Jesus Socks
I love socks! While there was a time in young Matthew’s life when I loathed the thought of getting socks as a gift, I am now at the point where socks are some of the greatest gifts ever! Let me clarify, though—I’m not talking about boring old white or black socks. No, we’re talking about…
Making Excuses
Society today loves to make excuses. Really, we are all guilty of it at some point or another. Excuses commonly make us feel like we have a way out of whatever situation we may be in. Friends want to hang out when you really don’t want to? “Oh, we already have plans.” Showing up late…
Knowing His Voice
With my wife, Haley, now being roughly 29 weeks pregnant at the time of this article, things are starting to become much more real in the Hite household! If I am being honest, though, the experience I have had up to the last month or so has been quite different than I expected. One of…
Knowing God in His Creation
Anyone who has stepped foot in my office can tell you I have a thing for space. While most of the stuff in my office is Star Wars related, my interests are not exclusively sci-fi themed! I have a deep love and fascination for space and spaceflight. I have LEGO models of the Saturn V…
The Many Or The Few?
Perhaps one of the biggest challenges in ministry is getting people involved. Speaking from my own experience as a youth minister, I have found myself many times struggling to get our group to jump in and be involved.

The show would get your adrenaline high! Many times my friends and I would want to do…

How A King Sees THE KING
The accounts within Daniel 2-4 are often considered some of the most well-known accounts in the entire book. Chapter 2 tells us the events concerning Nebuchadnezzar’s dream that only Daniel could interpret. Chapter 3 details the deliverance of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego from Nebuchadnezzar’s fiery furnace after refusing to worship his golden image. Then, in…
THIS IS THE WAY
“This is the way”— such a simple but powerful Mandalorian creed. This short phrase really defines the way of life for a Mandalorian. It is a reminder of their purpose and reason for what they choose to do. Alright, some of you might be really confused. If there’s one thing people learn about me the…
The View from 254 Miles Up
Yesterday, my dad and I went to space! Okay, so we didn’t ACTUALLY go to space. We didn’t feel the weightlessness of zero gravity or experience the sensation of a rocket launch, but to us—we went to space! A Virtual Reality experience just opened in Houston, enabling people to take a virtual tour of the…
