I love connecting the Bible and its lands to life. This is my personal blog where that happens. My goal is to deliver practical content to encourage you in your relationship with God.

I believe that a life lived well needs a growing and intentional connection with God through Jesus Christ.

• I write on the devotional life, Bible lands, understanding the Bible, and resources I have found helpful on these topics.
• I post 1-2 times a week.
• I also post notable quotes and occasional book reviews I think you’ll find helpful.

My newest project, Walking the Bible Lands, takes you on a virtual tour of the Holy Land through video and audio. See more info here.

I write this blog for you who want to grow in your relationship with God.

In fact, I’d love to send you a FREE copy of my devotional E-book, Grow Strong: 30 Devotions to Deepen Your Christian Life. To receive it, just drop in your email to subscribe to my blog. You’ll also get fresh content sent directly to you each time I post.

A Brief Bio

I have served in full-time Christian ministry since 1991. After graduating from the University of North Texas and Dallas Theological Seminary, I served in the pastorate for 14 years at Denton Community Church, a church plant of Denton Bible Church. In 1995, I returned to seminary to complete my Master of Theology and Doctor of Ministry degrees. During my years in the pastorate I began writing a weekly column for the Denton Record Chronicle, as well as articles for Kindred Spirit magazine and Bible.org. I served in leadership at Insight for Living Ministries, the Bible-teaching ministry of Chuck Swindoll, for 12 years. I have served on the Board of Directors for the National Religious Broadcasters and as an adjunct professor at Dallas Theological Seminary.

My newest project, Walking the Bible Lands, takes you on a virtual tour of the Holy Land through video and audio. See more info here.

I have been married to my wife, Cathy, for thirty-two years. We live in north Texas and attend Stonebriar Community Church, where I volunteer as the Bible teacher of the Marathon Fellowship Class. We have two adult daughters. (The nest is empty.)

Cathy and I took our first trip to Israel in 2000, and frankly, I have never recovered.

Writing about Bible lands is almost as exhilarating as traveling to see them with those who have never journeyed to Israel before. Cathy and I have the joy of leading tours to Israel. (Come with us!) In my doctoral studies, I did extensive work on the benefits of understanding and experiencing the lands of the Bible. My research revealed that a single trip to Israel has a significant impact on a Christian’s spiritual life.

I have written four devotional books (and audiobooks), Waiting on God, Grow Strong, as well as Going Places with God and Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus, which show the practical application of the Bible lands to life. For two years I wrote a weekly column called “Sites and Insights” for the online edition of the Jerusalem Post.

In my free time, I enjoy writing, reading, playing guitar, and woodworking.
