I’m planning my speaking events for 2025, so if you’re interested in having me speak — this is the time! I’ve been speaking and preaching and teaching for about 30 years. I get to give 100 or more talks a year, and every time I do it I am humbled by the opportunity.  I really…

Let us pray for the victims of the mass shooting in Manhattan today... And let us honor their lives by taking action to end gun violence. Faith without works is dead.

Ozzy Osbourne is from Birmingham in the UK, home of an incredible community I love to visit (Newbigin House). This is my pal Ash Barker and I next to Ozzy on the Black Sabbath bridge. 🤣 There’s an incredible scene in the documentary on Ozzy where he kneels in prayer and…
