Three Truths to Help You Grow Up

Geoff — Sat, 18 May 2013 14:04:52 +0000

Something that I am coming to realize, quite rapidly, is that I’m getting older. I didn’t say old, although I have been caught saying I’m old before. But, I am definitely beginning to encounter more people that are younger than me on a more regular basis. I’m growing up! With that being true, it means [...]

If you know anything about musical instruments, music, or have an ear for tone, you know how easy it is to make an incredibly different sound come out of an instrument to make a song that is in a Major key sound minor. You really have to make sure your majors are major. It just [...]

Fakers Suck. (And I Are One)

Is there anyone out there that really like fake people? I mean really. Fakers Suck. You’re never sure what they are actually thinking; they say one thing and mean another; they stand for something yet represent something completely different. They just suck. See the thing about fakers is that they are just shady. They don’t [...]

Geoff — Sat, 11 May 2013 13:05:04 +0000

Ask Yourself: When was the last time you were so hungry for God you just turned the TV off and fell down on your knees in prayer? When was the last time you wept over your own sin? When was the last time you hardly noticed the sins of the world because you were so [...]

GUEST POST: Jesus is LOVE

Geoff — Sat, 04 May 2013 11:58:48 +0000

What do I think what Jesus means to me? There are many things that come to mind, but automatically there is one that sticks out more than the others. Jesus is everything that is good. He is truth, He is grace, He is forgiveness, and compassion, reconciliation, and joy. All of those things are true, [...]

The End of Complaints

Geoff — Fri, 03 May 2013 06:51:04 +0000

I was driving down the road the other day, and of course I was in a hurry, and the people in front of me weren’t in such a hurry. You’ve heard this illustration a thousand times because it happens all the time. Especially to people like me. At least that’s what I think is reality [...]

The J Bomb: A Guest Blogger Series

Geoff — Thu, 02 May 2013 13:47:17 +0000

I love hearing from other people. It is in our stories that true color is injected into the grayness of our lives. In light of that, I’ve asked a few people to answer the question: “Who is Jesus to you?” This simple question is one of the most personal, highly debated, and incredibly revealing questions [...]

Take a Step Today Towards THERE!

Geoff — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 06:35:10 +0000

Wisdom is one of the most needed things in the world. It gives direction to foolish men, it guides and directs our path. But, I’m afraid that too many young leaders, like myself, mistake wisdom for worry in many cases. The reason I know this is: they aren’t doing anything or going anywhere. They need [...]

GUEST POST: BE the Difference in a Student’s Life

Geoff — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:10:03 +0000

I love Steak ‘n Shake. It’s hard to beat a place that offers a juicy hamburger, crunchy fries, $1 sweet teas, and a milkshake all for under $10…and my wife and I love it. We enjoy going there, laughing with each other, and spending time talking to each other. But I’ve found something that bothers [...]
