What Makes a Biblical Leader
March 20th, 2025

The Bible shows us that true leadership is defined by character and the way you serve others, not by how much authority you have. A biblical leader is someone who models their life after Jesus, who serves selflessly, and who seeks to glorify God in...

While we certainly gain more freedom as we get older, that freedom brings with it a greater need to be responsible. However, responsibility can be tricky and can be approa...

Over the years I have officiated a number of weddings and conducted dozens of counseling sessions for those getting married. We talk about all kinds of topics, but one of my favorite to talk about is holidays. Even after years of marriage, the holidays can be the least peaceful time of the year. Even thoug...
