July 12, 2024
What are you waiting for? I’ve been thinking about this simple question for over a week now. You see, last year I was being called to step away from a long career and focus on health, faith, family and friends. While I wasn’t really sure what it was going to look like, I soon realized God had big...
surrenderJune 28, 2024
What are you trying to hang on to that Jesus wants you to let go of, and turn it over to him for safekeeping? I’ve had to give up some things in my life that I thought I never could, but ultimately brought me closer to Christ. “This earth is not my home, I’m just passing through.” How many times...
missionJune 27, 2024
“And Jesus answered them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."”Luke 5:31-32 You see, God sent His only son Jesus to Earth for primary purpose: to give us new life. In Luke, Jesus rewords His miss...
evangelismJune 12, 2024
So far this week we’ve talked about what God did for us by sending his one and only son to die for our sins. We’ve talked about loving God passionately and loving others selflessly. But how do we really share the Gospel? By staying on a mission! Now you and I know about God’s grace and the salvat...
purposeMay 30, 2024
As many of you know, I’ve raced motocross for quite some time. But since cancer, I’ve spent most my time flying and riding less. While there certainly isn’t any financial gain to the either of my passions, rather extreme risk, I am certain that God has blessed me with these opportunities for His...
identity-in-christMay 17, 2024
Ask yourself this, what is your identity? People mostly answer that question with a title. Most likely you’d hear a mom, dad, golfer, racer, vegan, pilot, husband or wife...whatever. But that’s not necessarily your identity. It’s regarding the world but what about your identity in Christ? Well, y...
seasonsMay 10, 2024
So, I promised you this devotional would NOT be about me and my cancer fight. However, it has given me great cause to reflect on the seasons we go through and why we are where we are. But I strongly believe we are where we are for a reason and God wants us to ask Him to get involved! He wants us...
repentanceApril 30, 2024
So, I got to thinking about how life seems to ebb and flow with good times and bad. More specifically, as I getting ready for my treatment today, I got to thinking about how we can get stuck in the bad. I’m talking about that “stop the world I just want to get off this ride” feeling. We’ve all ha...

Just sit tight for a minute, this probably isn’t going where you think it’s going. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”Jeremiah 29:11 ESVHow many times you heard this when your going through “your season”? P...
forgivenessApril 18, 2024
So hear’s a thought? So I’ve been talking all week about forgiving and how we can and should. But do you want others to forgive you? Even more importantly, do you want God to forgive you?You see, in order to be forgiven, you also have to be able to forgive. That applies to others just as well as...
faithApril 3, 2024
I decided to go down memory lane and read through some old devotionals I have written after a nice conversation about these I had at lunch yesterday. Hard to believe it’s be since Summer of 2018…“Sometimes we just have to trust God enough to go even when we don’t have all the answers.” -Tim Tebow...
gods-willMarch 12, 2024
When we talk about our struggles and how we are just trying to get through “it” aren’t we really just talking about how we are to deal with God’s NO? I mean think about most of the disappointments you’ve experienced. Probably the one thing they all had in common is they didn’t fit into your plan...
sufferingMarch 5, 2024
You ever notice that when we finally get out of whatever it is we are suffering from it never seems to be the way we thought we would get out of it? Like during our suffering we could never understand or see the way out that God has for us. It’s because it’s His plan for us not our plan for us. H...
living-for-christFebruary 22, 2024
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”Philippians 1:21 Are you living “in Christ”? What I mean is that are you living for the pleasure and joys of the flesh that this world offers or are you living as a servant of Christ. What do we really have to loose as Christians? Nothing in this...

“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”Jeremiah 29:7 God didn’t put you where you are by mistake. He doesn’t make mistakes. When we believe in our hearts God is good and that His though...
sufferingJanuary 26, 2024
Recently a friend was telling me about their friend who was going trough some tough times. Specifically, her brother passed away due to a heart attack at a fairly young age. While I certainly feel empathy I couldn’t help but reflect on the fact the If you live long enough in this world, you will...
eternal-lifeJanuary 5, 2024
Sport, like life, has winners and losers. It’s always has and it always will. Despite the wishes of a seemingly blind new culture that wants to teach us “fairness” and insulate of from pain and failure, you will lose and things won’t always go your way. But that’s ok. You see, when we walk with C...

hardshipDecember 20, 2023
Let keep digging into 2 Corinthians;“For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us...

sufferingNovember 2, 2023
I see a lot of post and stories in the media (that which I allow myself to see) and people seem, generally speaking, so mad and angry. We protest everything for Pete’s sake. Many times I see them questioning God or if there even is one! Why do we sometimes get frustrated or angry with God? Let’s...
purposeOctober 30, 2023
I’ve had a lot time lately (and the last two years) to think about my life, where I am, who I am and what my time is worth. I’ve made the decision to stop wasting time with things that keep me from being who and what God’s calling me to be, it’s just exhausting...and you shouldn’t either. Don’t l...
purposeOctober 24, 2023
Let’s shift gears a little and talk about where we are going? This time next year, where do you want to be? Who do you want to be? What type of follower of Christ, spouse or parent do you want to be? Whatever the answers are to those questions, know this: God’s calling you to live in the NOW & st...
undeserved-graceOctober 13, 2023
I don’t know about you, but I get the “I don’t deserve this...” feeling a lot when I think about what God has done for me and my life. His salvation alone can be bewildering at times. It’s the opinion we have about ourselves and our past or present. You see, we have one set of convictions about o...
