Confessions of a Redeemed White Man-What the Black Community Wants to Know from White People about Racism

NOTE: I am coming at this as a typical white American. I cannot speak to KKK, hate groups, etc. because I simply do not understand that stuff.

Prayer Challenge: The Key to Loving People You Don’t Love

Something I have learned about prayer is that prayer usually moves and changes my heart. You see, when we pray for someone or something, God positions our heart where it needs to be.

Connect By a Dream

On a recent cross outreach I got to meet this sweet girl who came up to me. Maybe she was just curious about what we were doing, but she didn't seem that interested in connecting.

Your Role in Missions. It is Probably More Than You Think!

I meet with a lot of people. Often times I meet with normal people with normal paying jobs. Sometimes I meet with CEOs or people who run their own businesses.

The “Radical Way to Respond to Racism

The weeks after the death of the 5 police officers in Dallas I tried to write about race in this country. It is obviously a very emotional and highly sensitive issue for everyone.
