In an effort to Worship Fully this Christmas season, I’ve decided to turn my blog into a devotional between now and Christmas Day. I’ll be writing most of the entries, but I have a few special guests who will also be contributing along the way. I hope you enjoy! Getting Ready to Receive, Day 1 […]

So, typically, I’m the “must wait until Santa appears at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade until we listen to Christmas music/talk about Christmas/decorate for Christmas” type of person.

I stood there sweating with adrenaline pounding in my veins and my heart smiled. I was made for this. This morning I had the privilege of speaking to about 120 6th-12th graders at a Christian academy in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. They’re having a week-long “Awakening” and I was asked to help kick it off. […]
