So I haven’t made any updates lately so just thought I’d write you guys and let ya’ll know what I’ve been up too… I am currently in Boston hanging with family, mainly just relaxing and doing nothing. I haven’t done “nothing” in years! This has been much needed and so good!

For the past few years I’ve been completely engulfed in ministry… Ministry has been my life. I’ve literally shed blood, sweat, and tears pouring so much of myself into ministry (work with middle schoolers for more then a year it’ll happen to you too).

If it is unblibcal, would we as youth pastors be the ones responsible for the 85% of teenagers having walked away from the church? More teens becoming “fake Christian’s”? 20 somethings now suffering from extended adolescence? For 2/3 of... Read more

So every Monday I’m gonna post a band, most being Christian and/or praise and worship bands considering it’s seemingly impossible at times to find good christian music… but to start here’s a band my buddy Andrew Steven introduced me too… this song below I’ve put on repeat for the last week or so… so good: Read more

In the last few years the biggest topic on my mind for my personal life has been the question of “what does a follower of Christ’s look like in this day?” We’ve all heard the statistics, a majority of America (85%) claims Christianity… With hypocrisy being one of the top words associated with Christianity one can’t help but question whether or 85% of America is actually following Jesus… Right now the more important question at hand is asking oneself, “Am... Read more

So when I was at PCC we brought in Sean McDowell who speaks, writes, and teaches on philosophy, theology, and apologetic’s… My focus while at PCC was outreach in the youth department, so I thought it’d be cool to do an event discussing the existence of God… and give the students the opportunity to not only invite their friends but to text in questions to Sean in regards to faith and of course… the existence of God… The students asked... Read more
