Joey+Rory Show



Living in Nashville, I have experienced some of the greatest opportunities. From the random meetings of celebrities in the malls to attending a CMA Red Carpet event. However, there is one experience that sets above all the others... attending the Joey and Rory Show. A God spirited family with an amazing love for music.

Foundation Built on the Bedrock of Jesus


With a New Year comes the hope of a fresh new start. Some of us evaluate the past year and make resolutions to make this year better than the last. By now most of resolutions that were jotted down have probably been pushed aside. Life has an odd way of dishing out the unexpected, and it often turns out to be a little more than we think we can handle. Of all the crazy things most put on their New Year resolution list, this year it's time to change it up. This year it's time to be honest with yourself and Christ.  
Pray more, remain consistent in our faith, and creating a stronger relationship with God.

Staying consistent in our faith is one of the best and most foundational things that we can do to be prepared for whatever the New Year has to offer.  Just like a building, our faith is constructed on a foundation. A foundation that is constructed by strength from our spiritual life and is sits on the bedrock of Jesus.

Dedicated and consistent time spent with God brings our lives in line with His plan for us.  A strong foundation starts with an extremely deep relationship with God. There is no substitute for it. There are no fast tracks and no hacks to get there quickly. Relationship cannot be completed; it is ever growing, ever changing, and eternal. Therefore, it must be worked on daily, consistently, and with intention. God’s success is simply defined by how closely we followed His plan for our lives.

“For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.”

-Titus 2:11-13
