how to forget (seriously)
Hey [CORRECTED_NAME GOES HERE], do you want to know the worst part about running a Bible memory podcast and YouTube channel? Everywhere I go, people expect me to be really good at memory. Not just kinda good. Absolutely amazing. My dirty little secret is this: I forget what I memorize all the time. I'm not trying to be humble here at all. I seriously forget my memorized passages all the time. And it used to really frustrate me. My hope is that this is an encouragement to you. You're not alone...
a chat with Joni Eareckson Tada!
Hey [CORRECTED_NAME GOES HERE], a couple weeks ago my friend Scott Stonehouse preached at our church and said something that really resonated with me. He said: Some people are coming out of a season of trouble. Some are experiencing trouble right now. For everybody else, it's coming your way. In other words: Suffering is part of this life. That's not meant to be a discouragement to you. In fact, Jesus warns his disciples in John 16:33 that they will have trouble but that they should "take...
it was amazing
Hey [CORRECTED_NAME GOES HERE], there's so much to share with you from this past week I almost don't know where to start. Despite a huge thunderstorm that ripped through Dallas last week and delayed a bunch of flights, we still had hundreds of people join us for our second annual Scripture Sync Dallas. It was amazing. This week has been spent trying to recover from the exhausting joy it was to put on this event and also try to finish editing the replays. There were two pretty big things we...
it's fiinally here
Hey [CORRECTED_NAME GOES HERE], it's been a year of planning, praying and preparing for our second annual Bible memory gathering that we call Scripture Sync. And it all kicks off tonight! We have hundreds of people from multiple countries who are converging on my home church here in Dallas to connect around Scripture memorization for the next two days. I've spent some time at the church this week trying to arrange some final details and prepare the space. I have two quick requests for you:...

this millionaire was shocked
Hey [CORRECTED_NAME GOES HERE], this week met a man at a business conference who was incredibly successful and wealthy. His stated goal was to "be famous" and to make hundreds of millions of dollars instead of just the tens of millions he already had made. After a bit of conversation, he turned and politely asked me what I do. "I make YouTube videos about memorizing the Bible." I don't know what he expected to hear, but it definitely wasn't that! He was a bit caught off guard and I could tell...
back in Dallas!
Hey [CORRECTED_NAME GOES HERE], I'm sitting in a Starbucks as I write this email, drinking coffee to help me stay awake while fighting some major jet lag. Ha. That's what happens when you fly 20+ hours across the world from Asia to the US. I'm happy to report, however, that we've survived all of the flights and have safely arrived in Dallas! I'm looking forward to attending our home church this weekend and hugging friends we haven't seen in years. I'm also working incredibly hard finalizing...
now THIS is talent
Hey [CORRECTED_NAME GOES HERE], yesterday I had the joy of sitting as a proud parent watching my oldest son win a gold medal with his volleyball team. This group of boys is incredibly talented and it's been fun seeing them grow in both athletic ability and relational maturity. And, of course, I'm super proud of my son. 😉 For you, it may not be volleyball - it could be academics, your career or music - but the Lord has given you unique talents and abilities. Even if you don't acknowledge them,...
it's a Christian "cheat code"
Hey [CORRECTED_NAME GOES HERE], last week I had the privilege to preach at a local Thai church where we live. Preaching is difficult for me and not something I do often, but the hardest part was trying to find a topic and takeaway that would be applicable in the Thai culture. As I began to think and pray, I kept coming back to this universal idea of suffering. Throughout the history of Christianity, the theme of suffering has been present no matter what culture or time period. Peter talks...
do you trust Luke's memory?
Hey [CORRECTED_NAME GOES HERE], so I have this health coach who helps me with my workouts and diet, and he's asked me to start documenting all the food that I eat each day in an app. It's not a difficult task, but I forgot to log my food this last Monday and Tuesday and I went back in to fill out it. And guess what? Less then 3 days later, I had forgotten what I had to eat earlier in the week. I'm sure you know how that feels, right? (or is it just me who is getting old?) It feels like our...
