These are the five axe heads that I’m working with Wright right now. Just a puppy. Recuperating them from many years of effort.

Some are pristine, and others have been put through a hard life.

But a new handle… And lots of TLC… And it’s amazing what they can still become.

Help me make a decision between the single blade going, medium length or longer length on the handle…

Don’t let the color of the handle be part of your decision… All of that will be adjusted long before it’s finished.

Do you ever wish you understood the Bible more deeply than you do right now?

Not just the stories…
But the theology.
The structure.
The why behind what you believe.

Maybe you grew up in church but never went beyond the basics.
Maybe you teach or lead—but want sharper clarity.
Maybe you feel called to more, but never had formal training.

I’m considering launching a once-a-month, 2–3 hour evening theology gathering.

Think: informal, college-level depth… without the seminary price tag.
Strong biblical teaching.
Table discussions.
10–12 sessions over a year.
Designed to help you become a better pastor, teacher, and more grounded Christian.

Would this interest you?

If you’d want to grow deeper in your understanding of Scripture, comment or message me.

Rick Pitino just reached 904 career wins — an incredible milestone and a lifetime achievement in college basketball.

As a Kentucky fan, I’ll always be thankful for the years he spent leading the Wildcats. Those were unforgettable seasons filled with passion, intensity, and a standard of excellence that helped shape an era of UK basketball. While time and different paths have led to plenty of debate and mixed opinions among fans, moments like this are bigger than rivalry or disagreement — they’re about recognizing the impact a coach has had on the game.

Congratulations to Coach Pitino on win #904. Thank you for the memories, the championships, and the role you played in Kentucky basketball history.

I’m deeply thankful to serve as the pastor of Woodlawn Church.

Over the past four years, I’ve watched people make real sacrifices—setting aside personal preferences for the sake of what God is doing among us. I’ve seen generosity that costs something, not only financially, but in time, energy, and commitment. I’ve watched people step up to serve in quiet, faithful ways: caring for other people’s children, renovating church spaces, offering creativity that helps shape our future, using their skills everywhere from worship and social media to prayer and counseling for those who are hurting.

I’ve seen our people gather to cook food for the hungry. I’ve watched them care for our elderly in ways that clearly communicate their dignity, worth, and value. Again and again, guests tell me the same thing—that the people of Woodlawn were exceptionally kind to them.

I see a church that has embraced diversity—racially and socioeconomically—with sincerity and grace. I see steady growth, not just in numbers, but in spiritual depth. I see a hunger for good teaching—for sound doctrine and clear biblical direction.

I see friendships forming quickly and deeply. I see people giving themselves to relationships that both sharpen their faith and help carry one another’s burdens. And I see people walking through real hardship—from incarceration to illness—doing so by the grace of God, in ways that honor Christ.

I’m grateful. I’m humbled. And I’m hopeful.

Thank you, Woodlawn, for being a church that loves well, serves faithfully, and keeps pressing toward what God is calling us to be.

Some people tailgate. Some people pace the living room. Some people wear that lucky jersey that hasn’t been washed since Week 6 (you know who you are). But this Sunday, before kickoff… we’re inviting you to do the boldest, most strategic thing possible for your Super Bowl hopes: pray about it. Because if prayer can part seas, topple giants, and raise the dead, surely it can help a quarterback read zone coverage.

Join us at Woodlawn Church this Sunday at 9:30 AM for a gathering where we’ll lift our voices, our hearts, and—yes—our favorite teams before the Lord. Chiefs, Niners, Lions-that-aren’t-playing-but-you’re-still-emotionally-invested… all are welcome. No foam fingers required. No promises on the final score. But we do guarantee better pregame preparation than yelling at the TV alone.

And here’s the real win: while we might smile about football, we’re serious about something bigger. At Woodlawn, we gather to worship a sovereign God, hear good news that actually changes lives, and remind one another that hope doesn’t rise or fall with a scoreboard. Come laugh with us, pray with us, and stay a little longer. Sunday at 9:30 AM. Kickoff for your soul comes first.

Jelly Roll Started With Jesus — And That Matters

When Jelly Roll stepped onto the Grammy stage, he did something that immediately caught my attention:
he didn’t start with himself.

He began with Jesus.

“First of all, Jesus, I hear you and I’m listening, Lord. I am listening, Lord.”

That opening matters. In a moment built for self-congratulation, he chose submission. Not branding. Not platform. Not success. Listening.

Then came gratitude — raw, unpolished, and deeply personal.

“I would’ve never changed my life without you… I’d have ended up dead or in jail… if it wasn’t for you and Jesus — I thank you for that.”

This wasn’t a speech about wealth, power, popularity, or achievement. It was about freedom. About rescue. About a life that didn’t have to end the way it was headed. He spoke about Christ not as an accessory to success, but as the source of life.

“Jesus is for everybody… anybody can have a relationship with Him.”

Now, let’s be honest. Jelly Roll is a fairly new believer. He’s not a systematic theologian. His words aren’t polished. And if someone wants to parse every sentence for theological precision, they might find something to critique.

But here’s the truth: he doesn’t have to be perfect to be real.

And to those who would say, “He can’t be a Christian — look at his tattoos, his past, his jail time, his language” — that argument says far more about the critic than about Christ. Jesus specializes in saving people with records, scars, and complicated stories. Sanctification is a process, not a performance.

What makes Jelly Roll’s story feel so exposed is that his formation is happening in public. Most of us were spared that. And for that, I’m grateful.

Thank God that all of my actions as a young believer were not broadcast to the world.

What we witnessed wasn’t perfection — it was direction. A man turning his eyes upward and saying, “Lord, I’m listening.” And that, biblically speaking, is where real life begins.

We keep having more and more first-time guests every week. We we’ve worked for nearly 4 years, preparing for God to start bringing people our way.

And now it’s happening…
