Cancel Culture Vs Christ Culture
Imagine if Jesus participated in today’s “cancel culture”? One sin and your canceled. Colossians 2:14 says, having canceled the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

How to have more screen time
Ok for anyone who knows me or has read any previous blogs you know the title of this post is a “hook.” One of the more significant changes I’ve made in my journey toward greater life balance is reduce my screen time and social media usage.

Dead Air
“Dead air” is an unintended period of silence that interrupts a broadcast during which no audio program material is transmitted.
