of The Four Gospels for Crossway. [...]
