I am a member of the devotional team here at South, and also enjoy co-leading The Faith Film Collective with the fabulous Rod Taylor.

I’m so honored to spend this time with you as we grow closer to the Lord!

I was 12 years old when The Omen came out in theaters. I was too young to watch it in theaters, but I had heard rumblings about the antichrist before. The older kids who really...
See, I’m FASTING ! “When you fast, don’t make yourselves look sad like the hypocrites. They put a look of suffering on their faces so that people will see they are fasting. The truth is,...
