Because I am an advocate that stands up for those who have been victims of childhood abuse and… Because I am a healed survivor of my own past of childhood abuse… I once again feel the need to speak up on behalf of that group of people that even the church tries to shush up…because the disclosure is so uncomfortable for them…so it is easier to sweep it under the rug and pretend we don’t know these things are happening... Read more

There is a phrase that we hear a lot in our day: “You were made for greatness.” You see, I don’t think that’s a true statement, or at least not in the sense that it’s usually meant. Each of was made, according to God’s word, with specific good works in mind that God has created us in advance to do. That’s Ephesians 2:10. The Bible even says that we are His masterpiece – His workmanship – to do his good... Read more

To purchase the entire Summit Lecture Series, Vol. 1 on DVD, go to: summit.org. There are ultimately four sources of Mormon authority. They believe that the Bible, when “properly translated,” is authoritative. Joseph Smith made his own ad hoc and unreliable translation of the Bible. They also believe that Doctrines and Covenants, the Book of Mormon, and the Pearl of Great Price, which discusses Joseph Smith’s vision of two personages – the father and the son – are authoritative. Out of... Read more

I think it’s weird how people name their dogs. I mean, it’s clear that dogs aren’t even aware that they have names. “Your name is Spot.” “OK… whatever. Whatever you’re trying to communicate with me is fine. I’ll just keep wagging my tail like this because you seem to enjoy it. Ya got any food?! How do you stand on your back legs for so long like that? That’s really impressive. Ya got any food?!” “You are Spot.” “Finger.... Read more

(The following was originally published at CareyGreen.com) No matter your role in business (owner, entrepreneur, solopreneur, sales, marketing, human resources, management) you will face your share of trials and difficulties.

It’s going to happen. You need to be ready. How should you think about those kinds of... Read more

The Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Philippian church while under house arrest in Rome. He had been detained for preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Philippians had heart about Paul’s imprisonment and also witnessed rival teachers making things harder on Paul. It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry… [they] preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.  (Philippians 1:15,... Read more

About 25 years ago, through years of denial, spiritual abuse, and unresolved childhood abuse issues, my life broke apart in huge chunks and floated away on a sea of despair.  I lost my first marriage, my home, myself, my church, and my children moved out…and did I mention I lost myself? …all within a few months of each other. Then I entered the wasteland of devastation and loss and an overload of “feelings”. How can I describe the feelings?... Read more
