Lots of controversy these past couple of weeks over the Stronger Men's Conference. Let's talk about it.

Exploring the age old question... "If God exists" or "If God is all powerful and good"... then "Why is there so much pain, evil, and chaos in the world?" This was prompted by a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience where Joe interviewed a woman who grew up in an apocalyptic cult. They talked about God and the Bible quite a bit, but at one point Joe shared his opinion o...

What is going on??? The last few weeks have been WILD. It seems there is so much happening in our world today.

Jesus demonstrated the most extreme level of servant leadership... He didn't come to be served but to serve and later His life down for the sake of the world. He demonstrated servant leadership and then called on His disciples to do the same. This kind of selflessness and humility is so needed in our world today. In fact, creation is desperately longing for the people of God to recognize their...

In this episode, Duke and Denisse Lamastra tackle issues like walking in forgiveness, responding to the Lord in obedience, and enduring correction. It isn't always easy or pleasant but every single time God requires something from us or calls us to a new level of faith, obedience, etc, it is because He wants us to grow and move into a greater level of freedom. There is something extremely free...

If you watched the SuperBowl this weekend you probably saw the commercial "He Gets Us". The ad sparked a ton of controversy.
