But there’s reasons for this, and I think it’s time I explain. This year pretty much destroyed me. It was a rough year in many ways that culminated in me losing my brother to cancer while in the middle of […]

I’m writing to let you know that I’ve decided to take a short break from publishing the weekly devotional. I know I just did a short break not that long ago. And I was hoping to continue strong! So. . . why the break? Most of you already know that I […]

It grows in darkness. Reacts negatively to light. Exists only as a perversion—dysfunction so desperate that it forgets its rightful place in the body and breaks out, multiplies, and spreads. It inserts itself into things that function perfectly well. Then overwhelms, consumes, and eventually replaces it. In its wake, it leaves death. […]

Fear no man devotional imageAccording to YouVersion, the largest Bible engagement app in the world, the most-read verse in 2020 was Isaiah 41:10, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” I think […]

be patient like abram devotional imageAs I’ve been working on my next novel based on Abram’s life, what’s struck me most is the amount of time he waited for God’s promise to be fulfilled. And I realized, “Boy, someday I want to be patient like Abram.” We don’t know from what age Abram began to follow God. Neither do we […]

The new year came, and I was hoping that with it would come more peace. Because last year, because of political riots, we saw cities (our own!) burning. Set aflame by anarchists bent on personal gain, while politicians stood by and encouraged it. […]

But first, with 2020 gone, I wanted to offer up a prayer for the new year. PRAYER FOR 2021 Jesus, thank you for sustaining us through 2020. Through everything and everyone we lost. Through the pains and the joys we gained. You have […]

Rather than a devotional, I wanted to give a few updates.  Although it may seem like I’ve been pretty inactive (especially because 2020 has felt infinitely long – RIGHT?!), with only one book released this year (EDEN), a lot more has been in the works. In addition […]

let us sing to the lord devotional imageI wrote this devotional for last week, but the day I was going to publish it, I got a call about my brother. He’s been struggling with cancer, and now it isn’t looking so good. Two days after, I woke up to another call that my toddler nephew has had a severe medical emergency, and […]

let us not grow weary of doing good devotional image“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” – Galatians 6:9 I have the hardest time with consistency. Anything that I have to do over and over, every day or week, frustrates me. Like mowing the lawn. Or making the bed. […]
