Gossip Is a Spiritual Issue > It has always seemed like gossip is a small sin, one that doesn’t really count. THAT IS NOT TRUE. Joy here and I have always struggled with gossip. It’s so easy to fall into the habit of saying things about people that you would never say to their face. As a Christian

Joy here! I fulfilled a lifelong dream this weekend by actually SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS! I have had that at the top of my bucket list for years! It happened in the wild while I was at the beach with some friends! After showing Carlos this photo, he says this doesn’t count as actually “swimming with d

Examine Your Life From a Different Perspective > Joy here, this video really opened my eyes to 4 different questions we should ask ourselves. I still can’t get the final question off my mind. “If my life were a movie, would I cheer?” > My first thought was YES, but that surprised me. I’m in a roug

"The Mercy Tree" by Lacey Sturm of Flyleaf Joy here: I stumbled upon an old Billy Graham Crusade on TV last night. I never watch these, but for some reason I was drawn to it. As I listened to Billy’s sermon and heard about the lives that were changed I was truly moved. This song came on by Lacey St

How often do we act like children running into the street? Have you ever had a child run out in front of your car? It’s a terrifying experience. Joy here and it happened to me this weekend.

Today was the day that I lost all my pride… Joy here and yes that’s me in a sandwich board looking about 3 ft tall. I made a bet with Carlos that whoever won our NCAA tournament bracket competition would get to choose what the loser wore on a sandwich board sign for the day. I said this because I t

What do you think? The other day I was eating out with my family when I looked over and saw a family getting up to leave. As they did the Dad left clearly more than half of his plate there on the table as they all walked off. Next to that table were 4 other guys having a good time enjoying their me

Being an adult is so much harder than I ever expected! Why didn’t anyone warn me about this? Joy here, and for some reason I thought that the older you became the more wisdom you suddenly gained. So far this had not happened for me… I am in the process of trying to understand my taxes, my healthc

Letting words describe us, not define us. Carlos here and the other night at an event I heard something that has stuck with me for days now. "Words can describe us, but they don’t have to define us" How often do we let words like “divorced” keep us from letting God use us because we feel like we

Worth It.  I was listen to some WAY-FM songs last night about the cross. I know what God has done for me. I’m sure you’ve heard the story a bunch of times as well. It’s all about the cross and God’s sacrifice for us. It’s the basis of our salvation. I think the problem is I’m used to the story. I k

Welcome to FIGHT CHURCH. In a new documentary the film makers are taking a look at the culture of men within the church and asking the hard question. Has Christianity feminized the faith? From my perspective the church truly has gone a little too far into the culture of meek and mild, soft and alw

16 Children And Their Bedrooms From Across The World. Where you sleep says a lot about the world you live in. > Joy here, I think I need to look at these photos every single day when I wake up. What does your bedroom look like? Probably four walls, a bed, some pillows, and a closet filled with clo
