We’ve all been there—standing in a slow-moving line, struggling to navigate a confusing website, or feeling frustrated by a complicated return process. Hassle and unnecessary effort aren’t just inconvenient; they’re often enough to make us walk away. As business owners, we don’t like dealing with extra work and stress, so why should we expect our customers to? Have you ever
“You can pass all the laws, but you can’t pass a law that will create morality in a man’s heart.” Those words from Pastor Rodney Thomas have been on my heart this week as I have scrolled news sites and social media and have seen everything from the plethora of calls for gun reform to questions on law enforcement response.
To all the parents out there who got to go to your kiddos award ceremony across various schools today and post pictures of their awards and celebrate their end of year success … congratulations!! Super proud (and envious of you). To the parents who didn’t even know there was an end of year award ceremony today and whose week went
I have a problem saying “No”. I have a problem taking on other people’s problems or projects. I have a strong tendency to put work first, family second, and God last. That’s completely backwards …I know. And that’s the problem. I know. I know that every “Yes” I give out is a “No” to something else. Overtime, those things I

“Our scars become conversation starters for the gospel.” I loved those words shared by Pastor Andy Coats at the start of his message yesterday at Trinity Baptist Church on “Beautifully Broken: 5 Lessons We Can Learn From 2 Corinthians 5:17-21”. We all have brokenness in our lives. We are busy people who have been hurt by others. We have suffered
Have you ever experienced periods in your life where you weren’t walking in step with Christ? When your life is out of rhythm with your walk as a Christian, you tend to feel exhausted, burned out, and broken. Why? Because the ways of the world draw us to sin. We have a constant battle to give in to what is
Abraham said it.Jacob said it.Moses said it.Samuel said it.Isaiah said it.Ananias said it. When the Lord calls out to you, do you respond with, it? In our Connect Group at Trinity Baptist Church today, we wrapped up our study of Thom Rainer’s book “I Will.” We reviewed how your attitude about life impacts everyone and everything around you, including your
How many times in your life have you looked back on something and said the words, “I wish that I would have _________.” Often in life we are equipped with the knowledge about things, but we choose not to act on that knowledge. That’s because having knowledge without knowing what the future holds creates a level of doubt or uncertainty
In our Connect Group on Sunday, Josh Mudford led us in a discussion on how we can avoid the traps of “Churchianity” and focus our Sunday mornings on being more about Christianity. He asked us to ponder the question, “What is a successful Sunday?” Worded differently, he asked us to ponder, “How can we look back on the morning and
