A short chat with Joe Battaglia — The Politically Incorrect Jesus
Here’s another Flash Back Interview that is inspiring us to prepare for NRB 2017…with Joe Battaglia! Joe is one of our favorites and we love hearing his insights (but you’ll need to add in his fabulous New York accent on your own!) With all of the talk of politics the past few months, seems fitting to…

Discovering – and remembering – your true identity
SHAKEN: Discovering Your True Identity in the Midst of Life’s Storms, by Tim Tebow and AJ Gregory I’ve always liked Tim Tebow. While I could never cheer for the Florida Gators, Tebow’s charm and optimism have always been contagious. Face it — how could you not pull for a talented athlete who is so passionate…

Love can win —-

Messy Grace…made me really sad
I was so curious when I picked up a copy of Messy Grace by Caleb Kaltenbach. I’m fairly certain that no one in my circle of friends has anything close to his life story. Today, Caleb is a pastor of a large church, but he had a most unlikely childhood for this calling. He grew up being shuttled…

Avoiding the Storm
It is Monday – a crazy busy Monday. I get a few of these days per year where all of the forces that be converge, and you just know deep in your soul that it’s just going to be a brutal day. Brutal. Things are a mix of good and challenging. I have deadlines. Parents…

Pushing the Reset Button
It’s July 1. How did that even happen? I blinked, and suddenly we are half way through a year that feels like it just began. Wasn’t it just Valentines Day? Since Easter, I feel like I’ve been out of balance. Too much work. Not enough exercise. Not enough time with friends. Too many foods that…

One degree from tragedy…
Orlando. I’ve been staying off social media this week because I just can’t do it. I want to know what the world is discovering about the tragic shooting at the Pulse nightclub on June 12 – but I can’t handle the politicizing of some of the people in my network. Do you feel the same?…
