This morning I had the privilege of spending time with and praying for our city with 8 other men at City Church Eastside in Inman Park.

Your friend hears this presentation from me, decides that life is vacant without Jesus, and Jesus saves them.… [Read more…]

A few days ago I wrote a post 3PEOPLE. 3IPODS, 1 Tiny Weight Room. It was pretty funny, but the deeper message of course is that we have forgotten how to connect to people. Well, here is an update. I struck up a long conversation with the guy in that little scenario, and he was… [Read more…]

I have a small weight room in the bottom of our loft. It’s not great, but it serves the purpose. It amazed me the other day that there were three of us in there, and no one said a word…for nearly the hour we were there. Now, I am a heavy proponent for not talking… [Read more…]
