A little over a year ago, I texted a girl not knowing if she would respond and/or want to talk to me. The perfect storm kinda happened, and I shot my shot on the girl with whom I now hold hands and eat dinner and take pictures and go to concerts. I didn't know if … Continue reading Worth it →

I like to fish. I picked it up a couple years ago pretty seriously. It's something I really enjoy doing. It's very challenging and complex. I love things I can't figure out easily. Being outside, on the water, doing nothing but enjoying my solace is great. I really very thoroughly enjoy it. But, dang, I'll … Continue reading Just keep fishin’ →

I got called to ministry when I was 15. I've told this story countless times. There is a guarantee that the true weight of that experience will never lose its power in my life. When God calls you that directly, you don't forget things like that. I think, however, there is a huge misconception about … Continue reading Affirmative →

I really do like quotes. I've done a blog on quotes before. I really enjoy pithy, profound things to say. They resonate. Some of my favorite Bible verses are short ones. I really like certain sentences that just kind of stick! and stay on your mind. My little lady friend has a quote book, where she catalogs … Continue reading Quotable →

So, I'm doing an internship this semester. At the church I go here at school--- Bellview Baptist Church--- I have built a pretty solid relationship with the pastor, Adam. So, this semester, I wanted some extra work and skills. Therefore, here I am--- the Intern. I absolutely love it. It's been a great experience thus … Continue reading When You’re a Future Pastor →

I hate running sprints. I have always had the worst endurance ever. Running sprints have always kicked my tail. I would so much rather run a mile than 10 20-yard sprints. I would. Seriously. I'm just not a fan. But, my whole life, I have this weird 5 minutes after I run them where I … Continue reading Run the Sprints →

I experienced Christ in class today.  I am taking a class called "The History of Christianity." It's a class about... well... the history of Christianity. We are basically tracking the historical progression from the Book of Acts to today. It's going to be really cool. I'm very excited. But something truly awesome happened in there … Continue reading That’s a Win →

I don't like New Year's Resolutions. They are cliche. I think they have the potential to always be kind of fake and ambiguous. "I'm going to get healthier." Well, how? "I'm going to read more books." Which ones? We have the human tendency to set goals that are big, so they seem great, but they … Continue reading Merry 2019 →

Have I ever mentioned that I love Christian rap music? Well, I do. It's one of my all-time favorite things. This past week, Ty Brasel's Destined for Greatness (side B) came out. To explain, the album came out in the spring. However, he only released half of the album. The other half came out the other day. … Continue reading Destined for Greatness →

I went and played disc golf yesterday with my buddy Will Roberts. For one, it was pretty cold. But it was that kind of annoying cold where, in the sun with no wind, it was comfortably warm. In the shade or with wind, it felt as if we were trapped in a meat locker. Nevertheless, … Continue reading Don’t throw it so hard →
