Whenever I come to a different country, I take these short video to help you transport you to the spot. My hope is that you’ll see the beauty of the English countryside and majesty of old building and come visit one day. Amazing history in this land of our forefathers. 

This August, I kicked off the AWAKEN series at Woodmen Valley Chapel in Colorado Springs. Here is the video from that message. I gave this message in conjunction with a week-long showing of “In Their Shoes: An Orphan Experience.” Designed as a tool to protect girls from sex trafficking and rescue those already trapped, “In…

When you first arrive in Oxford, England, what’s the first thing you do?!

Every one of us possess the desire to be unique, and to become more than we are today. In God’s kingdom, we sacrifice those selfish desires for God’s glory.

Delivered from the steps of Washington DC’s Lincoln Memorial, King spoke of a world in which his children would be judged by the content of their character vs. the color of their skin. Tomorrow, Fox News host Glenn Beck will hold…

If this doesn’t convince you that evil is alive and well in our world, I don’t know what will. In 1692, nineteen people were convicted of witchcraft and hung in Salem, Massachusetts. What’s happening in Africa makes that look a blip on the radar compared to the number of children who are being killed. Their…

I was reminded of this truth last night while watching a movie with my wife entitled, Defiance about two brothers who selflessly save over 1,000 Jews from the Nazi’s by hiding in the forests of Belorussia.   Another picture of good overcoming evil is the…
