This Awkward Life

Hey ya'll! The first thing that comes to my mind, when I have a trailer, is where am I going to turn this around. Bump In The Road Turn Around

Many things going on this week. Tragic loss and viral moments for people I know. Let's pray.

I recently watched a Christian church and a Wiccan group trying to reach new people, and one thing stood out: both had a message, but they packaged that message very differently. The truth of the gospel never changes, but the way we present it can either invite people in or push them away. Good packaging doesn't replace the message—it helps people see its value before they walk past it. If bus...

Don't ever ever give up!

As kids, we invent monsters in the woods and laugh about them in the daylight. But when the sun goes down, even the stories we know are fake can suddenly feel real. This episode is about imagination, fear, and how the human mind has a way of turning simple stories into something that follows us into the dark.

I had a coach who used to say, “You ain’t hurt, sucka! Get up!” Whenever we asked why he didn’t think someone was injured, he’d say, “Because I don’t hear anybody crying out.” As funny and tough as that sounded back then, there’s truth hidden in it. In life, many people keep playing hurt without ever crying out for help, healing, or direction. This episode explores why speaking up, being honest ab...

I remember having spur-of-the-moment testimony services at church, and sometimes the testimonies went a little long and off the rails. Thankfully, now we have Facebook for all that.

The story of Frank Buckles reminds us that being last isn’t always a loss. Sometimes endurance becomes the testimony. In a world obsessed with being first, his life shows that time can become our greatest ally — shaping wisdom, preserving stories, and proving that lasting through the years still matters.

If we aren't safe we can wrongfully judge and blame people after one bad outting. Or in this case one bad inning.

Your not so big and bad in the light, eh?

“Look busy” sounded like a trick—but it became a discipline. Staying engaged made the day move faster, built real skills, and taught me how to work with patience instead of just waiting on the clock. Sometimes the smallest habits shape the strongest confidence.

Some days feel invisible—the quiet battles, the long nights, the effort no one else sees. But nothing is wasted; God counts the hard days, and every tear, every step, every moment of endurance matters to Him. This episode is a reminder that even when life feels unnoticed, Heaven is paying close attention.

There’s nothing wrong with something simple—just don’t call it something it’s not. A cheap hotel only disappoints when it pretends to be luxury… and people are no different. In this episode, we talk about honesty, identity, and the freedom that comes with being exactly who you are.

On the road all day. Recording in a Motel 6. Chasing the bad. Help me ya'll!

Your mind can replay the past, wrestle with the present, and race ahead into the future—all in seconds. But what if that’s not a flaw? What if it’s a glimpse of how we were designed to think? In this episode, we explore how our wandering minds may reflect the mind of Christ—and how to bring every thought into purpose instead of chaos.

Never let anyone force you into becoming their king. Stay humble.

Whether it’s an old wound we ignored or a new one we didn’t expect, the truth is the same: pain has a way of getting our attention. In this episode, we talk about the hurts we didn’t see coming, and how God meets us right in the middle of them—offering healing we didn’t even know we needed.

What if some disappearances aren’t tragedies—but mysteries we were never meant to solve? What if, in rare moments, God simply calls someone home in a way that defies explanation?

My dad never fished the easy spots. He’d go where it was harder to reach—down rough paths, through thick brush, into places most people didn’t bother with. And almost every time, that’s where the fish were. Fewer people. Less pressure. More reward. Spiritually, it’s not much different.

“My dad had a pond smaller than half an acre… but somehow the bass in that little pond got huge. Turns out… it wasn’t the size of the pond… it was what they were being fed. And I started wondering… what in my life is growing… just because I keep feeding it?”
