Struggling in our Humanity Together

Harris Creek kicked-off two support groups in our community this week through Reclaim Ministries. Women facing the painful and confusing road of infertility gathered on Tuesday evening to work through their grief and share their experiences at Reclaim Infertility Support. Yesterday, a year of planning, training, and prayer came together at Harris Creek’s first Reclaim Recovery meeting. The Reclaim Recovery team beautifully demonstrated vulnerability throughout our training, and we were all encouraged as our first participants openly shared and ...

Social Media Detox- The 1st Month

Our last all-staff  meeting had one looming bullet on the agenda- the “Social Media Experiment”. Brady and Joey introduced an opportunity to the individuals of our staff to take a break from a habit in our lives as engrained as brushing our teeth. The challenge was met with clenched jaws, crossed arms, and audible sighs. A social media-free summer? Is that even possible? An image was created the very same afternoon, replacing the ...

The Chewbacca Lady & Social Media

You’ve all seen it by now, and are probably over it, I know. However, the Happy Chewbacca lady, Candace Payne (who happened to go to my alma mater, Ouachita, NBD), hit on something with her viral post recently that I’ve been thinking about for a while now. I’ll pose it as a question. Shouldn’t Christians be the most fun people to follow on social media? It seems that Christ-followers, who SHOULD be the ...

Learning To “Adult”

When I was a child, I spoke, thought, and reasoned in childlike ways as we all do. But when I became a man, I left my childish ways behind.

But one day, when Jesus arrives, we will ...

She Shall Not Be Moved

A few weeks ago, my family celebrated the life of our youngest son. It was the anniversary of the day our lives changed forever. We celebrate on this day because he is still with us. God spared his life! It is, however, a different life than the one he had and it is definitely not the life we had dreamed for him, but it is life. On this day, every ...

Harris Creek Training Institute: UK

London, England is an epicenter for cultural development. What happens in London doesn’t seem to stay in London. Business ventures, style trends, fine arts movements, and social reform may start within the walls of Big Ben and Parliament, but they flow outward like the River Thames, beyond the realm of the big city and to previously unknowing neighbors. A speck of an idea can float to the heart of Great ...

Where is My Garden?

The taste of eternity Is here on our lips With every breath we sing With every breath we sing of Your majesty It's here in our midst With every breath we sing That question from Brady’s "Life After Life" sermon series has stuck with me. Where is my garden? Where are the places that God has placed me, and am I aware of them? What are the seeds that I am sowing in those places? The seed ...
