Seasons of Wrestling

In a couple of weeks — on April 28 in Klyde Warren Park in Dallas, Texas — we are hosting our first IF:Citywide. Our dream is that women who might not be comfortable walking through the doors of a church or joining a small group but — who at the very least — are curious about […]

Looking Up

Gosh, sorry I haven’t written since the big news. I meant to, but time has sort of escaped me. How have I been doing??? Well, I have been a tad overwhelmed. The logistics of moving to California are far more complicated than I imagined.  Figuring out where to live and how to get my self, […]

What Can We Count On?

It is July. JULY. I can hardly believe it. JULY. I think I wouldn’t believe it had I not barely survived the chaos that was the Fourth of July festivities at the Wilson’s. JULY. We are six months through a year that is best described, by quoting the “Fresh Prince of Belair” theme song. The year my […]

10 Lessons I Have Learned

The countdown is on. I only have two more days of work at Thomas Nelson. {I know. I know. I am a little in shock about the whole thing too.} I thought it would be fitting to write about some of the things I have learned the last four years, so here you go: 1. […]

Why I Think You Should Be Present

I don’t know much about what this fall, next month, or even next week but I do know that I am going to “Be Present” at the Catalyst Conference in Atlanta this fall. It’s happening October 5-7 at the Gwinnett Arena and includes high-octane speakers, powerful worship, and an experience unlike any other. Truly, it’s […]

The Voyage of Celebrity Century

On Thursday evening I returned from almost a week at sea with a crew of dear friends, several dozen like-minded acquaintances scattered throughout North America, a rested body, mind, and spirit, and the inevitable sneaky pounds affixed to my mid-section (If only there was a “Gain It” app, I could have killed it on this […]

What We Really Need From Our Pastors

So often what we want is not really what we need. We want a cheeseburger, but we need a salad. We want to ride off into the sunset bad boy, but we need to grow old with a solid, dependable best friend. We want to run kicking and screaming at the first sign of trouble, […]

Just Call Me…Catalyst Freak

I apologize for this brief interruption to the previously scheduled programming. I just had to get something off my chest. There are very few things I am fanatical about. I guess I am just not wired that way. I appreciate most things in a more sedate way. But over the last year I have found one […]

Today is the Day

Today is the day. Today is the day we all have been waiting for, or at least the day I have been waiting for. Today is the official release date for my pastor and Thomas Nelson author Pete Wilson’s debut book Plan B. Have you ever had a shattered dream? An unmet expectation? A failed plan? […]
