WORLD CHAMPION SPEAKER
(Reminder, this is just a journal of my mistakes, experiences, and thoughts along my journey to having a closer relationship with God. I do not claim to be an authority on the subject. If you want to know The Way, read the Bible.) If you missed last week’s article, “Even Now,” check it out at…

Sometimes I get forgetful. I look around and see what other people have, and, honestly, I’m a little jealous. I don’t like to admit it, and I try to live my life for God, but I’m truly still figuring out exactly what that means. When I see a rock star on stage and see the…
Since experiencing my new passion to learn more about God and have a personal relationship with Him, I have realized there are as many definitions of the word Christians as there are Christians. Cathey Armillas recommended a great book that I’m reading, Speaking of Jesus: The Art of Not-Evangelism by Carl Medearis. I like that…
Went to see it this weekend, and loved it. It is such an interesting perspective to see the story through the eyes of a Roman soldier. I’m not a biblical scholar, so I’m not able to say what was Hollywood and what was directly from the Bible. Personally, I really liked the way the story…
Have you ever doubted your faith? Good! If John the Baptist, who was related to Jesus and knew him, had doubts, you and I should not worry if we doubt at times. That, however, is not the point of this post. Did you ever wonder why we suffer? Me, too. Why would God let that…
One of the biggest challenges I see in the presenting world is self-doubt. I lived it. I started with nothing. Most emerging speakers start with nothing, or so they think. Most people miss what they do have. Though you have probably heard the following story before, have you considered how it may apply to speakers?…
Yikes! Be careful as a speaker/presenter. When I recently read James 3, I was a little taken aback. As believers and presenters, we have a great responsibility. James 3: “Taming the Tongue” 1 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.…
OK, one more thing I was doing wrong. Eating. What? Yup, that’s what I said. I was eating wrong. Before we get to what I did wrong, let me mention something that I believe I did right. I remember speaking in Georgia last year, and I got seated at a head table. Not a fan…
I wish I had thought up that beautiful sentiment. When much of the world is focused on “Sh## happens,” fyou and I can change our focus to the favor side. Both do happen, but it is what you look for that you will see more of. We are here to love God and love people.…
