If you were to walk into my home on any given day you would start picking up on some clues about what makes my family tick. Our family values begin to surface pretty quickly. Whether it’s the tennis rackets or gym bags indicating a value of fitness, or the stacks of books on shelves throughout […]
So after three weeks I don’t think I’m going to get a pass any week of this series. It appears that I wrestle with all the idols thus far [sigh]. The Illusion of Money by Pete Wilson No one thinks money is an idol in their lives. Luke 12:13-15 Greed comes in so many different […]
I was really hoping I was gonna catch a break this week on the “Empty Promises” series… you know, take a little breather since last week’s message about the idol of success was such a kick-in-the-pants for me, but N O P E. No. “Addicted to Approval” hit me right between the eyes, and so… […]
I’m in beautiful Chicago this week hanging out with a bunch of amazingly creative people at the Story Conference. While I’m not usually described as a “creative-type”, I love being around the energy of creative people. I love how they process and view life. I love how they dream big ideas that would never occur […]

I really don’t have a lot of additional commentary to give today because I’m still reeling from the kick in the pants Pete’s message gave me. Read at your own risk… at least we got my big idol out of the way early in the series. 🙂 The Seduction of Achievement by Pete Wilson Ecclesiastes […]
Have you ever picked up a book and thought “oh no… I think this one is going to rock my world”? Those books come along every once in awhile for me. I’m sure it’s the right message at the right time that rattles my thinking and pushes me through another season of growth. My most […]
I have this little hiccup in my wiring that likes to convince me that things that rejuvenate me (reading, studying, laughing, fun) are only to be enjoyed when I have accomplished everything that needs to be done. The problem? Yep, you guessed it. Everything that needs to be done never really gets done. Week after […]
