In 2022, I will be featuring amazing testimonies of what God has done in the lives of people who I am privileged to go through life with. This first episode is the testimony of how God changed the trajectory of Erie First Assembly through our giving to Kingdom missions all around the world. It's an amazing example of how God moves when we trust Him and follow His leading over our lives and our organizations. 

The final episode in our conversations on personality. This one covers a lot so have a notepad ready or listen to it twice. Lots of Scripture and powerful truths get shared as we wrap up this big conversation. Thanks TJ for contributing!!

We take the personality conversation deeper in this second episode. How much of our personality types are "nature" versus "nurture?" 

This is a really great conversation on the role of our personality types in our unique Christian journeys. TJ has a lot of background and time invested in this subject and offers some really great insight. Stay tuned for parts 2 and 3!

I have spent more time preaching at church lately and am sharing these messages here for your encouragement! Daniel Brooker and I are still working to record Part 2 of Aim Small, Miss Small.

Life can get really overwhelming at times. It is important to strive for habits and rhythms that help us to stay on top of the demands. In this episode we discuss different practices we have used or are using to keep things under control. Part 2 coming soon!

Manhood. Fatherhood. Identity. Boldness. Confidence. These big topics and more are discussed in our final episode of the "Parenting as Ministry" series.

This might be my most unique podcast yet! My friend Matt and I sit down in my garage next to his Harley-Davidson to talk about life, motorcycles and Jesus. The quality is not as controlled as usual but it was fun to just kick back and talk about a personal passion of ours and how we fit it into our everyday, ordinary lives. ENJOY!
