Against The FLO

How the world operates around me is impacting how I perceive my salvation. In what way? Come and listen.

Who would of thought God can teach me about Him when I think about taking pictures on my smart phone!

What does it look like to be credited with something that someone else did the work for? Jesus did something crazy so that we could be credited for what He did. Sheesh.

What if some things do not belong in our lives, even if we do not think it is a big deal?

I give three takeaways from my marriage in hopes that it would be beneficial to you!

As I wrap up this series, I reflect on the first couple years of our marriage. How did I go from someone addicted to porn, to someone in a thriving marriage?

God is opening doors that I literally could not.

The entire 40 days was a life changing experience. In this episode you will hear about a couple specific days that stood out among the rest.

Hear about a time I was challenged to do something that was out of the ordinary, yet it was honoring to my future wife and The Lord.

What is wrong with striving to be the best? This episode I share when a friend gave me wisdom at a significant time.

I was seeking to date someone with the intention of marriage. Even though things didn't go as planned, God was still moving and very near.

Did last year mess up or put a delay in your plans? Is God really in control?

My year-long internship was over, and I was back in a space where my addiction first started. Would this lead to old habits returning?

College was now over for me, but gaining wisdom was only beginning. God brought key people in at key moments.

Some music had to go and some was welcomed in. Why did my music library have to change?

A couple months of new habits sure, but could the new way of life last a whole year? Or was falling back into addiction only a matter of time?

My thoughts on current events and my faith.

Always looking for the one, or just hooking up, sounds good in the moment, but what about a mindset that is long lasting?

What may sound weird to others, was actually God being my Redeemer. He was laying down a foundation that we would build off of.

Is it possible that my access to instant information, can actually make it harder to have faith in God?

When my own logic and efforts were coming up short, Grace stepped in.

What started as curiosity turned into a habit of harming myself and harming others. Jesus came to break that habit.

One of the themes of the Bible is redemption. I take a look back at how God redeemed me from addiction, and brought forth a new way to think about relationships.

I was reflecting on a crazy good talk given by Dr. Bryan Loritts. He helped me point the finger inward as we wrap up this series on Jesus reply to the Expert of the Law. Check out his amazing talk in Bridgetown Church list of teachings under Race & Justice.

When something happens to me I blame the situation. When the same thing happens to others, I blame them and not the situation. How come I don't treat them like I would myself?

Compassion is powerful, and it is something that each of us can show to others. But how frequent do we exercise compassion instead of judgement?

Jesus could of just told the expert to remember this powerful story about the Samaritan. Jesus instead told him something else, and that is so important for today.

Often times I can prequalify people before acting in love. I want to focus on a story where Jesus points out my errors and invites me into something more.

I am getting ready to explore some verses in Luke 10. Before I do that, I wanted to set the stage with things I am processing around racial discrimination.

Jesus encouraged His followers to abide in Him. What does this message of abiding mean in today's culture?

What if Jesus would have listened to those who mocked Him?

Follow up thoughts to God, stay in in your box. How a story in the Bible reminds me of how I sometimes act in 2020.

Church, would we tell God to stay in His box?! Then why do we act the way we do on social media? Here are a couple thoughts on how we can continue to experience God's Kingdom in EVERYTHING we do.
