The first Christmas wasn’t easy. There were the wonderings about the meanings of prophecies and angelic meetings. Hoping your husband doesn’t leave you. Whispers of sexual impropriety and social anxiety. A long travel by foot while 9 months pregnant. Sleeping with animals in a barn. Your first baby born… not at all in the … More My Wife & Mary
Hi, I’m Seth, I’m a worship leader. And I have a problem. I judge and look critically at worship services when I attend other churches. I know others have this issue too. It’s frustrating because I really want to just let go and worship, but I’m thinking about the details and how I might apply … More The slide person at worship messed up again.
I used to be scared of cooking, and well, mostly just messing up cooking. I’ve definitely done it plenty of times. It’s one area of life that I’ve really pushed through fear (out of necessity) to find a place of enjoyment. That’s the analogy for today: we’re talking about food, but it’s more than that. … More What’s the WORST that could happen?
I have a lot of ideas. I mean, it’s fun to always be thinking, but it can be a big pain too. Especially when you want to do THEM ALL!! Anybody with me? The trouble is that you can’t. It’s impossible. Truth is that the healthiest people, businesses, teams and families know what’s most important … More FEARlies : It’s OK to Quit
This episode makes me laugh. The journey through the book Do One Thing Everyday That Scares You continues on today. My quotes/challenges are getting much more specific now.

Yesterday, my wife and I drove over 1000 miles in one day. We loved sharing the day via FACEBOOK LIVE with family and friends across the country. The interactions helped the day go by so much faster and we had fun making them. I didn’t want to attempt something that might “fail” because traveling that … More Raw and unedited from the road!
Just open your eyes and see the opportunities to live, grow, love and serve. They’re right there. We just need to step into them. Don’t let fear lie my friends. Here’s the story from yesterday:
Do you ever say, “NO” to something because you might fail or fail someone or look like a failure or whatever other “fail phrase” makes sense? Me too. Too often, I might add. Although, the past few years have gotten a TON better. This series confronts the fact that FEAR LIES to us everyday. No, … More I sent the email.
I totally balked. Sorry for the sports analogies, but I played tons of sports as a kid and even though I don’t play (or watch) them as much as I used to, they are still a part of my DNA. If you don’t know, a balk in baseball is when a pitcher makes a move … More I gave into the fear.
