Last week I asked that you guys in joining me in praying for Matt Chandler, a hero of mine. He had a mass removed from his right frontal lobe last week and yesterday they received the Pathology report. Please take a moment to read the update (which can be found on his churches' web page) and continue praying for Matt and his family.Dear church,In the first chapter of Philippians, the Apostle Paul

In October I was introduced to an organization that really blew me away. The organization is called Kiva and they make it their business to help those in poverty who have an entrepreneurial drive to get connected with others who can help them by lending them small amounts of money. The money loaned must be paid back by the benefactor within a certain time frame. As I heard about this unique

Matt Chandler, the pastor at The Village Church in Texas, is one of my heroes. Through podcasts, articles and conferences, he has been one of the biggest influences in my life for the past year and a half. Last week, on Thanksgiving Day to be exact, he had a seizure and was rushed to the hospital to find out that he was a small mass in the right frontal lobe of his brain. Today (Friday, Dec. 4th

For Isabel's birthday, Heidi's parents bought the kids a sweet playhouse complete with a slide, rock wall, and some swings! I have to admit that while I was excited about the play set, I wasn't that motivated to get the building project under way. You see it came in two huge boxes and although I didn't officially count, I am pretty sure that their must have been somewhere around 8 million pieces.

Last week I had the great pivelege of speaking at the middle school retreat for Trinity Christian School at Berry College. The day that I spoke, I drove up early to Rome and spent most of the day visiting old friends and checking out some old sights. About mid day, I went over to the Berry campus to take in the sights. If you have never been to Berry College, then you have missed a glimpse into

It's official, the Hicks family is having another princess!!! We found out last Thursday in an unusual and awesome way. Here's the scoop:Last Wednesday Heidi went in for the sonogram to find out the sex of our baby. I was away at a conference so I couldn't go with her to find out what we are having. We wanted to share this moment together so Heidi told the doctor not to tell her what the sex of

About six weeks ago I was introduced to a whole lot of goodness--that's right, a Spicy Chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-a! One of my friends went to Maryland and apparently up north they have these sandwiches that are made straight from God's kitchen. He brought me one home and it has changed my life. After eating this goodness, I started asking my friends at the local Chick-fil-a about why we

We've been busy but that doesn't mean that my mind hasn't been racing. By that I mean I have had a bunch of things that I could have blogged about, but didn't have time. So I thought I would just dump some thoughts out into blog world and let you add the commentary, so here are my random thoughts:Big news: In case you haven't heard, we are expecting another bambino!!!

5 Years ago on Sept. 13th, our life changed forever in a great way. Kirsten Isabel Hicks was born. It's crazy that it has been five years. We have shared so many wonderful memories with our little princess--that is exactly what she is! So, to you, our little girl who is growing up way to fast, your mommy and daddy say this: we are so thankful for you, we LOVE you and we wish you a Happy Birthday!

What would you say is the most important thing about you and I? Many might say that it’s our money, our status, our friends, but a guy named A.W. Tozer says that the most important thing about you and I is “what comes to mind when we think about God.” The reason for this is because how you view something determines how you respond to it. Think about it—if you think of someone in negative terms,

This past weekend, our church hosted the Daraja African Children's Choir. They are part of a ministry called the 410 bridge. Their mission is to bridge (Daraja is swahili for bridge) our hearts to God and bridge the country of Kenya (where they are from) to the rest of the world.

Before you read the following God encounter, please know that we prayerfully considered posting this entry—or at least this entry in its entirety. The reason for our hesitation is because we didn’t want people to praise us or anything that we did—rather we wanted to praise God and give Him the glory that is due Him after blessing us through the details in this encounter.*God has shown me over the

The following article about our church was on the front page of the Religion section of the Saturday edition of the Times-Herald."For greater things have yet to come, And greater things are still to be done in this city."Those words from the song, "God of this City," by Christian recording artist Chris Tomlin reflects what is happening at Crossroads Church.

Our neighborhood has a lake on it's property and this past week, we scored big with the fish. Maybe not big as far as catching big fish--rather we caught some big memories...Here is Isa with her very first fish...she really did catch her--with her daddy's help.I was so proud of her for actually wanting to touch the fish...Carson didn't share he same enthusiasm as her--especially after they

A Few months back (after I didn't check my facebook for several days) I recieved a facebook message that my best friend from High School son had passed away and the funeral was that day. After reading the message and realizing that I was already late for the funeral, I rushed off to be with the family.

Seven years ago today, my life changed forever—in such a great way—It was on this day seven years ago that I married the most amazing woman ever. I heard someone use a phrase a few weeks ago that accurately portrays my Heidita and that phrase is that she is a Proverbs 32 woman. If you know that Proverbs, you know that there are only 31 chapters and in that last chapter, the writer talks about
