Ministry
A Cause Greater Than a Flag
I am literally sick over the ongoing racial debates on social media. Just a few weeks ago it was the issue in McKinney and now the Confederate flag. Like the Bible, people find it easy to cherry pick history to prove their point. However, it is unlikely you will change someone’s mind or their heart. […]
Called to be Available
Several weeks ago I read a post by Brad Waggoner over at Thom Rainer’s blog. Brad talks about leading when you are in a support role. He made the statement that we are “called to be available.” It may not be what we feel is our eventual calling but we must be available to Jesus […]
Another Year of Great Reads – What I read in 2014
I have a simple goal to read just 20 books each year. I know there are many who read a lot more than that but 20 is the right number for me. In 2014 I barely completed that goal by reading 21. It was a busy year. Please note that the lack of comments […]
Making Ministry Simple Every Day
Ministry every day really is not difficult. At least it should not be. We have a lady that has been faithfully attending life church for over a year now. It is amazing to see how her relationship with Jesus has grown. For many months she had been out of work and each week we would pray […]

I know there are those that think ministry is all glamorous and all Pastors do is spend an hour or two getting ready to preach. Yet there really is a lot that goes on behind the scene. For the majority of Pastors who lead small churches we really do take on a lot of different […]
Urgent: Proclaim the Kingdom of God
Summoning the Twelve, He gave them power and authority over all the demons; and power to heal diseases. Then He sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. – Luke 9:1-2 Sadly the church and as individuals we have taken this scripture too lightly. It is so easy to […]
Four Things to Remember About Those We Lead
As church leaders we are passionate about God’s call in our lives. If you are like me, you eat it, sleep it, and breathe it. No matter what you might be doing at the moment you find thoughts of your calling are never very far away. That passion is a great thing. We should […]

David’s 400 Men A Picture of the Church
In addition every man who was desperate, in debt, or disconnected rallied around [David], and he became their leader. About 400 men were with him. – 1 Samuel 22:2 David had been anointed to be king and he had killed a giant. He had won great battles and the people chanted, “Saul has killed his thousands, […]
A New Open Door for the Stallings Family
Sometimes I wish God would give m a little more insight into what he was doing. My wife Janice and I are walking through a new open door. We are excited and a bit nervous, because we can’t see very far down the hall. But here we go. At the end of 2011 Janice and […]
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.
