The other day I was talking with a very well known radio personality about how weird it is to have a creative-type job that requires feeling “inspired”.
My dad is a barber. He doesn’t have to be in a creative or inspired mood to cut hair. He just does it. Sure, you have days where you [...]
Just a quick Sunday post to let you know that today Elevation Church saw 71 people give their lives to Christ. Praise God! We continue to be blown away and had phenomenal attendance, even on the first day of summer vacation.

And their favorite preacher to [...]
