  • The Non-Anxious Pastor

    The Non-Anxious Pastor

    A quote from Pastor TREY from his book “The Non-Anxious Pastor:” ************************************ I never truly dealt with the root problems of my anxiety because it always seemed to benefit me. Stress turned me into a straight-A student. Fear of failure gave me the ability to consume and create content at a very high level.  My…

    Carey Nieuwhof on Winning

    “Winning at work while you’re losing at home means you’re losing. Period.” @careynieuwhof from “At Your Best” I haven’t read Carey’s new book yet (it’s arriving today!) but I’m all for a positive, Christ-centered approach to handling our lives and our businesses in a way that honors Him and our families at the expense to explosive…

  • Ashley Abercrombie on Language

    Ashley Abercrombie on Language

    “Language is a seed that germinates inside the darkness of our hearts and minds. It will bear fruit at some point: rotten, bitter, nourishing, or sweet.”  Ashley Abercrombie from “Love is the Resistance” I really enjoy Ashley’s page so when she announced that she had a book coming out I preordered it pretty quickly.

  • Patrick Linnell Drops a Grace Bomb

    Patrick Linnell Drops a Grace Bomb

    “For the Christ follower, there are no racial or cultural reasons to withhold grace from anyone, because everyone is one faith step away from becoming a spiritual brother or sister in Christ – a bond that runs deeper than blood.” Patrick Linnell from @grace.bomb I heard Pastor Linnell speak with Blake over on the @crappychristiancopodcast and was…

  • Tending the Fire

    Tending the Fire

    “Call men to a passionate and sacrificial quest with the odds stacked against us, and you can’t keep us away.” @wolfandiron(Mike Yarbrough) from “Tending the Fire” This is not a book about hunting or sports or beer or whatever things spring to mind when you think about “manliness” or “being a man.” There is a much…

  • Jesus is Better

    Jesus is Better

    “The good news of Jesus is that you’re enough. You’re no longer defined by your failures or successes. We can give up and give into who Jesus is. We don’t have to push through; the work for our acceptance and worth is finished.” @zachmaldo I love the last part of that statement. I’m a huge fan…

  • Are You Really OK?

    Are You Really OK?

    “It’s easy to dream of where we want to be, but what sets health people apart from unhealthy people comes down to the steps they make to move toward change.” Debra Fileta from @truelovedates in her new book “Are You Really Ok?” I want to be careful with this topic because I feel like modern Christian culture…

  • Love in Every Season by Debra Fileta

    Love in Every Season by Debra Fileta

    I love being married. It’s seriously the great adventure of my life and it keeps getting better and better.

In saying that “Love in Every Season” by Debra Fileta is a fantastic (and biblical) exploration into…
