Eric Geiger, the senior VP at Lifeway, wrote a blog about some new research that revealed the top 5 influencers on child's spiritual health. The one that seemed most surprising to people that saw this study was the fact that number 4 on the list was listening to Christian Music. I want to say...

When “Connected” means “Disconnected”
I just wanted to share some quick thoughts on something that I saw on my Facebook feed yesterday. Ford Trucks posted an advertisement about their new Ford F-150 Innovations. The interior of that truck looks amazing. It’s like a mini living room. The seats look huge and comfy for those kids and it looks to … Continue reading When “Connected” means “Disconnected”
Rejecting the Greatest Generation
Here's a parody of an Amazon Echo commercial that's been going around lately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvT_gqs5ETk What makes this commercial funny? Cause old people are weird, right?

Celebrity Apprentice: Arnold the Governator Edition
I have a huge confession: I am a giant Arnold Schwarzenegger fan, especially of his late 80's and early 90's movies. (Yeah, that includes even Last Action Hero.) I'm one of those, "not ashamed of it" kind of fans. So when I found out that he was going to be hosting the new Celebrity Apprentice … Continue reading Celebrity Apprentice: Arnold the Governator Edition
