Kennedy’s Dream Job! When Kennedy was a kid, he had no idea what his life would look like. Kennedy grew up in Kenya in extreme poverty. It’s the kind of poverty most of us have only seen on TV and think, “Wow! That’s horrible. Someone should do something about that.” But Kennedy’s life changed forever when he was sponsored as a child through Compassion International. Roxanne was his sponsor and she probably doesn’t even know… … Continue reading
Artificial intelligence is exploding. There is a site called Chat GPT that allows you to type in a prompt and the computer will automatically, through A.I., answer your prompt. For example, we asked the chat bot to write a love poem from a guy with a tiny bladder. That tiny bladder boy is Gavin, and here is what the artificially intelligent bot came up with for him. I was also curious to see what the… … Continue reading
When art meets agenda in Christian movies, there is usually a clear loser and, unfortunately, it is almost always the art. Christian movies have to share the gospel but that moment usually feels heavy handed or forced. The genius of the movie, Jesus Revolution from the Erwin Brothers, is that the agenda IS the art since it is a historical movie about faith from the late 60’s and 70’s. The gospel doesn’t stick out like… … Continue reading
Chicken wings are a staple at just about every Super Bowl party. I thought it would be fun for Betty, Gavin, and me to each come up with a signature wing sauce that reflects who we are as people. Some of the ingredients used were pickle juice, refried beans, and green apple cotton candy. Pastor Chad, a self described wing connoisseur, was our judge. You can watch to see whose wing was a winner and… … Continue reading
My respect for Tauren goes way beyond his musical ability. We sat down and talked about preaching, praying, and performing but, I really loved his take on restoration when it comes to people inside the faith that make mistakes like comedian, John Crist. I loved his quote about restoration! “We shouldn’t be so quick to hit the cancel button on people because the only cancelling Jesus did was of our sins.” – Tauren Wells … … Continue reading

Micah Tyler’s weight loss journey has been 10 years in the making, but it has paid off. Micah has lost over 100 pounds! We were curious just how he did it and in the process found out he and his brother were almost cast on the TV show The Biggest Loser. I loved not only his determination to lose the weight but he also has such a great sense of humor about it. Gavin has… … Continue reading
Photo Op is where Wally makes us send him the last photo we took on our phones and tell him the story behind it. Which photo do you like the best? My wife bought a brand new Bronco and we were excited to take it on a road trip to Florida. Along the way we noticed a rattle that we could not get rid of, and it drove us crazy for hundred’s of miles. Out… … Continue reading
Since the tragic day when DC Talk sung their last note, fans have dreamed of a reunion. Recently TobyMac got together with his former DC Talk band mates, Michael Tait and Kevin Max, to record a new song called “Space”. It is a fantastic song that captures the essence and magic of old school DC Talk with one notable exception. There is NO strategically placed TobyMac rap after the second chorus! I took it as… … Continue reading
As a parent I cannot even imagine the pain of losing a child. TobyMac lost his son Truett, 3 years ago to an overdose. I purposely stayed out of Toby’s world because I wanted to give him time to grieve, and I only wanted to discuss Truett’s death when Toby was ready. He was ready and he painted an honest picture of life without Truett, and why he talks about it the way he does.… … Continue reading
