The beautiful thing about the Psalms is that you read about every type of emotion that we experience as humans. This past week, I’ve been reflecting daily upon Psalm 130. “Out of the depths I call to you, Lord! Lord, listen to my voice; let your ears be attentive to my cry for help. Lord, if you kept an account …
If you’ve made it to this article, then you know that the title is facetious. In my 24 years of being a son, I think it’s safe to say that parents don’t like to be told how to parent from anyone. We’ve all been in a position where a child is out of control and have thought: “I would NEVER …
I get asked a lot: “What is it you exactly do throughout the week?” To my friends, I typically make the joke of: “What do you mean? I only work on Sundays!” You’re probably chuckling because you might have thought the same thing at one point. Don’t be embarrassed; I use to think the same thing when I was growing …
What is it in your life that could be a potential danger? Have you actually thought through that? What even is a danger? Is danger confined to your life being threatened or could it go deeper than that? In Matthew 2:13-18, we see Joseph faced an extreme danger.

For those of you not familiar with this story, let me set the stage. Jesus has begun his ministry by first selecting men to follow …
I know people joke a lot about me being so young, but in all reality, they are right. It was 6 years ago, around this time, that I began my senior year of high school. As I see the hustle and bustle around Blacksburg with new Virginia Tech students moving in as well as Montgomery County Schools beginning, I couldn’t …
I can’t believe that the week is already over! As I’m sitting back in Blacksburg reflecting on what the Lord did this past week, I am so humbled that he allowed myself and our wonderful leaders to be a part of it. As we transition back into the real world, my prayer is that students wouldn’t forget the decisions that …
A parent texted me the other day saying that a “heat wave” was hitting the Carolinas and I responded by saying “we’re definitely feeling it.” Even with the hot temperatures and high humidity, the students are having an incredible time! Sharie King led our morning breakout session and she talked about what it looked like for us to eliminate distractions …
I can’t believe that this day is already over but it was another exciting and PACKED day! After a brief night of sleep, we gathered together for breakfast and a few morning worship services! From my two roommates, I got to hear a story of my wonderful sleep talking skills. We also laughed about the story of a particular student …
