Man On
The men’s ministry at Life Conyers has started a new saying: “Man On.” We are more than just a program or event. We are men learning to live for God in all areas of our life. I encouraged the men to show up each Sunday knowing that it was a Men’s ministry day. They need […]

Carried Through the Struggle
When our circumstances are difficult it is easy for them to become our focus. We lose faith in God our father who is always there to carry us through. Deuteronomy 1:31 = [A]nd in the desert. There you saw how the Lord your God carried you as a father carries his son, all the way you went […]
We Are So Much More

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. – John 1:14 Until just recently, I never really thought about this passage as relating to Christmas. But think about it for […]
Bread of Opportunity
I love it when a plan comes together; especially when I did not know I had one. Perhaps you have encountered a stranger who turned into a great new friend. Maybe during a casual conversation you learned about a new career opportunity. How about those times that fate just seemed to fall in your lap […]
Pastor, Leadership Coach, Speaker: I am enthusiastic about helping others discover their purpose and grow into a deeper relationship with Jesus. It is great to see their eyes light up at their “Ah Ha!” moment when they discover they were created for something more.
