Over the past several months, our family has been walking through some exciting transitions. While we are still very much rooted in church life and ministry, God has opened a new door for me professionally. I recently stepped into the role of Academic Director of Trailblazer Academy at Ohio Christian University. Trailblazer Academy is OCU’sContinue reading “Life Update – A New Chapter at OCU”

The Eighth Man In: A Servant’s Heart in the Father’s Role
In 2 Peter 2:5, the apostle writes: “And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.” Noah is described as “the eighth person.” This stuck out to me as I came across this verse. That simple phrase holdsContinue reading “The Eighth Man In: A Servant’s Heart in the Father’s Role”
The Faith of Jesus Christ
The apostle Paul is known for his ability with the ancient Greek language used in the New Testament. He would create words and phrases that were full of meaning and hijack other words, such as the Greek word for Gospel, and use the for Christ’s glory. It is because of the heavy meaning found inContinue reading “The Faith of Jesus Christ”
Fragmented LIfe or Unified Life
Matthew 6:33 – But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. We live in a broken and fragmented world. Part of this is the suggestion that we have too many choices. However, the reality is that we only have two choices. The KingdomContinue reading “Fragmented LIfe or Unified Life”
Organizing the Biblical Narrative for Easy Memorization
The following is an exercise that I have utilized several times to gauge my students present an understanding of the Biblical narrative. According to Barna’s report on spiritual growth in 2017, millennials reported Bible reading as the most important spiritual discipline, but less than 30% noted any reading in a previous month. I would putContinue reading “Organizing the Biblical Narrative for Easy Memorization”
Seven Sayings: I Thirst
Soon Jesus would be dead. The four last statements of Jesus seemed to happen in quick succession. The fifth word of seven is, “I thirst.” John 19:28-29 28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar:Continue reading “Seven Sayings: I Thirst”
Seven Sayings: Behold thy…
John 19:25-27 In the previous two statements made by Jesus on the cross, we were given a glimpse into the salvific power of Christ. The intercessory work was demonstrated through Jesus’ prayer to the Father over the ignorance of the crowds. The immediate nature of salvation was seen in the words spoken to the penitentContinue reading “Seven Sayings: Behold thy…”
Seven Sayings: Today
The second sermon in our series, “Seven Sayings from the Cross” comes from Luke 23:35-43. Everything Jesus did and said had a purpose. There were no wasted movements or waster breath with Him. Including the words, He spoke from the cross. While I don’t think they were intended to be wordy theological dialogues like theContinue reading “Seven Sayings: Today”

Some thoughts about lay ministry.
Last year, a friend and I were talking about the ministry of the laity in the church. What is laity? Basically, these individuals are those who serve in the church and are non-ordained (commissioned to preach/pastor). However, in my association of churches, we ordain deacons and their role is different from the pastor. So, laityContinue reading “Some thoughts about lay ministry.”
