You’re Not Going to Believe Where My IT Guy Lives

Re-capping the Weekend at The Gathering

We’re seeing the passion of our [...]
When in Doubt, Cast it Out
Without question, one of the greatest challenges any of us face is not from without, but from within. It’s self-doubt. Not a day goes by that I don’t sit across from someone in deep pain and sorrow, struggling with the loss of a job, the loss of a relationship, some [...]

Why Aren’t We Having Any Fun Yet?
This weekend at the Gathering in Nashville, I’m going to be speaking on the subject, “If You’re Not Having Any Fun, You Must Be Doing Something Wrong.” As I was writing this week and planning for this talk, I read the headlines that Terrell Owens, the Dallas wide receiver [...]
The Day Before The Big Day We Gather
Today is the day before the big day. Tomorrow, Sunday September 17, people for all over metro Nashville will come together in the ballroom of the Maxwell House Hotel to worship God. I have no clue as to how many people will show up for the [...]
