I hope you get the chance to do something fun like roll out a slip n’ slide or throw water balloons at people. Both of those things are fun. To my grandfather, my friends in the service and all...

Want to torture a Christian who recently got engaged? Don’t allow them any space in the conversation to tell you that they’re not living with their fiancé. That’s some good fun, my friend, because we...
Sometimes the hardest part of loving people is that you don’t always get to hear the whole song. You reach out. In a time of need or hurt or maybe even hope. And you get pushed away. You get chased a...
Back in the day, we used to give away free stuff all the time on Stuff Christians Like. Then we stopped after that “badger in a bag” giveaway, which went about as well as you can imagine a prize of t...
I’ve read the Bible. The entire Bible, from “In the Beginning,” to “It’s gonna get crazy up in here!” (Not a direct translation.) And I’m almost positive that what I’m going to talk about today is no...
A few weeks ago, I got to see the awesomeness of adoption first hand. My brother Will and his wife Tiffany adopted a baby boy! They live in Nashville too and it was amazing to rush over to their hous...

There are two things you need to know about missionaries: 1. You should always support them. 2. You should never complain around them. The first one is pretty obvious: They need our money and our pra...
I am about to owe a dollar to my 6-year-old. Maybe even two dollars, which is the little kid equivalent of 19 million dollars. At least that’s what my dad would do in this situation. When I was a boy...
Dear Sunday School, Wow, where do I even begin? It’s been so long since we last talked. Fifteen years at least. I used to go see you in college on the Sundays I would go to church. There you were, fa...
I am more awkward than you. You probably feel like you are awkward, but you don’t have 5,000 witnesses to something awkward you did two weeks ago. I do. I was speaking at the Orange Conference in Atl...

Many Christians reach a point in their small group relationship where they realize, “This isn’t working anymore. I need to see other small groups.” It’s a tricky situation, fraught with unique challe...
I’m doing more public speaking right now than I have ever done. And usually, before I step on stage to share an idea with a crowd, I have a conversation with God in my head. It goes something l...
A few weeks ago at church, I sat next to a couple who were doing a play-by-play analysis on the entire service. From the very first worship song to the very last announcement, they were talking about...
I don’t need the table of contents in my Bible. In fact, I’m so holy I ripped it out and rolled it up into a homemade shofar horn to call my kids down to dinner. But that’s so paper of me, declaring ...

If I was London, I would have watched the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics and thought, “Oh great. We just have to follow an intricately choreographed performance by more people than live i...
I often feel that I am in the midst of a great adventure from God. We talk about “calling” in our culture a lot, and going on “missions” for God. Sometimes, though, I put trem...
I’ve been very clear over the years about my desire to have my own signature cologne. Long before Diddy released his, I had plans to become a perfume professional or titan of scent, if you will. On M...
Yeah, that’s right, “Ants.” Though I’ve posted before about my disdain for ticks and mosquitos (I’m incredibly unique), I’ve never really noticed the wonder of ants. Until this video. In it, scientis...
A few months ago my wife made a power play and announced to me that we were now “Front Row Baptists.” Those weren’t her exact words, but the gist is the same. Starting next Sunday, instead of sitting...

Not going to lie, when I posted about introverts last Thursday, I was not expecting 1,000 comments. In fact, I was actually a little concerned that no one would pipe up about the most awkward things ...
Last summer I got stung four times by jellyfish while visiting Tybee Island. If you don’t follow me on Twitter than you probably missed that fascinating series of tweets that mostly involved me sayin...
Say what you will about hymnals, they never went blank in the middle of a song. In between verses you never looked down and realized there were suddenly no words on the page. But that happens to wors...
