Fear can be crippling, paralyzing, and debilitating. Yet, it's something we all have to deal with eventually. Recently, my family rented a boat while we were visiting the Florida Keys. We had a GPS and set our course for a famed coral reef out in the middle of the ocean. I know how to drive …

Getting Out Of Our Own Way
As the saying goes, our worst enemy is often ourself. For example, whenever we allow pride, envy, greed, worry, and insecurities to get their way in our hearts, the long term results never end well. I know that's definitely true for me. These things disrupt our relationships, families, careers, churches, and the list goes on …
Silencing The Storms
A fire of restlessness consumed my soul, and far too many years were wasted in vain attempts to quench the burn. Of course, nothing in this world could - no measure of success, promotion, praise, romance, relationship, intoxicant, and/or pursuit.

Reaching Higher
I recently attended my daughter's cross country award banquet and was impressed by something her coach shared. After celebrating their state championship win and recognizing all her runners, she asked the audience to raise their hands as high as they could.

When Fear & Faith Collide
Most of us struggle with fear, worry and anxiety at times. This is just a part of life, but we don't have to allow our fears to keep us in a cage. I recall when I was younger being very shy. And of course, being shy, I rarely spoke. This made me "different" from the …
