A huge concept in being a leader comes from James chapter 4. James begins chapter 4 by challenging us about our motives in what we ask God for. I know for myself there are so many times when I am wanting something so bad and am willing to do anything to get it. Often times […]
If you love me you would….something many of us have either said or heard. Many times you will hear me say if someone says this to you, then they are not worth your time or if you have ever said that then you don’t really care about the person. Yeah normally when we think about […]
The book of James is an incredible book for us to read through for students who feel called to ministry or leadership. I believe there are some principles we can take and apply to our lives about this book. Let’s look first understand a little bit about James the author. I found this in the […]

It is almost 1:30 on Thurday morning. I can’t sleep tonight. No big surprise there, but tonight I am up later than usual. I am so jacked up excited right now about this coming fall. This evening we were at the pool with the students to kind of end the summer and welcome new 6th […]
Sorry for this being a few hours late. I got hung up working some renovations at the church. We promise we will try our best to get this done by 3:00.
