Last night, I had the opportunity to hear Noel Jones speak at the 10th Spirituality and Medicine Banquet sponsored by Howard University. Noel Jones is one of my favorite speakers. He said that you discover your purpose when your gift meets a need. The time will arise when your God-given gifts match an existing need. [...]

I’m truly excited about our Expression event coming up on Friday, May 5th. I’m learning more and more about the rewards of engaging culture. It’s not always easy. As a pastor, it can be easier to engage other believers. You spend so much time with them. You already know their needs and tastes, especially if [...]

If you’re like me, you’ve witnessed constant media coverage of the Virginia Tech University shooting. Some students have decided to go back home and take a much needed break. I don’t know any Virginia Tech students personally. If you do or know of any Virginia Tech students in your congregation, extend a hand of love [...]

I had another opportunity to speak at Zion yesterday. It was an honor to give Pastor Keith Battle a break yesterday. He gave an awesome message on Easter! After preaching as hard as he did, anyone would need a break. On Easter morning, he mentioned that God was beginning to open doors for some us. [...]
