The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” Luke 10:37
That’s the question I had when I was growing up. Across the street, a new family moved in, and they had a son my age. I was super excited to have a potential new friend. A few days went by, and I built up the courage to go and talk to him. This guy was awesome! He was my age and enjoyed the same things I did. It was the best. A year went by, and he and his family

Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart Psalm 119:2
I remember taking swimming lessons as a young kid at my local rec center. They got us comfortable in the water by helping us learn to float and to blow bubbles to the tune of Tiny Timmy the Turtle. As a kid, I thought these lessons were kind of silly. I grew up not too far from the ocean and had been many times, but it was important to my parents to get me comfortable, and I am very

Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced Psalm 105:5
I have coached a number of different sports and teams throughout the last few years. Starting back in college, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity here at Mile High Academy. My coaching style has grown, and I’ve gotten much better. One thing that I think differentiates me from many coaches is my willingness to be, well, for lack of a better word, odd. Let me explain: I enjoy coach

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13 NIV
Have you ever heard the phrase, "curiosity killed the cat?” Isn’t that such a sad thing to think about? First of all, nobody wants the cat to be killed; it's just a kitty. Second, it kind of makes curiosity seem like a problem. What’s interesting is that this popular saying has a second half. The full thing goes like this: “Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.” Not m

Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. Exodus 34:10
As a kid I wanted to know how things worked. That’s a pretty common experience I think for most kids. They have a deep curiosity for the world around them. For me that came with technology. Someone once tried to explain to me

"When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” — Luke 5:4
Earlier this summer, seven high school students set off on a discipleship experience called The Deep. Going into it, they had different expectations and desires, but little did they know this experience would change their relationship with Jesus forever. I was lucky enough to have a front-row seat to what God was doing. Picture this: a teenager waking u

Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Matthew 9:37-38, NKJV
Earlier this week, our dinner table was garnished with some of the best steamed broccoli I've ever tasted. And it came from our church garden! I don't consider myself to be an expert farmer, so when my family and I heard about the start of the church garden, we were glad for the opp

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
Recently my wife (Steffanie) and I hiked a 14’r here in Colorado. It was an experience. We went because my mother in-law wanted to hike up a 14’r for her 60th birthday to prove she could still do it. Let me tell you I felt like I was holding her back. She w

The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself. Proverbs 11:25, NKJV
Several years ago, I tuned in to the K-LOVE morning show just in time to hear the DJs asking a question that I had just been asking myself: Are we supposed to tip at walk-up counter, fast-food restaurants? It has become the new norm for a tip-line to show up on fast food receipts -- Taco Bell, Panera Bread, etc. As I've signed receipts or pay screens at such establish

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1, NIV
This weekend, the night sky will be lit up with fireworks to celebrate our country's freedom, an independence our forefathers declared 250 years ago. John Adams was right when he envisioned the birthday of America being celebrated in generations to come with "bells, bonfires, and illuminations." As Americans, we realize tha

Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” Mark 9:24, NKJV
In Mark 9, we find the story of an unnamed father who feels utterly powerless to help his demon-possessed son. The context and specifics may not be every father's story, but my guess is that every father still resonates with this feeling of helplessness. Combine this with the unspoken expectation that dads can fix anything, and you've got a recipe for de

Have you ever wandered away from your parents? When I was a kid we took the grueling 5 hour flight from Hawaii to California to visit my grandparents one summer. I don’t have many memories of this trip except one thing that is stuck in my mind forever, getting lost in

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:16, NKJV
It was fifteen minutes prior to kicking off the third day of Vacation Bible School, but there were already a couple dozen early-bird attendees patiently waiting in the gym. Without much thought, I yelled "Freeeeeze tag!" And so ensued a seemingly endless cycle of chasing and tagging. Children's ministry isn't for the faint of

Ok, ok...so I can be a little competitive at times. Just ask my family what it's like on game nights, or ask my parents how many childhood tennis racquets I disfigured whenever I lost matches against my older brother. While I've had my extreme moments of frustration over failure, I think we can
