If you are looking for a unique and beautiful gift, look no further! And make sure to read all the way to the bottom, because we’re giving away a gift certificate!

We were given the opportunity to take a look at one of these beautiful Jord watches, and I have to tell you, Mr. Coupondipity is awfully proud of this new statement piece.

First of all, this timepiece is impressive before it ever comes out of the box. The beautiful wooden box is like a gift on its own. With a magnetic closure, the lid stays on tight when storing your Jord watch.

When ordering, you will measure your wrist (or your recipient’s) so that the watch will fit perfectly.

There are several gorgeous styles to choose from. The one that we chose is the Zebrawood and Navy “Frankie” model.

The face is nice and big so you can easily see the time at a glance. The watch features sapphire crystal glass and a deployment buckle with push buttons. The natural zebrawood is hand finished and pre-treated with tung oils.

The watch comes with a preservative stick and extra wood pieces in this super cool “secret” drawer in the box.

If you are not familiar with Jord watches, you’re simply missing out. It’s difficult to describe in written form the beauty of this fine craftsmanship. Jord is focused on creating timepieces that are modeled after a modern lifestyle. They value sustainability, efficiency, and experiential living. They make their watches for people who don’t just have somewhere to be, they have somewhere to go!

Note: I was provided a complimentary Jord watch in exchange for my honest opinion.

I am so excited! Chris Tomlin, Kari Jobe with special guest Cody Carnes (her husband ) and Bethel Music featuring Brian & Jenn Johnson, Brandon Lake, Dante Bowe and Jonathan & Melissa Heiser are going to be in concert together for the first time ever!

These artists are going to be lifting up some of your favorite songs; the ones you know and love. As a worship leader myself, I have led these songs in worship and I can’t wait to sing them with a whole room full of people who are ready to lift their voices in praise to what God has done and is continuing to do in our lives.

Some of these songs have been so meaningful in my life. The first time I heard, ‘Raise a Hallelujah’, it brought chills. We were rehearsing it to use it in one of our worship services, and I immediately started thinking of times in my life when these lyrics hit home. ‘I raise a hallelujah in the presence of my enemies. I raise a hallelujah louder than the unbelief.’ Let’s unpack that for a minute. We, as Christians, are to praise God through any circumstances. You remember how Paul and Silas did that in prison, right? These lyrics could have come straight from Paul’s pen.

Way before this song was written, I remember a time in my life when I had to struggle to praise God through the circumstances. My dad was 54 years old and had just taken on a full time ministry position at our church. He was scheduled for a short stay (24 hour) gallbladder surgery. Probably in and out the next morning. Simple. Except…not so simple. The surgeon nicked his bowel, and didn’t catch the mistake until it was too late. Calls from nurses went ignored. Within 2 days, dad had to be put into a medically-induced coma. It was touch and go for another two weeks. So many people came to the hospital that the staff thought a celebrity was there. We got kicked out of the waiting room and put into the chapel because hundreds of people showed up, lifting my dad and our family up to the Lord. Two and a half weeks after what was to be a simple procedure, my dad died. How do you praise God through that? You just do. You rely on what you KNOW of God and not what you feel at the moment. You refuse to let Satan win. You raise a hallelujah anyway.

We raise a hallelujah ‘in spite of’ whatever is going on in our lives. Because you know what? Before Satan can do anything to us, he has to ask for our Father’s permission. And our Father wouldn’t give permission unless he had an ultimate plan for our benefit. I know that’s hard to understand sometimes.

Are you ready for COVID to go away? I know I am. It’s been hard, hasn’t it? But we are all still standing – we’re still here – and God has provided! And now it’s time to get together and worship!!!

These artists are going to be lifting up some of your favorite songs; the ones you know and love. As a worship leader myself, I have led these songs in worship and I can’t wait to sing them with a whole room full of people who are ready to lift their voices in praise to what God has done and is continuing to do in our lives.

Every day, we see new hope rising. We sing with a passion for Christ that is new. This past year has changed all of us, and we see our faith growing even stronger in the face of extreme adversity. Not today, Satan!

Now it’s time for us to come back together as one people; as one body.

Many of the songs that these great artists will be doing are very special to me. It’s hard to choose a favorite. But I have been privileged to lead Kari Jobe’s ‘Forever’ many times with my congregation.

When we sing these lyrics, I get chills:

The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome
Now death where is your sting
Our resurrected King
Has rendered you defeated

This is what gives us hope. No matter what circumstances we find ourselves in, death has already been defeated!

This Friday, June 11, you can get your tickets! Get them early because I have a feeling this concert may sell out. Click here for tickets. This is the worship event of the summer, and I am giving away two tickets! Want to win? Just click here.

There’s only one Bible that I consider to be the truth, but reading different translations of that Bible can oftentimes aid in understanding our faith.

Just in time for Father’s Day, Lifeway Christian Resources, just last month, has published the CSB (Christian Standard Bible) He Reads Truth Bible.

This Bible is absolutely beautiful and would be a special and meaningful gift for a Father, son, pastor, or friend. It comes beautifully bound and available in Evergreen or Charcoal cloth over board, brown genuine leather, or black leathertouch.

The CSB He Reads Truth Bible includes robust, well-crafted theological extras to draw the reader back to Scripture, increase biblical literacy, and foster a growing affection for God and His Word. Color coded by genre, each book of the Bible features detailed book introductions, a reading plan with supplemental passages for deeper understanding, and full-color maps, charts, and timelines by the He Reads Truth team. In addition, the CSB He Reads Truth Bible features 66 key verses, artfully lettered to aid in Scripture memorization. This Bible invites every man to count himself as part of the He Reads Truth community of “Men in the Word of God every day.”

Features include: 66 hand-lettered key verses, 17 full-color timelines, 21 maps, 122 charts (including infographics and lists), and 4 illustrations, reading plans for every book of the Bible, one-year Bible reading plan, detailed book introductions, key verse list, smyth-sewn binding, two colored ribbon markers, and wide margins for journaling and note taking.

The CSB He Reads Truth Bible features the highly readable, highly reliable text of the Christian Standard Bible® (CSB). The CSB stays as literal as possible to the Bible’s original meaning without sacrificing clarity, making it easier to engage with Scripture’s life-transforming message and to share it with others.

Each book has a custom reading plan and an outline. The reading plans include supplementary passages for added context and deeper understanding. The outlines are included to help you see the structure of each book. Also, because each literary style should be approached differently, they have color-coded the various genres to make them easy to locate and identify.

He Reads Truth is a worldwide community of men who read God’s Word together every day. Founded in 2015, He Reads Truth invites men to engage Scripture through daily reading plans and devotionals written by a vibrant community of contributors. The He Reads Truth Bible offers the community’s favorite Bible engagement and study tools, all in one place.

Actual Phone Conversation:

Me: Hello?
Her: Hey, watcha doin’?
Me: Running after the kids, doing laundry, making dinner, feeding the cat, running after the kids, dishes, more laundry, want me to go on?
Her (laughing): No, sis. You live in crazy town. I just called to see what you’re bringing Saturday.
Me: Uuuuhhh…Saturday?
Her: Yeah – what are you bringing? I’m thinking about doing Aunt Meg’s 7-layer dip but I wanted to make sure you weren’t doing that.
Me: Uuuuh (Joshua, stop licking the cat!)…Saturday?
Her: Geez, pay attention. Yes. Saturday. The barbecue.
Me (weakly): Barbecue? (Joshua, I SAID stop licking the cat!!)
Her: For dad’s birthday? The barbecue? At David’s house? That barbecue?
Me: Dad’s birthday? Saturday?
Her: I feel like I’m talking to someone without a brain. Yes. Dad’s birthday. Barbecue. Saturday. What.Are.You.Bringing?
Me: I gotta call you back. I think Joshua has a hair ball.

The Movie, ‘Same Kind of Different As Me’ opened in theaters this past Friday. You’re going to want to see this movie, and take your entire family.

This movie, starring Greg Kinnear and Renee Zellweger (two of my favorites!) is based on a true story and is moving and inspirational.

Ron and Debbie Hall are comfortable and well off. But their marriage goes off the rails when it’s discovered that Ron has been unfaithful. Committed to saving her marriage, Debbie doesn’t kick him out. Instead, she makes a deal with him. He has to be truthful and authentic with her, and agree to do a few things that she asks. Including serving the homeless at an inner city rescue mission. Ron grudgingly agrees and comes into contact with the kind of people whom he would never normally engage with. Ron’s M.O. when dealing with the “least of these” has usually been to stroke a check, but Debbie wants real change; the kind that changes lives and affects you deep down.

Take a look at the trailer:

Looks great, right? And what a great lesson to teach your kids! Please be aware that this movie is rated PG13, so you may want to consider taking just your older teens.
