I am a human being, spouse, parent, friend, pastor, and someone trying to strive toward a better-than-average mark in all those ways of existing because I believe Jesus tells me a story that I, alongside every other person, is loved beyond measure.

So yesterday, I was standing next to someone who said, “Tomorrow is Friday the 13th!” There was definitely some spookiness in her voice. The third person standing there said, “No, it’s not! It’s Thursday the 13th.” The person who had...

A few years ago, I encountered a young person who asked me if Jesus had bad breath. Before I could respond, one of the adults in the room intervened with a bit of indignation, asserting, “The Son of God does not have bad breath.” What...

A political advisor by the name of Del Bigtree said in the last couple of days, “God is an anti-vaxxer, and he needs you to speak up.” Now, without allowing my emotion to burst forth in a mix of laughter and rage, let me address the...

As I have been meeting with the Board and Staff of the Christian Church Foundation, I must confess feeling a bit awestruck by these folks—smart, talented, insightful, and often raising good questions about things that slid right past me. At...

I am currently in Tulsa, OK, for the Christian Church Foundation Board Meeting. Yesterday afternoon, I went back to my hotel room during a break, and I flipped on the TV. It was the last 10 minutes of the 2012 movie, “The Best Exotic Marigold...

So yesterday, I was driving through Oklahoma City, on my way to a Board Meeting of the Christian Church Foundation. On the outskirts of OKC, I noticed a billboard that said, “Jolly Goat Garage Doors.” I did a double take as I initially thought...

Have you ever thought about the gap between what is easily forgiven and what you find nearly impossible to forgive? To be honest, I had not really pondered it before, yet a few weeks back, I was listening to a podcast and something the person...

As a minister, I often encounter awe-inspiring moments within the church that are either challenging to share or, due to confidentiality, I simply cannot disclose. Yet despite the difficulties, I want to express my profound astonishment and...

Because of the way we do worship, with me running between services, I have not actually participated in the naming of the Saints in worship for five or six years. Though each year, I take the time to watch both services, specifically listening...

There is a florist on Louetta Road that has a sign outside that reads:

God Bless America
Help Wanted

I’m pretty sure we are to read those as two separate statements, but since I’ve understood the phrase, “God Bless America” as a sort of...

According to the Prophet Isaiah, “It will be said: ‘Survey, survey; build a road! Remove barriers from my people's road’” (57:14). I have never personally built a road, yet my guess is that without the proper knowledge or tools, such a task...

I might be naive or overconfident or totally off my rocker, but I believe Cypress Creek Christian Church has been forming itself for a moment like this. Let me be clear—when I speak of “forming itself,” I am wanting us to acknowledge and...
