Yes, miracles are real. And I believe God can manifest one anytime He wants or desires. Are you with me so far? Well, get ready to jump off this train. Because I’m about to make a stop where many, if not most, Christians (and pretty much everybody else) don’t wanna go. Miracles are real. But God isn’t using them right … The rest of the story…

Hey kiddos. Repeat after me. Metamorphosis. Wow. Now, that’s a word they should change into something easier to say. Right? Hey, wait a second. Eureka! That’s it! We could use the word, change. But metamorphosis is a drastic change. Like what a caterpillar goes through to become a beautiful butterfly. Yeah, you just about can’t find a more drastic change … The rest of the story…
So, I’m sitting at my desk. And I found this in-depth review of my website. Part of it said: Tony Funderburk’s website paints a picture of a man who is: Boldly Convicted: Unapologetic about his Christian beliefs, he uses his platform to proclaim his faith and values. Creatively Versatile: As a writer, musician, and illustrator, he blends media to craft … The rest of the story…
Do these sound like masculine traits? Decisiveness, assertiveness, and confidence? I think they certainly SHOULD sound like masculine traits. And I believe those traits can be instilled into boys in ways that help them develop leadership skills. Let me ask you this? Do you think that’s happening in America these days? I don’t. At least not as a rule. Only … The rest of the story…
Here’s a little more sharp talk for ya. And, just so you know, I’m not a Greek expert. Actually not even a Greek amateur. But there are some who dig more deeply into Greek translation to get a better understanding of what different parts of the Bible mean. Here’s an example of that, from Ronald Giese Jr., using the word … The rest of the story…
“Iron Sharpens Iron” is just about 99.99% always used as a positive expression. Christians, especially men, love to use it as though it’s a good thing to do to/for a friend or colleague to “help” them get closer to the true meaning of scripture. And I believe it’s a good thing to sharpen your understanding of God’s word. Even more … The rest of the story…
Years ago I wrote about the reality of love. And this is another take on that message… Love needs consistent care and attention. It doesn’t have a “one-size-fits-all” option like some gloves do. In fact, you’ll discover, over the course of your life, how your love can go through many changes. Young love, for example, is full of emotional passion. … The rest of the story…
Here’s something I didn’t learn from my Dad: It’s important that certain traits are taught alongside empathy. Because they foster respect for all genders and emotional intelligence which helps ensure that masculinity is not reduced to harmful stereotypes. And that can encourage a spectrum of positive attributes that can benefit everyone. So, what do you think of me now? Surprised … The rest of the story…
He showed up with a servitude heart. And that was no small detail. Because he was actually a king. No, that’s not quite accurate. He was THE king. Of the whole universe, in fact. But He showed up here in our dirty, little world with a mission to make things right. And His actions, over and over, proved He came … The rest of the story…
You have enough to think about today. So, don’t add tomorrow’s worries to today. And that’s not just some anecdotal thing I came up with. It’s advice that can also be found in red letters in the Bible. (for those of you unfamiliar with the Bible, red letters are used when it’s Jesus talking) Yeah, your Creator actually said you … The rest of the story…
We will not comply. That’s a trending topic on X (aka: Twitter) this morning. Of course, that sentiment is appropriate so I clicked on the link to see what was being said about it. And the first thing I saw was a short video of President-Elect Trump saying those very words. “Hear these words. We will not comply!” Then he … The rest of the story…
