When I was outside tending to my ducks, Lily and Larry, the other day, a hawk suddenly flew over our heads. The terror in my ducks’ eyes was apparent, and they stiffened and became paralyzed with fear. I happened to be standing right next to them at the time, so […]

“Cribs and Hospital Beds” by John DiBiase
The world of the pregnant woman is an ever-interesting world to be a part of. This past week, my parents had plans to come over and assist in assembling a brand new crib for our forthcoming bouncing baby boy. They arrived on time that evening, pizza in hand, about half […]
“The Boarding of the U14JFH” by John DiBiase
I know I’m not big on change. It’s obvious and I realize it’s something I’ve struggled with since the dawn of my own personal “time.” As we get closer and closer (and closer and closer) to pending parenthood — Amy may pop in about a month, actually — preparations are […]
“Jesus Freak” VS “Supernatural”
OK, so this won’t be the conventional blog you normally see here, but it’s one I’m curious what you old school CCM fans would say about. While at Purple Door Festival over the weekend, some friends and I got into a late night diner discussion over which dc Talk album was truly […]
“The Influence of Our Prayers” by Charles F. Stanley
In July, I challenged believers across the land to join me in praying for the spiritual well-being of our nation. As God’s representatives here on earth, we must be serious about our commitment to the Lord if we truly desire our nation to change. We must be dedicated to interceding […]
Sanctus Real Gives Advice on Parenting
John DiBiase: Any advice for new fathers? Pete Provost: You gotta tell me! I can’t answer that one yet. Dan Gartley: Me neither. Matt Hammitt: Hold on! Two words. Nah, I’m just kidding. Goodness gracious! It’s so weird how self-taught parenthood is. It’s so crazy. Even with our first and second, it’s […]
“Think Like Jesus” by J.M. Farro
Before I began devoting myself to regularly studying the Scriptures, I believed that I had to accept every thought that popped into my head. I didn’t realize that I could reject wrong thoughts, and refuse to let them take root in my mind and heart. One of the Scriptures that […]
“Let There Be Wheat!” by Michael Weaver
Well, this is my first post here. I will start by saying that being a parent is a tough thing. It’s rewarding, but there’s a new challenge every day. My daughter, Avery, is 3 years old; a few weeks ago, it seemed she had gotten sick and no matter how […]
“The Tennessee Heat” by Satellites & Sirens
Now the Tennessee heat isn’t really something to mess with. I understand that it’s hotter elsewhere. Don’t worry, I know, I’ve been there. And yes, it’s not pleasant. That said, I’ll again say that the Tennessee heat really isn’t something to mess with. I grew up in Northern Indiana which […]
“Fact or Fiction: How Good Is House of Heroes?” by Josh Taylor
In celebration of the release of House of Heroes’ Suburba today, and in marveling at what a fantastic release it is, I wanted to dedicate this post to them. I’ve been browsing the web, and I can’t really find a negative word about it yet. In fact, most music critics so far […]
