In the spirit of the season, we’ll be counting down the Top 7 Most Interesting Lines from Christmas Songs, a list that includes that unforgettable question, “Do you see what I see?” These are the lyrics that have stirred imaginations, puzzled generations, and carried more meaning than a sleigh full of reindeer tracks across a fresh blanket of snow only to hit my grandma.

Just in time for Halloween, Page, Powers, and I count down the Top 7 Christian-Safe Halloween Costumes. Spoiler: there are some surprises in

You ever notice how churches get real creative around Halloween? Like, we can’t just say “Halloween Party.” No, it’s gotta be “The Harvest Hallelujah Fall Family Festival Extravaganza of Non-Spooky Fellowship.” Because nothing says “we’re not celebrating Halloween” like kids in costumes eating candy under a banner that says NOT HALLOWEEN. So, in this episode of Rock Mountain Live, Gavin and I are joined by Mike Stevens from Union Hill, and we’re counting down the Top 7 Ways C

Thoughts at My Husband’s Funeral is a song I wrote to give grieving spouses words when their own seem to fail. It captures both the sorrow of loss and the hope of reunion in Christ, reminding us that even in the valley of death, God’s presence remains.
