God’s been speaking to me a lot about leadership, and the importance of the negative side as well as the positive. There are always things that people in leadership positions never want to do, things they don’t enjoy doing, things that they don’t get seen doing or get credit for doing…

God’s been talking to me about the importance of setting aside time to spend with Him, not only praying in tongues, but reading the Bible with devotion (i.e. a literal devotional), worshipping, and simply confess… Continue

Since I've lived in Tulsa (almost 5 years), and especially in the past couple years, I've had a rough time settling into a job. I was beginning to nestle into theater management (an incredibly long story), but was ejected from there and have felt like a nomad since.

There's no two ways about it...the kid's got a knack for ministry. At the camps, w… Continue

So I've been watching LeSea Broadcasting tonight, and I think the dude on there now is Mike Murdock. Or Murdoch. Or Matt. Something. Anyway, he's talking about the 'Favor 40' - 40 people who need to call in and donate at least $1000 on their bank card or credit card. He's convinced that he's good soil for people to sow into, but after a while I just got so tickled about it that I called the number on the screen.

To be honest, I thought I was gonna get some 30-something burn… Continue
