  • Justin Khoe on Sabbath

    Justin Khoe on Sabbath

    “You will sabbath by choice or by force. What do I mean? If you don’t choose to enter into the rhythms ordained by God in creation, if you continually violate this law of nature, eventually sickness, disease or burnout will force your body to take the rest God designed it to enjoy.” Justin Khoe on…

  • Tim Keller on Better Discourse

    Tim Keller on Better Discourse

    “Never describe the view of an opponent in a way he or she will not own. Rather describe their view so they say, ‘I couldn’t have put it better myself.’ Only then should proceed to refute the view. If instead you caricature your opponent — you persuade no one.” Tim Keller on Twitter If I…

  • Ruslan on Schooling

    Ruslan on Schooling

    “As Christians, we cannot have a victim mentality. We cannot go out and look for things to be persecuted by. That is not helpful nor is it healthy.” @ruslankd from a reaction video in response to an interview by Allie Stuckey with Kirk Cameron on the topic of homeschooling. Phew – ok that byline was a…

  • Ed Stetzer on Cable News

    Ed Stetzer on Cable News

    “If cable news is keeping you from unity with your brothers and sisters in Christ, turn it off, unplug it, unsubscribe from it, and prioritize your church over cable.” @edstetzer on twitter I think the thing to keep in mind here is the phrase “cable news” and not politics. I don’t shy away from talking to…

  • In Memoriam

    In Memoriam

    I just wanted to take a moment to remember the 13 service members killed at the airport in Kabul. I know the official count of all military personnel killed in Afghanistan is 2420 and if possible, I would draw them all. 

  • Process Video

    Process Video

    How I draw a sketch! I spend a little time talking about my process for making the sketches you see here. I should have said so in the video but I use the 12.9 iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and Procreate almost exclusively!  If you’re into art process; check it out and let me know…

  • Count God Worthy

    Count God Worthy

    “How many of us count God worthy enough to be used by Him?” @syyounger 😳 Phew – that’s quite a statement. I know whenever I get that notification that @rampchurchintl is live that I can click over and receive something that’s going to change the way I’m feeling about something that day. Today was no exception. I had…

  • How To Love

    How To Love

    Pastor Jonathan was speaking about the Song of Solomon this past Sunday! I highly recommend heading over to trbc.org to check it out! 🙌 @thomasroad 

  • Disillusionment

    Disillusionment

    “We’ve ignored systemic poverty – we’re so addicted to individual freedom that we often turn a blind eye to the suffering and those without healthcare or financial security and have written it off as a lack of personal responsibility.” -Pastor @brandonacox This is from a thread Pastor Brandon posted on Twitter title “15 reasons I believe…

  • How To Tip

    How To Tip

    “I don’t understand how Christians can say ‘Jesus gave us a gift we don’t deserve and could never earn’ and then tip a dollar because ’The service wasn’t all that great.’” I have a lot to say about this. I could write a literal book called “Christian, tip generously.” I’ve worked jobs multiple times that…

  • Forgive Them

    Forgive Them

    “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

  • Hostility or Hospitality

    Hostility or Hospitality

    “As a Christian, are you known more for your hostility or for your hospitality?” – Pastor @treyvancamp I really appreciated Pastor Trey’s response to the satan shoes on YouTube. I’ve heard a lot of takes and read a lot of comments and they usually fall into the “why are surprised when lost people do lost things?”…

  • Frankenstein!

    Frankenstein!

    Ok, give me a second here. I know this is a Christian account with sermon notes and bible quotes and all that – what in the world is the creature from Frankenstein doing here? I read “Frankenstein: A Guide to Reading & Reflecting” by Dr. @karenswallowprior and it changed the way I think about literature. This book…

  • Wanting the Sacred

    Wanting the Sacred

    “Many of us want the sacred…and we want to mix it with the SECULAR.” – Pastor Joel Tudman Ok, I was introduced to @social_dallas last week and I thought “I’m going to drop in this weekend (virtual and all that) and see what’s going on.” My friends, there was a lot going on. I saw the 3…

  • Right Place, Right Time, Right Purpose

    Right Place, Right Time, Right Purpose

    “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish,…

  • Satan’s Masterpiece

    Satan’s Masterpiece

    “Satan’s true masterpiece is the pharisee not the prostitute.” @pastorfrankgil Ok – this is an old quote from what I can tell but it was so poignant I drew it up on Friday afternoon (which insights tell me is the worst time to post) and put it here because I could wait another second. I saw…

  • Getting Away With Stuff

    Getting Away With Stuff

    “A lot of times we think we are getting away with some stuff. But it’s diminishing the hedge of protection around us.” @pastoreddiev I was listening to the sermon “The Spirit Left” from Pastor Vargas and this line hit hard. We blame the devil for so much (and he has plenty to be blamed for) but…

  • Social Dallas

    Social Dallas

    This one came in as a drawing request for Robert and Taylor Madu and I said “Oh sure, who are they?” Man…I was so naive. I’m been drinking from the @social_dallas firehose since yesterday. What an amazing church!! @robertmadu and @taylormadu seem so genuine and full of joy and the messages are so strong I’ve added ALL OF THEM to my…

  • Legalism and Judgement

    Legalism and Judgement

    “The most legalistic and judgmental people are the one’s with deep secret sins. Trust me.” @pastoremase This quote from Dr. Mason stands on its own. I find the times when I’m the most prideful or judgmental or legalistic tend to be the times when I have something I need to confess or need to right a…

  • No Reserves, No Retreats, No Regrets

    No Reserves, No Retreats, No Regrets

    “What should terrify us is reaching the end of our lives having succeeded in a bunch of things that do not matter.” @charlesbillingsley speaks to how to handle a God-given vision! It’s not an easy road for sure but so much more rewarding! Here are my notes from @thomasroad from this past Sunday! There is so much more…

  • Aussie Dave!

    Aussie Dave!

    “We stream the services to give you a window into our church but to also create a doorway which you can use to enter into community!” Quote 2! “People carry around a pulpit, a collection plate and a worship team in their pocket every day! All we need to do is get in there.” @aussiedave in…

  • Ruth

    Ruth

    “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so…

  • Sketchnotes by ME!

    Sketchnotes by ME!

    I’m going to have the opportunity this weekend to present my version of sketch noting! Making all this stuff has really made me more engaged with Gods word and the larger community that’s out there; I’m hoping I can convey that in my presentation. I’m still learning so it’s really “here’s what I know thus…

  • People Pleasing

    People Pleasing

    People pleasing is not about love. Often it’s about “ME.” It’s about needing to be reciprocated and it is not genuine. @adamaweberon the @crappychristianco This was a hard rabbit trail to go down. I’m a people pleaser and generally I say that as a humble brag as in “I just want everyone to be happy.” It’s really…

  • Worship Warriors

    Worship Warriors

    “Worship Him and take your valley of battle and turn it into a valley of blessing.” Matt Willmington Great sermon today at @thomasroad by Matt Willmington. As a warrior for Christ I often feel like I need to be reminded that these are the tools for our warfare!  Also, powerful worship from guest @meremusic ! 🙌🏼

  • People don’t want you to fix their problems…

    People don’t want you to fix their problems…

    “People don’t want you to fix their problems, they want you to understand their burden.” – Me! Allow myself to draw…myself… I’ve been in a comic writing intensive course for about a month and one of the interesting things to me is how much you need to understand about a character before you start writing…

  • We Are Too Dang Lazy

    We Are Too Dang Lazy

    Ok, @bethmoorelpm on twitter is so challenging. I know people call twitter a dumpster fire but there are some voices on there that are really bringing out some thought-provoking messages. I’m sure she and @livingproofministries are getting flooded right now (I realize I’m adding to the flood 😬) but God bless her and God bless that whole ministry. This…

  • Who Do You Think You Are?

    Who Do You Think You Are?

    “If you don’t know who you are, you will start trying to be everybody else!” Pastor @ronderickhenry I am working on another sketch that had this almost identical quote! I know comedy comes in 3’s but it appears that also does the wisdom rooted in the Lord! 🙌 I headed (virtually) over to Gardena, CA to…

  • Love God Love People

    Love God Love People

    Here’s my sermon notes for @thomasroad today! God bless you all out there!

  • Everything Nostalgic

    Everything Nostalgic

    “I think most people aren’t actually upset with “cancel culture.” They’re conflicted that they, themselves, now have to reconcile something. And, instead of courageously jumping in to grapple with it, they first lash out at the person or the thing that has revealed it.” EJ Gaines Phew, Ok, give me a second on this one!…
