  • Season 2; Beginning February 5, 2026

    Season 2; Beginning February 5, 2026

    I took a huge step back from content development so I could settle into a new pastorate at Alex Southern Baptist Chapel. Thinking about my content ministry for the next year, 2026, I checked the numbers. To my surprise, listener and reader engagement has increased, not decreased, as I’ve taken it easy. I’m not sure…

    What is Family Worship?

    When you hear, “Family Worship,” you probably think of a set time you might gather your family together to sing a song, hear a Bible lesson, and basically have a mini church service. That can be intimidating–especially if you don’t have much musical ability or have never “preached.” Well, I have some good news for…

    Follow the Money; John 2:13-22

    Jesus was not opposed to violence. He was opposed to injustice. It is unjust for any church or clergyman to interest themselves in making money because they will end up using people instead of ministering to them. Like the pyramids were built on the backs of slaves, so Saint Peter’s Basilica was built on the…
