This is why I started the podcast. I am unworthy. This is the story of why I started this podcast and how blessed I am that the Lord would choose me for such an undertaking. God can use anyone.

The reality is that while many of us may pray to get closer to God, we can lose sight of the fact that our ability to grow closer to God is right within our grasp. Prayer means nothing without practice. Not in every case, but in this case, prayer without practical steps to get closer to God will make it only wishful thinking. There is a responsibility we carry to seek the Kingdom of Heaven and it...

The end season - Family, it is time to take a step back and allow God to work on me once more. It's very easy to become focused on the gift and lose focus on the Gift Giver. Though my work is purposeful, I have but one mission and that is to honor God through everything I do, even the mundane. For the glory is not for me in the task but for God and God alone. Thank you for coming on this jour...

It's like a carpenter learning to hone his skills, trust and faith also need to be practiced and understood over time. In a moment of revelatory clarity, I realized that my walk with God is much like trusting everyday things like chairs and cars. My prayer, Bible study and faith are my tools, and they...
