Unexpected Provision
Quick show of hands... How many of you, out there, spend time in prayer? I'm not just talking about when you're in the car and you nearly miss sideswiping or rear-ending someone in traffic and you shout a short, "Thank God I missed that car!" I mean... How many of you sit down and purposefully … Continue reading Unexpected Provision
Question of the Week #129
Do you believe in any sort of God? If not, do you think you might still pray if you were in a life-threatening situation? I grew up in a Christian home. I went to a Baptist college. Though I didn't finish with a degree, I attended seminary. I currently work full-time in a Baptist church. … Continue reading Question of the Week #129
His Eye Is On the Sparrow
I'm not really sure why I act surprised when God comes through and provides for my needs when all seems lost. It's happened time and again. Maybe it's in my nature to doubt. I know it's my nature to try and rely on myself first, even though I know I should go to Him first. … Continue reading His Eye Is On the Sparrow

This works out well because, for as far back as I can recall, I've been a people watcher. During … Continue reading The Importance of the Small Group
When You Get Tagged By Your Pastor…
Here's the thing... I received a notification on the Twitter the other day letting my know that my pastor (who can be found here and here, because apparently having two blogs is the cool thing to do... btw, I had two blogs last year... not saying I've started a trend or anything...) had tagged me … Continue reading When You Get Tagged By Your Pastor…
Powerful Testimony
Everyone has a story to tell. I'll admit, I'm not always a fan of people in general, but I love that we all have a story. That's become a big focus for us at Northstar Church in 2016. As we study the book of Acts as a church, we are able to see how the … Continue reading Powerful Testimony

I've been struggling a lot lately. I've become unhappy in a lot areas of life. I stress out about little things that I really have no control over. I've been hoping that a change of scenery would help me with how I'm feeling. But I know it won't. Because I've been down that road before. … Continue reading Clay
