Stephen Curry Interview
So many people dream of playing for the Tar Heels of North Carolina, the Duke Blue Devils, and the Kentucky Wildcats. Teams that are rich in tradition have the facilities, the following, and the exposure to stay on top for decades and many young men dream of putting on those jerseys while playing AAU ball and high school basketball. They want their names to go down in history as being a part of these storied programs. Stephen Curry also held that dream. His father had excelled in the NBA and he dreamed of going to an ACC school or an ...
Q&A – What is God’s relationship to time?
Answer: We live in a physical world with its four known space-time dimensions of length, width, height (or depth) and time. However, God dwells in a different dimension—the spirit realm—beyond the perception of our physical senses. It’s not that God isn’t real; it’s a matter of His not being limited by the physical laws and dimensions that govern our world (Isaiah 57:15). Knowing that “God is spirit” (John 4:24), what is His relationship to time?In Psalm 90:4, Moses used a simple yet profound analogy in describing the timelessness of God: “For a thousand years in Your sight are like a day ...
MIKESCHAIR Interview
As the world looks in on Christianity today, they are looking for honesty and for sincerity. Too often, what they have found is hypocrisy in those who profess to be followers of Christ. As a new generation of bands hits the forefront in Christianity today, we are seeing a transparency that has never been seen before. MIKESCHAIR is one band who is definitely not afraid to openly discuss who they are, hoping that in their journey with the Lord, others may relate and come to know Him as well. MIKESCHAIR formed while they were students at Belmont University. The Lord has ...
Interview – Phil Wickham
A few weeks ago, I took a silent retreat into the North Carolina wilderness to get alone with God and to allow him to speak to my heart. I took a copy of 1 cd on my ipod, Heaven and Earth which is Phil Wickham’s latest album that releases on November 17. God spoke to me in many ways through scripture but He allowed Phil’s music to bring me to a point of true worship. I sat down with Phil this morning to talk a little bit about who he is, his career and what inspires his songwriting abilities. History Q- Give ...
Men of God Spotlight: Travis Fryman
He played for himself at the beginning of his career. His goal was to win and sharing the infield with Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker meant that winning was something that would happen often. He had an opportunity of a lifetime coming up with the Tigers but a few years after his debut, he began to see the game of baseball and the people surrounding him in an entirely different way. God opened his heart and his eyes to see things that way that God sees them, not just for what they can do, but for who they are. Travis Fryman ...

Ministry Spotlight – Upper 90 Ministry
The way that Jesus reached people always took on a different form. For some, He reached them through healing. For others, He reached them through a parable that revolved around where they were in life. He told parables about fishing when He came into contact with fishermen. He told parables about various walks of life, hoping to tie in the lessons of God to something that they could understand. Upper 90 Ministry is seeking to do the same thing, using the most global sport in the world to open the door for the message of Jesus.

Monday, September 14, 2009
Training camp has come and gone and the pre-season of the NFL is in full swing. Press releases and news stories are one thing that is not slowing down one bit. Brett Favre has come out of retirement again to lead the Vikings in the NFC North which is a conference that he is no stranger to. Michael Vick is on his way back to the field as a remorseful man who knows he did wrong and currently takes responsibility for his actions as mentor, former Indianapolis Colts head coach, Tony Dungy continues to be a great accountability partner. Most men who know anything about football remember coach Dungy taking the Colts to the Super Bowl just a few years ago, but there was a special man on that team that was also mentored by Tony and then went to play for him in Indianapolis, Ben Utecht. Ben is a tight end who now wears a Cincinnati Bengals jersey but more importantly he is a man who is not afraid to take a stand for God on and off of the football field and has recently released his self titled CD entitled Ben Utecht. I had a chance to catch up with Ben one afternoon after a training session and he had great things to say.
