TOP 5 REASONS YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS VIDEO:
1. You’re a man.
2. You’re a woman and you don’t want to be married to a mamma’s boy.
3. You have a son and you want to raise him to be a man.
4. You think Christianity is too girly.
5. You’ve seen Braveheart and you think swords are cool.

We’ve made Jesus too girly and Christianity too soft. In this message, I challenge men to reclaim their warrior nature and reveal three godly characteristics that lay dormant in the heart of every man. Check it out:

the BASICs

Francis Chan asked, “If I only had this as my guide … if all I had was the Bible … and I was to read this book and then start a church, what would it look like? Would it look like the thing that we’ve built here and all refer to as church? Or would it look radically different?”

That seems like a great question to me … so I decided to talk about it. If you’ve missed the BASIC series, here are all seven sessions:

Part 1: Fear God

Part 2: Follow Jesus

Part 3: The Holy Spirit

Part 4: Fellowship

Part 5: Teaching

Part 6: Prayer

Part 7: Communion

 

Want to join the conversation? Meet me at Niceville Assembly on Wednesday nights at 6.30 PM.

15,046 Days

Today is the 15,046th day of my life.

So far I’ve:
* Amassed a huge pile of regrets.
* Done more things wrong than right.
* Lost track of more friends than I can count.
* Managed to embarrass myself on a regular basis.
* Made thousands of stupid decisions.
* Said many, many things that made people mad
(or sad, or hurt, or whatever).
* Learned hundreds of lessons “the hard way.”
* Done some stuff I’ll never mention in public
(& am trying to forget in private).
* Felt the pain of loss, failure and disillusionment.

All-in-all, I think things are going great!

The bottom line is God doesn’t give a rip about any of that stuff.

He’s not mad at me.

He’s not disappointed.

He loves me.

A lot.

In fact, He loves everything about me.

Yes, everything … because he sees me through the perfection of Jesus — not the failures of Kraig.

If for no other reason than Jesus, I can tell you with sincerity, things are going great!

“I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back” (Philippians 3:12-14 MSG).
