How to Talk With Your Family About Hot Button Issues
If you’re a parent raising children in today’s culture, you MUST learn how to help your kids navigate through difficult cultural issues.

The Reason for Reason: A Call to Discover HOW to Think Instead of Being Told WHAT to Think.
It’s almost like clockwork. Every week is the same–a horrible event happens somewhere in our country. A group of hungry wild-like beasts swoop in on the scene and begin reporting the events. And outrage ensues. It’s so predictable that we can even pick the subject. It’ll almost always be centered around one of two things:ContinueContinue reading “The Reason for Reason: A Call to Discover HOW to Think Instead of Being Told WHAT to Think.”

Evangelism: It’s Not a Scary Word
Evangelism—Just the word tends to strike fear into the hearts of the introverted and shy. There’s a sense of dread when the Pastor stands in the pulpit and challenges the church to evangelism. Half the church sinks in their seat, guilt-ridden and shamed. But have you ever wondered why? Why do we tend to feel guilty about evangelism?ContinueContinue reading “Evangelism: It’s Not a Scary Word”
