God at the Driving Range
James found Third Coast Church because he was looking for a place to improve his golf game. After a couple of visits to Third Coast Links, he (like many others) thought, “Hold on, this is a church??” Shortly after that, he decided to visit us on a Sunday and said he enjoyed the music, teaching, […]
The Hardest Act in Parenting Teens
Lately, I’ve found myself really grieving the fact that my kids are getting older. I guess I’m simply missing the “younger years” that used to be.

The Power of Gospel Symbols
Ten years ago, I was a pastor to students at Ridge Point along with great friend, Dave McGovern. We had a shared mentor who introduced us to a series of symbols that helped to communicate the gospel story. Dave and I wanted to use those symbols to create a simple way of helping our students, […]
