No matter what version you read it out of, Proverbs 19:21 sums up 2011, and really the last 7 years of my life quite well. Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail. We humans keep [...]
A heavy week last week, attended two funerals. One for Ridley who died unexpectedly and the other for a friends mom, Evelyn, who had been struggling for a long time. I learned a couple of lessons: Don’t wait for a eulogy As I sat at Ridley’s funeral and everyone said amazingly kind words (Rid was [...]
If you follow the twitter feed you know that I’m in Atlanta usually once a month working with a great church down there, Victory World Church. You may have also seen some chatter about a move. Well, through a course of events that could only be orchestrated by God (and if you want the whole [...]

Aside from helping the church communicate Christ more effectively and with more impact, one of the greatest benefits of owning my own creative studio/consultancy is freedom. I’ve talked with many people about going out on your own and as I see books like Jon Acuff’s Quitter, conferences like Ben Arment’s Dream Year and the economy [...]
I have followed The Accidental Creative podcast ever since I first found it a few years ago, if you don’t subscribe…go subscribe now. For me it’s like having someone on the other line that gets where I live. That understands the creative process and the challenges that come along with it. Brilliant stuff. So, when [...]
