Vietnam - This One Thing (ASK)
My dad taught me, “A half-truth is a whole lie.” Therein sits the largest issue for us. Our world operates in shadows and nuances of truth. It even has a name, “spin.” The Kingdom operates on bright, radiant, vivid truth. Truth is the result of being fully exposed to God’s Word. Immersing ourselves in the Word, the truth, causes our hearts to lean into truth. Men and nations are not great by virtue of their wealth, but by the wealth of their virtue. Character is always the issue—in family life, marriage, profession, and in our success or failure as men and nations. And...
Remarkable Video from VietNam
What started out as two pastors' summits is now five. Momentum is building in Vietnam. You and I are making a difference.

Day by day. Habit by habit. I’m challenging you today to come...
Is There Something More?
We were with a group of great men in Reno when I asked them this key question, “Is the level of life you’re now living – at the full capacity of your life. Or, do you sense there is something more?” Almost every man said, “I sense there is something more.” I feel the same way. And, that’s the amazing part of following Jesus – there is always more! In Ephesians God speaks through Paul that he has “lavished” his love and grace on us. In Psalms God says through David, “You will be blessed in every area of your life...

You are a master negotiator. You can negotiate yourself out of any good decision. And what’s somewhat ironic for me is that any bad decision in my life has one constant—I was there. Feel that way, too? To get the positive results you want in 2020, spend THREE MINUTES reading this then join me for 10 days starting with communion on January 1…click below. We all have ways to pushback. “It’s too cold to workout.” “It‘s too late.” “Let’s make this happen tomorrow,” on and on. It certainly doesn’t help to turn on the rants of self-proclaimed success coaches that...
