My Favorites from 2011

January 3, 2012 — 3 Comments

Every year I post a top 10 list, based on traffic that came to the website over a 12 month period.  You can go read that top 10 list if you’d like, but today I wanted to share a top list of my own personal favorites.

My favorites from this year, and in no particular order:

Small Group Leading Tips // The best post content-wise my website has ever seen, and it came courtesy of the 3rd grade boys small group leader at our church.  I also sleep with her and have fathered her three children.  She is my wife.

I Hate Sam Luce // When detailing all the reasons I really hate Sam, I also added a dumb little image of him with horns.  The best part of the posts, was the lady that came up to me at the Kidmin Conference in Chicago and said, “I just can’t see Sam without seeing those horns you added to his picture!”  Greatest thing ever.

Wanna know what my family did this year?  Check out any of these post.

Doing Hard Things and you can see a sermon I gave this year on the topic as well.

On Being a Foster Parent (another guest post from Starr)

Certainty is Overrated

I personally loved writing about Navigating Staff Relationships.  It’s been a big part of my church-life this year, and something I’m still learning to be better at.  Here are the post related  to this series:

What do you Want?

Time to Move

Practice Accountability

Assume the Best

And finally, one of the most exciting things I did this year on the blog was the video interview with David Platt.  I was totally blown away by his presentation at the D6 Conference in September, and was privileged to talk with him some more afterwards about parenting, life, and ministering to our families.

My interview with Pastor David Platt from the Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, AL and the author of “Radical: Taking back our faith from the American Dream.”

 

Would it be too presumption to ask?  What was a post you loved this year?  Not just on this blog, but anywhere.

David Platt Interview

September 22, 2011 — 8 Comments

This morning at the D6 Conference, I was able to spend some time backstage with David Platt.  He is the Pastor at The Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, AL, and the author of the great book, Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream.  David absolutely blew it up this morning at D6.  I love it when a person is so passionatte about their purpose, that it makes others uncomfortable.

In this quick 7 minute interview we talked about our children, raising them to seek Christ, and helping our kids learn to not be “of the world.”
