If you are making an impact on people’s lives, you will . . . (not might) . . . attract haters. So if you don’t want any haters in your life, don’t speak, don’t write, don’t blog, don’t podcast . . . oh, and don’t breathe. Haters are either fueled by jealousy, low self-esteem (which is trying to assert itself), or an inflated-ego (which has been bruised somehow and elicits bluster). Every once in a while I’ll get a flaming email from... Read more

Over the last two years, Dallas Willard’s publishers sent me copies of most of his books. You can take a look at his full catalog here on Amazon. I believe that had I met Dallas while he was alive, we’d become fast friends. Our spiritual interests and influences are much the same. And our perspectives align in most places. Note that I say “most” because we have our disagreements (who doesn’t). For instance, I don’t believe soul and spirit are... Read more

Serious followers of Jesus are looking for what’s innovative, fresh, and remarkable. They are seeking leaders who are able to cast vision, unite the tribe, and reinforce its sense of purpose. They are looking for connection and high-level training. This is precisely why Frank Viola created THE DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE NETWORK. 85% of Christians today say they feel stuck in their relationship with the Lord. The Network turns this on its head. The Network contains his awe-inspiring conference messages, exclusive... Read more

Welcome to another Thursday UNFILTERED blog post, the only blog that gives you a 2-hour consultation with Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer to solve all your legal troubles. So we’ve made it through the first half of 2020 (applause). On January 2, 2020, I wrote the article A Reset for 2020. None of us anticipated that 2020 would bring a global pandemic, a national lockdown, an economic crisis, riots in the streets, and civil unrest. Not to mention the cancellation of cool... Read more

Gary Burge has written a fascinating book entitled A Week in the Life of a Roman Centurian. I’ll be using this volume as one of the sources for my revised and expanded version of The Untold Story of the New Testament Church in the coming days. Enter a world of warfare and treachery, of duty and honor, of love and loyalty, interwoven with the inner workings of a Roman centurion’s household. And then trace it as the road curves toward... Read more
