How do we get off the merry go round? What can we do to get back control of our lives?

You grieve over missed opportunities, mistakes, and failures. Regret paralyzes you from the next step.

I’ve been there, haven’t you? A dead project. A dead dream. A dead relationship. A dead business. No hope.

Why is it that when it is time to give to others we usually think, “Oh, brother…” instead of “Oh, boy!”?

TRUST is affecting everything in your life: your leadership, marriage, business, parenting, and legacy.

I’ve been concerned lately about the Biblical illiteracy in our generation.  A good friend of mine asked me, “What is an epistle?”  I told him, of course, it is the wife of an apostle! I’ve read the Bible through many times and taught each of the 66 books.

It’s true: Most of us don’t exercise.

We talk about it, think about it, and hear about it. The problem is, it is still a million miles away from us doing it.

I can look at some people and see defeat. They look like they have lost: Head down, shoulders slumped, eyes down.

“Fathering is not just a ROLE, it is a FOUNDATION.”

If I could tell you one of my greatest secrets of success, it would be to learn to stay in step with the Holy Spirit. How do we walk with Him?

How can you turn your pain into purpose?

Melanie and I have six children, all married, with 16 grandchildren and 2 on the way.

Every human being wants the answer to the question, “Does God really love me?”

I can tell you right now, He deeply loves YOU.  I can prove that to you by a simple study of God’s own Name.

Which eyes are you looking at your problems with: your natural eyes or the eyes of your heart?

A “soul wound” feels like an emotional sword. It is a deep, intense crying and pain. It can come from rejection, loneliness, depression, and many sources.
