“Most people wouldn’t even be the lead character in a movie about their own lives.” If you let that quote sink in for a minute, it can be a little scary. If a famous Hollywood director came up and asked to make a movie about your life, what would it entail? Are there any battles […]
In case you haven’t noticed, our culture uses our phones quite a bit. Call it an addiction. Call it whatever you want, but ultimately, I’d argue that the reason we spend so much time on our phones is because our lives are often very uninteresting. When you’re hiking in the mountains, meeting with clients, digging […]
In many of the churches I’ve attended, there seems to be an utter fear of culture. Specifically, a fear of being in the minority. The fact that culture is often running contrary to our “traditional” beliefs scares some people immensely. But when we read through scripture, it didn’t seem to bother Jesus. In fact, he […]
The best thing about having a good relationship with someone is the ability to disagree in a healthy way.

Whatever you are dealing tie right now. It will pass. If you are loving life and living high, or ready to completely crash and burn. It will pass. That’s not intended to be depressing. It’s intended to be the truth. So if things are going well, be grateful. If they aren’t going so well, be […]
As I learn more about client work, there’s one piece of advice I would give to everyone – OVER communicate. And I don’t mean be constantly bugging them and asking them questions. That’s a pain.
