Travis Agnew This week’s book of the week is Timothy Keller’s The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism. You can listen to him explain the book in the video above. My college roommate, Phillip, told me about how great Keller’s writings were, and since I started my religion course back, I thought this would be a good mind-stretching selection …
It has been a few weeks since I posted a worship team training thought on here, so I wanted to post something I had been working on. This month’s value is unity: leading with selflessness. We are a team. The musicians, technicians, and host team. We all work together to make one thing happen: we want to create an environment …
In constructing correct doctrinal beliefs, we each must wrestle with the issue of the Trinity. The Trinity is the term used to express the belief in the Christian Godhead as one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

It was so refreshing. And I was also so humbled to be led by our team. Amanda, Angela, and John shared the lead vocal …
This week’s book of the week is by Francis Chan entitled Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit. Chan has been a mentor of mine from events, sermons, and writings. I believe he has been placed by God in this generation to wake the church up and invite us back to walking intimately with God. In this …
If you are like me, the pictures on the news are still too much to bear. With questions abounding and people making statements concerning God’s judgment or God’s absence, I wanted to address some of those comments. As soon as I wanted to, I read Southern Seminary’s president, Dr. Al Mohler’s response, and I can’t think of a more complete …
Help for Haiti All of us have been devastated over the recent days with the images that have come across our screens. The chaos present in Haiti is overwhelming.
