Recently, I was asked for advice about feeling like an outcast in school. I probably didn’t say the right thing, but I did say this: Better days are ahead. I also said that we can get mad at God about it. But you know what? You can’t criticize God for not understanding what it’s like to be an outcast. That’s one thing we can not do. He endured it. In the very end he’s left… … Continue reading
Prayer can be a really tough thing. Just being honest. It’s a challenge for a lot of us, when we don’t ‘feel’ like God is hearing us. It’s like I’m talking on one walkie-talkie and… there is no other walkie-talkie. That’s how I feel a lot of the time. But I still pray. Why? It’s this thing called faith. I believe that even if I don’t have the “feelings”, God still listens to me. He… … Continue reading

This stuff is DYNAMITE to talk about with people. It’s super-timely, too, which you may have noticed. Why does this make for such interesting and fruitful discussion? It’s at the very core of what it means to follow Christ. Remarkably, it’s rarely talked about. Everybody can relate to this, whether they admit it or not. And most will admit it, which is a beautiful thing. So here are some great starter questions for each chapter.… … Continue reading
This is something I talked about on our radio show, and Producer Sherri and some others said I should post it, so here goes. 1. He takes responsibility. He’s not an excuses guy. He doesn’t run away from his own mistakes. He doesn’t see himself as a victim. This, to me, is the essence of masculinity. There’s a word for a man who will not take responsibility: A child. 2. He practices self-denial. This can… … Continue reading
Turns out, you can’t change a baby’s diaper from ten feet away. I tried. I was a new dad, had never changed a diaper in my life, and had a serious gag reflex. I loved our little boy, but… that’s disgusting. I didn’t want to see the dirty diaper or smell it or touch it. Gross. It would have been easy to steer clear of the whole process, save for one thing: I loved my… … Continue reading
