  • Why you need to jump rope.

    I really got into jump roping when I was in my sophomore year of college. Anyone who knows me knows that I am somewhat of a cardio buff. I know some people absolutely hate the idea of a constant, repetitive, tiring motion, but I thrive on it.  My undiagnosed type A personality needs an outlet,…

  • Maintaining your health in college.

    For many, college is a time of change and adjustment, as it flips the idea of school on its head.  High school is often very well planned out. There are blocks and periods, and you go for 7-8 hours every day, Monday through Friday. Like some, when I was in my senior year of high…

  • Don’t trust in the Ark.

    Read 1 Samuel 4:1-22 1 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek. 2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they…

  • Put it down

    I vividly remember one night, months ago, when I watched pornography. You would think with time you would forget certain things, but some things have a way of sticking. I had been looking forward to it all day. I was hyped up on nerves. I was hyped up on emotion. I was lonely. And I…

  • 3 ways the culture prevents men from great careers

    Real men work, and they work hard. If you ever come across a man who says he doesn’t want to work, then recognize that he is not a man.  Rather, he is a child playing pretend in the adult world. A great career is more than just holding down a job. It is working consistently, fueled…

  • The “Not Yet” Moment

    Read 1 Samuel 3:1-21 1And the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision. 2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see; 3 And…

  • The Ministry of Fatherhood

    Read 1 Samuel 2:11-36 11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest. 12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord. 13 And the priest’s custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the…

  • Setting yourself up for financial success in your 20s

    Let me preface by saying that the views expressed are my own. Finances are a very nuanced subject, and what works for me may not work for you. What follows is what I have found to work for me, and I’m simply providing it as an option worth considering. Having financial success in your 20s…

  • Praise in loss.

    Read 1 Samuel 2:1-11 1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. 2 There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. 3 Talk…

  • Give your blessings back to God.

    Read 1 Samuel 1:19-28 19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the Lord, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the Lord remembered her. 20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and…
