Risky Business: Part 3

Fireman. Princess. Rockstar. Ninja. We all had a dream when we were kids. It was healthy. It was good for us. Some people you know are still pursuing that childhood dream. Others have traded them, like a worn out baseball card, for a different dream. Whatever the case is with you, at some point in [...]

The Two Most Powerful Words (Pt. 1)

Well, I hope my last post had you turning the question over in your head, “what are the two most powerful words?”
The truth is, you are already in possession of the two most powerful words in existence (under the name of Jesus, of course). They are words that shape history, if used right. The funny [...]

The Two Most Powerful Words

Hi I’m… Unpopular (Part Two)

If you were standing there on the day that Jesus hung on the cross, you probably would have thought back one week before when he entered the city. The crowd was in a frenzy of praise for him. Now, that same man who entered the city hailed as Messiah and king was nailed to a [...]

Hi I’m…. Unpopular (Part One)
