Hey everybody! My friend and amazing musician Heather Evans recorded her own version of Jingle Bells and I got to play violin for her! Check out the music video we did for it!(Also, shout-out to Myra and Gabe of Stereo RV for shooting and editing!)
Or is there even such a thing? Does it come in degrees? Is it all or nothing? Join me as I explore this topic a bit in the video below and let's talk about it in the comments!
Just a few nights ago (10/26/18), I had the privilege of accompanying the amazing Heather Evans at Roseville's Family Fun Night. There were street vendors and costumes and, of course, music! Here's a few posts to recap the night:
Well it's been a minute since I last posted but I'm still here! The purpose of this post is to officially announce that I am starting a video series on YouTube! I am dubbing this series, "Behind The Wheel" as its content will be me sharing thoughts and reflections about life and spirituality as I drive places (don't worry, the camera is safely mounted and operated hands-free; however, I make no apologies for camera-shake... seems an unavoidable...
As silly as this might sound, God gave me a prophetic word through watching a movie recently. I didn't have any massive revelation while watching the movie, but Friday/Saturday night at about 1 AM, I felt God whispering to me about things to come. This is a word intended for the church primarily. Please understand that this word is not about doom and gloom, but about the revelation of true identity. This revelation will be a massive wake-up call...
Silence can feel like rejection and abandonment. This, however, is a lie. This observation is fueled by thoughts that have no intention for your good. It stems from a mindset that says your self-worth is based on constant outward affirmation of a very specific kind. But what if silence itself is an affirmation? What if silence is actually a space of reverence and awe about who you are? What if silence is an opportunity to refresh yourself in the...
Full disclosure: I am a big fan of figurative, symbolic, and hidden meanings. I find them life-giving and full of adventure. I feel like they deepen my appreciation and enjoyment of life. It should then come as no surprise that I feel overlooked and misunderstood by anyone who insists that figures and symbols are somehow less "real" than literal material things. It can sometimes feel like a full on assault on my worldview. The invisible realm...
Originally posted on The Way CA blog at Be sure to visit and check out some of my friend Ben's material there as well! Ever heard of the word sanctification? It’s a big fancy word that basically means “set apart.” Many people also explain that it’s an idea of being set apart from one thing and set apart to another. This is the essence of the term “holiness.” After all is said and done, I like to say that sanctification is a dance...
Today, I want to build on an idea I've previously journaled on but not shared publicly: reputation is the essence of the flesh. I'm referring to the "flesh" talked about in the New Testament. In most places where Paul talks about the flesh versus the spirit, you can understand him to be referring to one's reputation, not the physical body. In Galatians 5, Paul describes the fruit of the Spirit: 9 positive characteristics that demonstrate...
Yep, I feel like God was using the movies recently to prophesy His intentions for us in 2017. Specifically, the new Rogue One Star Wars movie had wave after wave of Presence on various aspects in the plot. Here's what I believe God wants us to know, cling to, and rejoice in this year, as conveyed through a movie! * God is breaking in suddenly and setting free people who have gone through trauma or deep loss in their childhood. This will be a...
