    “Baby’s full” When I was in college, there was a dining hall next to my dormitory that was buffet style (i.e., all you can eat). I remember going there every night of freshman year with the same group of friends. One of our favorite nights was chicken tenders night. How can you resist? Unlimited piles…

    I don’t consider myself an emotional individual, but I was really rocked by what happened in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. #HopeForVegas I have also been troubled as I read Facebook posts after Facebook posts that all begin with #MeToo. I was hoping that someone in the Christian space would speak into this topic,…

    Here’s a little snippet I wrote for the October newsletter of Saddleback Kids Irvine South. It was fun to write, so I thought I’d share with the rest of you. Here it is . . . uncut. “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all…

    Only by the grace of God, I had an opportunity for a parenting moment today. This Friday, her youth group is having a Bring-A-Friend night. I asked her who she was going to bring. She said she wasn’t going to bring anybody. I asked her why. She gave me a whole litany of reasons why…

    I was struck by a conversation I had the other night with my two daughters. I’ll try to write it in narrative form rather than the usual movie script form we use on the Interwebs. I had just gotten home from work and was exhausted due to a stressful situation that had arisen in the…

    It’s my birthday, so no post today. For my birthday, I will share with you this anecdote from one of the people I admire most. Stirling Silliphant (a student of Lee’s) relates an interesting story that perfectly embodies Lee’s attitude toward progressive resistance in cardiovascular training as well as his refusal to let a person—in…

    Men, whether you’re single or married, you need to listen to this sermon. The sermon, “Men as Husbands,” was posted on Facebook by one of my students back in November, but I finally got around to listening to it recently (it’s actually over ten years old). What a great sermon! I am now going through…
