I started this podcast up with the intention of helping people go over and beyond in their walk with Jesus. Â Within myself, I see the tendency to do the bare minimum. Â Among the people that I interact with, I see the same drift as well. Â Instead of doing all that we can, we want to do only that which is …
Christians live in a time when we are comfortable talking about trivial matters and uncomfortable discussing gospel opportunities. Â If someone brings up your favorite sports team, you passionately defend their chances. Â If someone brings up movie you’ve seen, you sound like a professional cinema critic. Â If there is an awkward pause in a conversation, you know just how to start …
In 2008, I was deep in the middle of my doctorate studies when our first child, Obadiah, was born. A 10-day seminar was scheduled 6 weeks after his birth. As naive young parents, we thought it would be easier if we were all together. I had all-day classes and all-night reading and writing.

After we moved into our home, I had the challenging opportunity of getting grass to grow in a new yard. The ground was so compacted, I had to break it up. I bought an aerator for my lawn but it first required some assembly. I didn’t have the exact size wrenches I needed, but I was sure I could make …
