I am very grateful for the opportunity to be a “regular” of NBC’s KC Live TV show every other week to talk about life from a pastor’s perspective. Although it's a little more "self-help" than I'd prefer, at least it's a chance to build trust with the KC viewing area and open doors to share the gospel. You’ll see a sampling of the most recent clips. If there is an episode that you don’t see, let me know and I’ll find it for you.
Ungrateful people suck! Let's be honest. In fact, people who are grateful are actually 25% happier, have less stress, have better friendships and have a strong immune system. So why are you still negative? Become a grateful person and change your life!

Although I serve the NFL, I am supported through the generous financial support from individuals, churches and businesses who believe in the idea that by reaching professional athletes with the gospel message, you can truly impact the world for Christ. This is was a huge step of faith for my family in 2014 but we are believing that as God has led us in this endeavor, He will provide.
