We’re all prone to worry, specifically about things changing. I love change, but I’m always a bit scared that it will hurt me. What if the industry changes and my websites no longer bring me money? What if a new company comes in and does what I’m doing better? What if something else replaces the…
I believe strongly in the importance of volunteering at your church. Having worked at one and relying on volunteers, to now volunteering at the church I attend, I’ve seen both sides. It’s important stuff. At the same time, I do think there are some situations where you should probably stop volunteering. Here are five of…
I’m an ambitious guy. I have at least 10 different projects going on right now. And to be honest, I’m not even sure how some of them are making money. But I love seeing money come in and I love accomplishing unique things. Success is awesome. But I always strive for a balance. I don’t…
I’m convinced everyone has capacity for creativity, and I can prove it. You’re already misusing creativity – even though you are using it – for these five things. 1. Debating on social media. I’ve seen the creativity people have when it comes to online debates. Write a story on any topic – say whether or not kittens…

But it was delightful, because we both acknowledged that we didn’t really know the answer to solving this country’s problems. We had good guesses, but in truth, neither of us had the solution. So we…
Many generations are looking down on Millennials. Saying things like, “Just wait until they get hit with the real world; then all their entitlement will fall to shreds.” I realize Millennials do have a somewhat entitled outlook on life. That needs to go. But the whole notion of the “real world” doesn’t really apply to many…
Want your boss to let you work from a coffee shop? Or take long lunches? Or visit with friends during the work day? I’m convinced you can make it happen. One of my favorite things about self-employment is the liberty to do whatever I want and work on my own schedule. But I’ve also experienced…
I’ve seen quite a few articles and blogs lately sporting the “Should Christians _____” post title. My guess is, those types of titles are getting tons of clicks. That’s why there are so many. The problem is, that sort of question is simplistic. And the reason so many people are asking those types of questions…
I’m convinced God doesn’t care as much about church style as we do. His goal for the Church is merely to accomplish His purpose on the earth. That means there are thousands of different styles, visions, sizes, and personalities that can make this happen. At the same time, I think there are a few things you…
