I am Second…

by A.J. Wood September 20, 2009 Faith

Top 4 Ways Christians Can Unleash People’s Expectations

by A.J. Wood August 30, 2009 Faith

Today at Abundant Life Church, our Student Pastor, Donnie Culpepper, asked parents to release their expectations on their children so that God could unleash the potential of this next generation.

Christmas Lights, Inspiration & Poop

by A.J. Wood December 22, 2008 Faith

All too often I find myself asking the Lord for direction, but the communication seems a bit one sided.

My First Father’s Day

by A.J. Wood June 15, 2008 Editorial

BEST. DAY. EVER. Nothing can prepare you for parenthood. Not great parents, or bad parents, a lifetime of experience or a generation of knowledge, every parent has to figure it out on their own. My daughter Sydney will be three months old next week. Sometimes I think if I blink her whole life will pass [...]

Christian Stereotypes

by A.J. Wood June 11, 2008 Faith
