The world needs a generation of leaders who think Biblically, live passionately, walk by faith, and embrace an eternal perspective. I want to inspire, equip, and enable that generation to engage, evangelize, and impact the world and culture with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the demonstrated love of God.

The Sanctity of Life: Does Exodus 21:22-25 Suggest God is For Abortion?
n November of 2015, the Freedom From Religion Foundation published an article on its website by Brian Bolton, entitled “God Is Not So Pro-Life”.
How God Governs a Fallen World
There is a lot of confusion in the Christian subculture about how God governs a fallen world. This confusion has led–and will lead–to many Christians using their role in government, as voters, to do exactly the opposite of what God intends…
Discerning Truth in an Untruthful World
Fact-checking is now all the rage. A new focus on truth, supposedly, is arising in our culture. But the fact-checkers are often biased and the focus on truth is a focus on “truth” defined as a preferred worldview. In these unprecedented times, how can Christians discern the truth, in a world filled with lies, opinions and a disregard for facts?
Fear and Obedience in the Face of a Pandemic
Christians are told that we have not been given a spirit of fear (1 Tim. 1:7), but for many, fear is a daily reality. How are we to obey the commands of Jesus in the face of a global pandemic?
When Mission and Methods Collide
According to the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, 10% of churches in North America are at risk of dying. I believe the reason is as simple as this: for most churches, methods are of more value than the mission.
Christianity and the Ethics of Publicity
The name Norma McCorvey may not be a name you know, but there is little doubt you know her “other” name, the one assigned to her by the courts and immortalized forever by the Supreme Court of the United States: Roe. As in Jane Roe. Of Roe v. Wade.
I am glad you’ve decided to visit my website. I hope you will find the resources provided here to be helpful on your journey of faith. I believe strongly in Biblical discipleship that produces fully-formed followers of Christ who are willing to make a difference in the culture and speak clearly in the public square on the issues of greatest importance. I see a need for worldview, apologetics, and leadership training in the local church, and I recognize that our culture desperately needs healthy churches that thrive because of their commitment to Jesus and His Kingdom agenda. Christians are called to engage the culture with the Gospel and to clearly understand the times in which we live. A secular revolution has swept through our culture and has invaded the church, while at the same time a void of Christian leadership has formed. It is into that void I hope to step and to provide Biblically-centered teaching and principled, God-honoring leadership. My hope is you will be encouraged and equipped by the articles, videos, podcasts, and other resources on this website, and by the events I host, and the books I write. Every day we have an opportunity to store up for ourselves treasures in Heaven and to make the name of Jesus great. I hope you’ll join me as I follow Him and that, together, we will change the world!
