The Naked Truth About Worship
by Ivey Rhodes on May 18th, 2024
King David is one of the most important figures in the Bible. There are several well-known stories about him, and not all of them are good. But one of the characteristics of David that God treasured most was that he was a man after God's own heart. This made him a worshiper. While worship is more than music, it is not less than music, and David was a prolific songwriter. He wrote almost half of th...  Read More

Google Maps Changed the Game
by Ivey Rhodes on May 11th, 2024
Yesterday, Allie and I were reminiscing about how half our honeymoon was spent driving around lost. Seriously, my sense of direction is admittedly, not great. To complicate the problem, we had to look at actual physical maps made of paper to get where we were trying to go.  Read More

The Best Movie Trilogy of All Time
by Ivey Rhodes on May 3rd, 2024
Because it is May the 4th, I couldn't not write about Star Wars. I am a huge Star Wars fan. I've seen every movie many times (Except for The Last Jedi, that movie is hot garbage). I've seen the prequels and original movies more than I dare admit. They are great movies, and in some opinions, the original movies are the greatest trilogy of all time.  Read More

Is That What Mom Actually Said?
by Ivey Rhodes on April 27th, 2024
Did your parents ever ask you to deliver a message to your siblings? Maybe they wanted the trash taken out or their room cleaned. Whatever the reason, I was never more drunk on power than when I carried a message from my parents.  Read More

Where to Find Real Life
by Matt Fleming on April 13th, 2024
As a freshman in college, I had the opportunity to intern for the youth ministry at a church in South Carolina. I was only there a few months before the youth minister left the church. The church was lucky enough to have the head of the Youth Ministry department at the local Bible college become their interim youth pastor.  Read More

Big Questions? Just Google It...
by Ivey Rhodes on April 6th, 2024
Whenever I'm watching a movie and I can't remember where I know an actor from, I'm searching on Google. If I'm having a discussion and someone says something I think might be a little off, I'm pulling my phone out of my pocket and googling it. If I have a burning question, the answer is only a few swipes and taps away on Google. How did we ever resolve arguments and answer random questions before smartphones? Did we write down our burning questions during the day and search at home from our desktop computers? Were we pausing movies to crank up the Pentium 3 and ask Jeeves? I don't know about you, but I was not.  Read More

Easter, Bunnies, Eggs, and The Resurrection
by Ivey Rhodes on March 30th, 2024
Tomorrow is Easter Sunday It is hands-down the most important Christian holiday. I love Christmas as much as the next person, but we were never commanded to remember Christmas. Do you know what holy day we are supposed to remember is Easter? Actually, we are supposed to remember the resurrection which happens on the day we call Easter.  Read More

Recently my daughter got in trouble for a word she said at school.This past summer our family went to Shakespeare in Boston Common to watch Macbeth. It was an incredible performance. I would highly recommend it. Skip ahead 6 months and my daughter was in a school performance of Hamlet. She was having a conversation with one of her teachers and she mentioned that she saw "MacBeth" this past summer....  Read More

by Ivey Rhodes on March 15th, 2024
What would you do for a free Whopper? Would you break up with a friend? How about 10 friends? In 2009, Burger King ran a creative and controversial ad campaign that tested the lengths people would go for a free burger.It was called the Whopper Sacrifice campaign. It asked users to unfriend ten of their Facebook friends for a free Whopper. While it may sound ridiculous, plenty of people were happy ...  Read More

Jealousy, Turning Saints Into the Sea
by Ivey Rhodes on March 9th, 2024
Known as the Millennial Anthem, Mr. Brightsides by the Killers is now a classic. You cannot go to a sporting event without hearing it blasted throughout the stadium and belted by all in attendance. To be honest, I do not know why it has become a sports anthem. You see, Mr. Brightsides has nothing to do with sports. It is a song about jealousy.  Read More
