So God’s given you a dream. Here’s a question for you: Are you supposed to make this dream come true or is God? There are some people who think God makes it all happen. They think that if you make it happen on your own you aren’t trusting in God. Then there are others who…

Hey guys! I have a book coming out September 1st. It’s already on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and CBD for pre-order. Because it’s a bit different than other books, I thought I’d let you know exactly what it’s about and why you should read it. I started on this book a couple of years ago…

I had just finished telling my friend an idea I had. I was so excited to tell him because I knew the idea was absolutely brilliant. But after taking about two sentences to describe the idea, it felt silly to me. Suddenly my brilliant idea felt too simple to be worth anything. I almost sensed…

I’ve always had a hard time believing the concept that you have to be humble before you can achieve anything successful. It’s what Saint Augustine said: “Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.” To me, the two seem unlinked.…
