In my last post, I started answering the question, "Why are you still single?" This is one of the most frequently asked questions I get, so I thought we should discuss it. Oftentimes, I think because I'm single people assume I must be lonely. That I'm just waiting for my Prince Charming to come, or that I'm actually out looking for him. That it must be[...]
A few weeks ago, I posted the 4 most common questions that I get while I am out speaking about NightLight. (You can read that post here.) I invited people to ask any questions they might have about me and NightLight. Well, you guys are awesome and asked a ton of questions. And one of the most commonly asked questions was, "Why are you still single?" I think[...]
"So no one told you life was gonna be this way. Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A. It's like you're always stuck in second gear, when it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year. But I'll be there for you. When the rain starts to pour, I'll be there for you. Like I've been there before, I'll be there for yo[...]
One year ago, NightLight Branson was born. During that year, I have been asked a ton of questions. There are always four questions that I am consistently asked. I thought it might be easier to go ahead and answer these questions here. I will start with the least important and move on to the only one that really matters. 1: How old are you? 26, and yes I am[...]
Just a side note here... This post if my article from the NightLight Branson newsletter for July! Thanks for reading and as always feedback is welcome! There have been moments in my life when I have been accused of taking the Scriptures too seriously or too literally. Often, it leaves people around me feeling like I am too much. Too holy, too serious, t[...]
Just a little note to let you know that this post is actually the article I sent out in NightLight's April newsletter. Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.” But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?” “My food,” said J[...]
In the crazy journey of the last year, one question I get asked pretty frequently is "Why NightLight?" First, let me tell you a bit about NightLight and my job. NightLight is an international organization that addresses the complex issue of sexual exploitation through prevention, intervention, restoration, and education. I am the director of our Branson l[...]
Hello, Friends! It has obviously been awhile since I have posted anything, and there are lots of good reasons for that. Really just one. NightLight. A year ago, NightLight International decided that they wanted to launch a new location in Branson, Mo. Even more crazy than that, they decided that they wanted me to launch the location. NightLight addresses th[...]
I read a lot of blogs. It's probably why I don't post many blogs. I recently read one of Don Miller's older post. You can find it here. He talks about a few things that good leaders do. I think you should read it too. It might help us get over ourselves. I would love to hear your thoughts.[...]
"Yet God does not take away life, but plans ways so that the banished one will not be cast out from Him." 2nd Samuel 14:14 This kind of ruins the idea that the Old testament God is a god of wrath, and not grace. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Thoughts?
