Crowdfunding Ain’t So Bad

You know what I find annoying besides Crowdfunding? When I walk into a store, and I’m just in the mood to look around, and the clerk says ‘Can I help you Sir?” It’s annoying! And it seems a little pushy on their part. But I get over it. So do you. We know thats “Just […]

Back to the Beginning

Back to the Beginning? “Jeff, didn’t you mean “Back To The Future?” Nope. This fall 2018, God is saying it’s time to go – back to the beginning. Oh, I love the Back To The Future franchise. And I could watch Marty McFly and Doc all weekend long! But I am somewhat captivated by – […]

Enjoy The Ride

“Enjoy the ride!” When it comes to trusting God, sometimes that is all you can tell someone. Last August, some good friends said exactly that about trusting God in our future plans. I attended a reunion/prayer retreat in Council Bluffs, IA – the brainchild of my good friend Shun Lee Fong – Principle Creative / […]

You Are Weak…

We have these convos every day about Christians we know who are really weak: “Oh did you hear the news about so-and-so?!” “Are you kidding me? How could so-and-so do this-and-that?” “I know! I think we better spread the news about so-and-so!” Well… okay not really. It’s not exactly that obvious. Or, is it? Of […]

Love Works

Isn’t that how the Daycare song goes? Well my wife Sylvie (who is an amazing Daycare consultant) sang a catchy tune with her kids when they were cleaning up and actually, it goes like this: “What’s gonna work? Team – Work!” Yeah, so… I was in church few weeks ago, and was telling a story […]

Do These Go Together?

How are you doing on this damp July day? Funny. July and damp. Do these go together? Not usually. But it’s been like that in Minnesota the past few weeks. And sometimes life is that way – things that normally don’t go together seem to come along. We take the good with the bad. Our […]

The Right Dreams

Walt Disney. What a dreamer. He said: “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” What is your dream? If you look at my life history, I think it’s obvious that God called me to be an eternal creative force in the world. To be honest, it hasn’t been […]

Are You A “Great Christian?”

I know, this is a hard one to answer. Most ministers would say “Why yes I am a Great Christian!” And then, upon request for the reason for their enthusiastic reply they might say “Because I’m a pastor!” or “I am a Christian author!” or “I have 30,000 Twitter followers” or “Because I have an […]

Transformed?

[sgmb id=”1″]Everyone is talking about “transformation” these days. Ah, but can you blame them? It’s like, a really awesome concept – something mundane (like a caterpillar) can transform into a beautiful butterfly! Yes indeed. And so now we all want to become more beautiful, more successful, more powerful, more famous, more popular, more socialized. But […]
