What Your Church Sign Says About You

September 23, 2016 By drairwolf Leave a Comment

About a month ago my family was on vacation in a small town in Michigan. Wherever we go I tend to notice churches and predict it’s personality from what I see on the outside. So, as we drove through this quaint town, I couldn’t help but notice 3 church signs and so thought I’d discuss what a […]

The Weird Dreams We Have: David and the Angry Terrier

May 3, 2016 By drairwolf Leave a Comment

Weird Dreams: I have this weird dream I’d like to confess. I love dogs and after having to give away our dog a few years ago, I’d eventually love to own another. But, because of all the downsides of dog ownership, like actually having to care for the dog, I’m not pushing to purchase one […]

How Leading a Team is a Lot Like Cross-Country

December 17, 2014 By drairwolf 2 Comments

I was never very good at cross-country in high school. Any time my picture was taken during a race, I looked like I was passing a kidney stone or had been kicked in the face repeatedly. I may never have won a race, but did learn a thing or two about running one. In any race, […]

5 Music Videos Every Christian Needs to See

December 5, 2014 By drairwolf Leave a Comment

Remember what it was like to feel far from God? I was talking with a friend recently who described feeling like “something” was missing from his life. For some people it’s a distant memory while for others it’s a daily reality. The truth is, the further we get from the time we felt  far from God, the […]

Friedrich Nietzsche Helped Me Believe in Jesus

December 2, 2014 By drairwolf 1 Comment

I remember walking out of a Philosophy class one day during college and feeling like my head was going to explode. Our class had spent the previous hour arguing against the existence of God and the ability to truly know anything at all. It’s always an interesting adventure for a Christian to have to argue against […]

Is It Possible to Do Good?

November 15, 2014 By drairwolf Leave a Comment

I’m not sure I’ve ever done a truly selfless thing in my life. I’ve served in Haiti, helped the homeless, visited the sick, taken out the trash without being asked, and yes, even helped a little old lady cross the street. (I’m not 100% I’ve done that last one- but you get the idea.) I […]

free thank you ecards- to thank your volunteers

November 10, 2014 By drairwolf Leave a Comment

In order to help thank your volunteers, I found 3 sites you can use to send them thank you ecards. All you have to do is tell them the person’s name and e-mail address where you’d like to send the card and they’ll do the rest. A little thanks goes a long way.    Here’s the […]

The Marriage Challenge

October 31, 2014 By drairwolf Leave a Comment

Maybe you always thought the first marriage was a match made in heaven. You thought Adam and Eve were a picture of perfection in paradise. For a time that may have been true. But then, as they disobeyed God, and sin began to infect everyone and everything- something happened. Adam and Eve had marriage problems. Adam […]

October 15, 2014 By drairwolf Leave a Comment

Below are some numbers you can use after people sign up for your group to determine if you have enough people. (You may not know the people who signed up for your group, but may be able to work with your group coach or staff to see if others may know them.)   Here’s an equation you […]
